Living in an apartment with low ceilings is not very comfortable.

A person gets the feeling that the top layer of the room is “pressing” on him.

Lack of space makes rooms less comfortable.

However, the problem is solved with incredible ease.

It is enough to change the color of the ceiling. An interesting design trick was told by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior Yulia Tychino .

What color to paint the ceiling

No, there is no specific “saving” color.

Absolutely any color can play this role - white, black, beige, blue, green, etc.

But there is one important condition: the color of the ceiling must match the color of the walls.

It is in this case that the ceiling will visually “rise”. And this will happen due to the “erasing of boundaries” between the upper and side coverings of the room.

In other words, before you repaint the ceiling, you need to look at the walls. If they are, for example, gray, then the top coating should be made the same.

Earlier, the designer told what kind of tiles to choose for an apartment – small or large.
