Many owners of apartments with low ceilings dream of increasing the space.

Of course, you don't need to dismantle anything for this. It's enough that the height of the rooms is increased only visually.

You can visually “raise” the ceiling by painting the wall in a certain way.

If everything is done correctly, the desired result will be achieved in literally one day.

Yulia Tychino, an expert in the field of design for the online publication BelNovosti, spoke about an unusual way to update an interior.

How to paint a wall

The correct color scheme for rooms with low ceilings is as follows: part of the wall should be dark, part light.

Moreover, it is advisable to use different shades of the same color.

Let's take blue as an example: it is ideal for the bedroom as it is calming and relaxing.

If the owner of the apartment wants to visually “raise” the ceiling, he should make the lower part of the wall dark blue and paint the upper part light blue.

It is ideal if the transition from one shade to another is gradual.

In a similar way, you can design a transition like this: from black to gray, and then to white.
