If you want to make the ceilings in the room visually higher, which is especially important for owners of Khrushchev-era apartments, try to achieve a similar effect using curtains.

Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, often uses a similar trick in her professional work, which consists of placing curtains up to the ceiling and to the floor.

If you are just planning to make a suspended ceiling, think about such a moment as the placement of the cornice in advance - the best solution would be a hidden cornice.

In this case, you will be able to create the impression that the curtains are descending from the ceiling itself.

If the repair work has come to an end, there is no need to despair – hang the barbell as high as possible.

By the way, consider replacing the cornice with a model in the same color as the walls or ceiling - this will make it even more invisible.

Not only the height of the cornice placement is important, but also the material from which the curtains are made.

The main requirement is that it should not be too heavy, so velvet or velour curtains are not suitable.

Leave them for spacious rooms, since in small rooms such textiles only draw attention to themselves and visually make the room smaller.
