Increasing the Ceiling Height: Recommendations from Professionals

You can visually increase the height of a room by choosing the right color for the ceiling. For low rooms, the ideal solution is to use paint or wallpaper.

The preferred color scheme is pale green, blue, blue-gray, gray or pearl. In this case, the room will visually look higher.

Wallpaper or a suspended ceiling with an imitation of the sky with light, airy clouds will look no less impressive.

An excellent result can be achieved with the help of a mirror suspended ceiling.

For this purpose, a metal frame is installed, on which mirror panels are installed. But this method is quite complex and labor-intensive. A stretch glossy ceiling is also suitable for these purposes.

Please note that when installing such ceilings, the height will decrease a little more, but this is compensated by the reflection effect, due to which it will visually seem that the ceiling is much higher.

You can visually make a room higher with the help of walls. To do this, you need to use wallpaper with vertical stripes, a pattern or an ornament for their decoration.

But using this method, it is necessary to make the transition from the wall to the ceiling less noticeable. Accordingly, there can be no talk of using molding.

For low rooms, it is not recommended to use massive chandeliers. It is advisable to use compact flat chandeliers or spotlights.

Curtains will help to visually increase the height of the ceiling. For small rooms, it is preferable to use long floor-length curtains hung on a thin cornice.
