Advice please, I have a rectangle shaped bedroom with an over size wall. I want to make the room look less wide and not so much like the rectangle that it is. Other than building a practical wall and attaching it to one side of the over size wall, what do you recommend that I do with this room that I do not like.
Would crown molding make this room look shorter than what it already looks without crown molding?
Also if I replaced the base board with a thicker (taller) base board would this make the room seem shorter? The ceiling is the standard height (8 ft tall).

What is ''over sized wall''?

To make a room look longer paint far wall darker then side walls.

Baseboard molding will be hidden by furniture. Have no effect.

Don't know effect u will get with crown molding. If painted same color as ceiling, may give appearance of lower ceiling. Have never looked at it that way.

Good luck
