The ceilings in many apartments are too low.
Because of this, the rooms are no longer perceived as spacious and cozy.
However, there are certain tricks that allow you to make even a room with a low ceiling convenient and comfortable.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to visually "lift" the upper part of the room.
Paint correctly
To visually make the height of the room more significant, the ceiling should be made light. The same paint should be used for the walls.
It is desirable that the surfaces shine a little. The appearance of the gloss effect is a guarantee of visual enlargement of the space.
Use appropriate wallpaper
If you are using paper finishing material, then you need to stick white wallpaper without any patterns on the ceiling.
But the wall should have striped wallpaper. And it is important that the stripes are vertical, not horizontal.
Place certain furniture
Sofas and armchairs installed in a room with low ceilings should be light.
It is desirable that the cabinet be also covered with white paint. By the way, the higher this piece of furniture is, the better.
Remove the large lamp
In a room that is not very high, there is no need to install a huge chandelier: it will “eat up” the space.
It is better to replace such a lamp with a small or built-in one. Then there will be much more free space (and therefore comfort and coziness).
