Not all people are lucky enough to have high ceilings. Those who are not so lucky often feel inconvenience and discomfort.

To prevent the room from appearing like a cramped closet, you can resort to visual techniques.

Yulia Tychino, an expert on design and architecture at the MOS SMI portal, will tell you how to visually increase the height of your ceiling.

Color and gloss

To make the ceilings visually higher, you need to pay attention to the white color. It can make the room more voluminous.

In addition to the color of the ceiling, it is important to consider its texture. If you give preference to a glossy surface, the effect will be enhanced.

Wall color

To visually enlarge the ceiling, it is important that the walls are darker. If this is not done, the ceiling will be visually overloaded.

Avoiding bulky lamps and chandeliers

Large structures hanging from the ceiling can make the ceiling appear lower. To prevent this situation, it is better to resort to compact soffits.

Vertical drawing

You can increase the height of the ceiling with the help of a vertical pattern. On the contrary, it is better to exclude horizontal lines.
