The plane over your head (pun inexcusable) deserves your attention: from architectural solutions to wallpaper, a ceiling with some added interest brings dimension into the feel of a room. At the very least, add a little wall color paint into the can of ceiling white, especially in two story spaces. Pay attention to the scale of the treatment (architectural and wallpaper pattern) with the room footprint versus the height of the ceiling - done right, the ceiling plays well with the rest of the room...
