The standards that architects follow when constructing buildings do not always satisfy the owners of modern apartments, not to mention buildings built more than half a century ago.
Residents of many old houses suffer from low ceilings. Since we, mere mortals, cannot change the size of our homes, we should take advantage of the opportunity to visually increase the height of the room by choosing the right curtains.
Find out more about this from the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", designer Yulia Tychino .
What should be the length of curtains in a room with a low ceiling
When choosing curtains, take into account the fact that gaps, both under the ceiling and those near the floor, prevent the space from being visually stretched.
Therefore, short curtains, the length of which is only enough to cover the window, make the room significantly lower - this option is only suitable for the kitchen.
Curtains of medium length are not the best solution either – they seem to “squeeze” the height.
Therefore, if you have to deal with low ceilings, choose long curtains that fall from the ceiling to the floor.
Try not to leave any free space either at the top or at the bottom – even one missing centimeter will worsen the visual perception of the room.
