Only the lazy don’t know about the miraculous properties of light shades, mirrored and glossy surfaces, which can visually increase space.

At the same time, there is another clever way to change the proportions of a cramped and small room, which was told to us by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino .

So, if the height of the ceilings in the room allows, you should try to raise the doorways up - this is the very method that gently and delicately corrects the impression of visitors.

Thanks to high doors, a cramped room will appear visually higher, and will also look elegant and formal.

True, there are some downsides here.

Most likely, high door panels will have to be made to order, since a ready-made copy is unlikely to be found in the average store.

However, you can also resort to the help of an economy option. To do this, you will have to design the doorways to the ceiling, while leaving the doors of normal height.

The area above should be filled with panels that match the door leaf. This way you can save on doors without compromising the visual effect.

Finally, we will give one more piece of advice: it will be better if the color of the doors contrasts with the shade of the walls.
