1. A system, comprising:
one or more inflatable objects configured to at least partially affix to a ceiling of a room;
one or more valves configured to direct a fluid into the one or more inflatable objects to transition the one or more inflatable objects from a first state to a second state, wherein the second state corresponds to the one or more inflatable objects being inflated with the fluid; and
a processor configured to:
receive a request to adjust one or more positions of the one or more valves to cause the fluid to be directed into the one or more inflatable objects; and
send one or more commands to a mechanical system configured to control the one or more positions of the one or more valves in response to receiving the request, wherein the one or more inflatable objects transitions from the first state to the second state after the one or more valves adjusts to the one or more positions, and wherein the one or more inflatable objects in the second state is configured to reduce an available height of the room.
