Low ceilings make rooms look cramped and uncomfortable.
There is a feeling of lack of free space.
It is not very pleasant to be in such rooms, especially if there is bulky and high furniture.
Luckily, there are three ways to visually increase flow. And they can be used simultaneously.
Yulia Tychino, an expert in the field of design and interior design for the online publication BelNovosti, shared her tricks.
Using one color
To make the ceiling seem higher, you need to paint this surface in the same color as the walls. Preferably, it should be white or beige.
The result will be an optical illusion: it will seem as if there is much more free space in the room.
Striped wallpaper
Another way to visually raise the ceiling is to use striped paper finishing material.
Such wallpaper should appear on the walls. Moreover, the stripes should go from the bottom up, and not be located horizontally.
Installation of special lighting fixtures
One of the reasons for the feeling of crampedness in a room with a low ceiling is the presence of a huge pendant lamp.
It is better to refuse such a lighting device. It is advisable to install a built-in one.
In this case, the lamp will not “take up” space, which is already small.
