In many apartments the ceilings are quite low.

In rooms that are parts of such dwellings, it is advisable to make the floors dark.

This recommendation was shared by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior design , Yulia Tychino .

According to the expert, using dark flooring allows you to visually increase the height of the room.

How to decorate a room correctly

The expert emphasizes that it is not enough to simply paint the floor black or use a dark flooring material.

The design trick will only be effective if you choose the right colors for the walls and ceiling.

These surfaces should be white. The fact is that a dark floor starts to “work” only in combination with light vertical structures and a light upper covering of the room.

In such a situation, the floor covering becomes the first thing that catches the eye.

It feels like the floor is "dissolving" into the white background. The result is a visual increase in height and expansion of the room.
