Correct painting of walls is a guarantee of turning a small and uncomfortable room into a spacious and comfortable one.

Many people paint the entire wall, from floor to ceiling.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of design and interior design, is sure that this approach is wrong.

It is advisable to paint the wall partially. Then an interesting effect will arise.

It is advisable to carry out the work in such a way that part of the wall remains unpainted.

So, it is desirable to leave the upper part of the vertical structure white. The ceiling should be the same color.

If this condition is met, the top covering of the room will appear visually raised.

As a result, there will be a feeling that the height of the room has increased. And this contributes to the emergence of coziness and getting rid of the feeling of crampedness.

What part of the wall needs to be painted

At least half of the wall needs to be covered with paint.

It would be better if the border of the painted part was slightly higher than the middle of the vertical structure.
