Anyone got a ceiling like this?

I found it when looking at air conditioning - this guy has a 10
degree sloping ceiling, so the AC looks squint. How do people
with ceilings like that hang pictures etc? The site doesn't
always work well - click shift refresh if the picture doesn't
appear.


With a spirit level?


Then the picture looks squint as your eye matches the top of it
with the ceiling.


I guess it's a matter of opinion, but as a designer, I have worked with
picture groupings on walls where there was a slant to the ceiling. The
grouping usually draws the viewer's sight, not the ceiling line. In
any event, if you can't actually change the ceiling, then it's best to
create a visual diversion.


Maybe lots of pictures, but that AC unit looked ridiculous.
