Already using a ceiling fan. Windows are low E and also have wood
blinds. Can't check soffit vents for insulation because this is a
vaulted ceiing with no attic. The ceiling is directly under the roof
(and insulation). Also have 1 return about 8 feet off the floor.
Thanks.

This is a second story bedroom. HVAC comes from the basement. The
floor of this bedroom is wood and is not insulated. Beneath this room
is a small dining room adjacent to the kitchen. Two registers are on
the floor, underneath 2 of the 3 windows.


Bingo!
you just said it
"Two registers are on the floor,

where do you think all that cold air is going ?(on the floor)
a ceiling fan to lift the cold air off the floor will help.
cold air vents in the ceiling or high on the wall work better.





Think of 1/4 of an octangon
(3 sides), and that gives you an idea of the windows along the outside
walls of the room.


use blinds or sun block shades to lessen the sun rays.
this may help some.
do you have Low-E glass in the windows?



The vaulted ceiling was constructed with standard 2 x 6s with firring
strips to allow for more insulation. The room orignally was not to
have a vaulted ceiling. This is why there is no more insulation in the
ceiling. There is a ridge vent running along the roof above the room.

Thanks.

make sure that your soffit vents are NOT covered with insulation.
blocked soffit vents will build up heat in the ceiling.
