There are two ways to build a herringbone roof:
1, make a first-class and second-class suspended ceiling.
One of the main purposes of suspended ceiling is thermal insulation, and the other is decorative effect, which is also convenient for installation and layout.

2. Place furniture to play the role of visual buffer.
Some places where the irregular diagonal of the roof is too close to the floor can be filled with bookcases, making full use of the upper, middle and lower spaces and the design area where adults are not easy to move, and reducing the inconvenience caused by irregular roof design. It is worth noting that the design of bookcases should be divided into different sizes, which is more in line with the needs of life. The big one can put books, and the small one can put sundries.
