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.

Use round or oval picture frames?

two of our "rooms" are flattish roof with
slight slope to shed rain or melting snow.
only one has anything hanging on the wall.
we used hooks in the trim at the top of the
wall and monofilament line. i wouldn't know
if it was level or not, the picture is kinda
behind the coat tree.

Why are you hanging pictures on the ceiling? I hang pictures on the
wall, and the ceiling has nothing to do with it.

The "easy answer" is to shim and strap the ceiling to make it level
with new dry-wall.

Far from the least work - but still the "easy answer"

I looked at the link but still did not understand the comment about
hanging pictures. I hand them about eye level, not at the ceiling.
What did we miss?

The sloping ceiling makes the picture look as though it's hung crooked .

I would have thought that should be done when the house is built. Just because the roof is sloping doesn't mean the ceiling has to be.

Because the picture is close enough to the ceiling so you can tell they are not parallel.

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

The sloping ceiling makes the picture look as though it's hung crooked .


Perhaps on two walls, but not the other two. OTOH, I tend to look t the
picture, not 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.

The best solution to that problem would be to not worry about it. If you
can't, how about putting the pictures lower so you don't often notice
both a picture and the ceiling? You gut used to the picture not looking
perfect, and any guest who complains is being rude.

It would be possible to paint the top few inches of the wall a different
color, making the line (between colors) parallel to the floor. Hang all
pictures below that.

I'd notice a non parallel ceiling/picture immediately and it would severely annoy me. I was once at a lunch with some colleagues, and the technician opposite me was staring at the wall behind me and looking irritated. I turned round and adjusted the squint picture, and my other colleagues were shocked, they thought we were telepathic or something.

That could work.
