Spacious is one thing - cold and uninviting is another. As long as all the colors you use are light, you'll be fine. However, for the ultimate in spaciousness, eliminate the line of contrast between the ceiling and the walls by painting the ceiling the same color as the walls, or at least a few shades lighter. If you don't like colored ceilings, you can't go wrong with flat ceiling white. Also, try to come close with the tone of your walls and flooring. When it comes to making a room look as big as possible (which really shouldn't be your main goal), contrast is the enemy. Try to keep things monotone.
You could play up that one high wall by painting it an accent color and all the other walls and ceiling the same (but different from the first wall) color. That will draw the eye up and create a sense of space.

In my cottage, I have the slanted ceilings upstairs.
I painted the whole room a counrty white, including the ceiling, and then used color in pillows,and art work on the walls.
I was always told to treat the room and the ceiling as one.
it worked well

Paint it the same colour as the walls and this should help make it look larger. If you are really creative put a mirrored ceiling and then the room will certainly look larger....Good luck.
