The ideal apartment, to which you want to return, in the minds of many looks like a spacious, stylish and cozy apartment, and certainly with high ceilings.

True, the ceiling height in standard housing is usually only 2.5 meters, if not less.

However, don’t be upset: designer Yulia Tychino, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, shared ideas that will help you deceive your eyes and create the illusion of height.

Vertical print

Vertical lines can visually increase the height of a room and add a few much-needed centimeters to the space.

However, it is important not to overdo it, so that the room does not look overloaded.

Try making stripes on one wall, thus turning it into an accent wall. It is not necessary to use lines - you can choose any other vertical pattern.

Long curtains to the floor

Additional verticality can be achieved not only through a pattern on the wall, but also through light curtains.

Curtains should be long enough to reach the floor – only then will the vertical folds in the material be able to visually raise the ceiling.

Another way to increase the height of the room is to install a profile cornice on the ceiling. To hide the cornice, you can use a neutral molding that will have the same color as the wall.

Earlier, the expert told where you can place your desktop so that no one can see the computer screen.
