It’s a shame to lose 12 inches to the upstairs bathroom but the foyer is the best place to lower the ceiling. That way when you enter the other rooms the feeling of expansion is even greater. Frank Lloyd Wright used to do that.
I was just thinking that! I learned about that architectural trick when I toured the hotel he designed. It’s in Clear Lake, Iowa, a city that’s worth a stop if you’re ever out here in the middle of the country. There’s a Wright home in town that you can tour, too, that has a fascinating story.
Lose 12 inches at the foyer, gain a well-plumbed bathroom upstairs. An excellent tradeoff.
