Want to learn about a first-class trick that will easily increase the height of your ceilings and, in addition, give your interior a graphic and more finished look?

Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino knows how to do this.

To achieve this, professionals use a trick called edging on the ceiling.

It can be matched to the color of the walls, or any other shade that is also present in the color scheme of the room's interior can be used for its decoration.

You can place the edging close to the ceiling cornice or set a gap from it, the width of which should be from 8 to 10 cm.

Another important point to watch out for is that the edging does not fall on the spotlights and does not form too narrow areas in those areas where the walls narrow significantly.

Now let's talk about the width of the edge itself. This parameter depends on the size of the room.

Therefore, to determine the thickness of the edging, follow the rule - the larger the room, the wider the edging. On average, this indicator ranges from 2-2.5 cm to 3-3.5 cm.

And finally, the edging should be closed, thus forming a solid contour around the entire perimeter of the ceiling.
