1
Paint the entire walls and ceiling a light, airy color to give the entire room, a full and expansive feel to it. Colors like pastel yellow and cream give a more open feel to the room. You'll have to paint the walls and ceiling the same color as there's no spot where the walls end and the ceiling begins.

2
Install floor length curtains to all the windows in the room, using fabric that has skinny vertical stripes. Just as vertical stripes can make a short person look taller, they can have an elongating and lengthening effect on a room.
-
3
Fill the room with high-backed furniture that has a strong vertical component. For example, if your curved ceiling is in a bedroom, add a bed with four skinny posters. If it's in a dining room, add narrow, high-backed chairs.

4
Install recessed light or track lighting that directs light upwards to the ceiling, causing it to have greater illumination, and a sense of dissolving upwards.
