The Luxurious Design Feature David Bromstad Is Always On The Look Out For

David Bromstad is a master of luxury design, and there are a few features he prioritizes when creating a space for his clients. His big, bold style is reflected in every space, and that's why viewers love his taste. As the star of "My Lottery Dream Home," he knows what it takes to curate a deluxe interior. Although he has an opinion about a lot of different design features, there is one element that he is consistently on the lookout for: high ceilings.

In Season 14, Episode 2, of "My Lottery Dream Home," Bromstad helped his client find her perfect residence in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. While touring homes, his client made a significant comment about a room with vaulted ceilings: "It gives you the illusion of more room, so that's nice." Not only did Bromstad agree, but he also praised her for her astute observation, saying, "Look at you, designer!" This wasn't the only instance of Bromstad expressing his love for tall ceilings. In Season 12, Episode 15, of "My Lottery Dream Home," he told his client, "You could really do some fun things up here," upon seeing the height of the space. As a 6'1" man himself, Bromstad isn't afraid to wear lifted shoes and boots — which could explain his love for lofty spaces! When it comes to HGTV's David Bromstad's best tips for creating your own dream home, a home with high ceilings is a must.

If you're lucky enough to have high ceilings, or you're planning on purchasing a home with this striking feature, Bromstad has some ideas to maximize the expansive space. By following his ideas, you can avoid the mistakes everyone makes when decorating a room with high ceilings. First and foremost, Bromsta loves the look of exposed, wood-style beams. To the same client from Season 12, Episode 15, Bromstad made the following suggestion: "Add some beams. Add some architectural detail!" Timber can be costly, and Bromstad knows that finding ways to work within a tight budget is crucial to a lot of homeowners. Via HGTV, he explained how to get the exposed beam look for less: "Wood right now is ridiculous, and [foam beams] are super lightweight, and they can be put up anywhere, in any space, and it completely transforms the room. It gives it an identity."

Beyond beams, Bromstad offers another recommendation for drawing attention to an impressive ceiling height. In an interview with Fox 4, he said, "I always paint the ceiling. Whether it's the same color or a different color. If you have taller than nine feet, then you can go darker on your ceiling. I mean, who doesn't want a fuchsia ceiling? I know I do!" There are several benefits of using dark paint on your ceilings, and a tall space is the perfect opportunity to experiment with daring designs.
