Low ceilings are a very common problem in apartments.
However, you can visually “raise” the ceiling using a few simple techniques.
Yulia Tychino, an expert on interior design and interior design, spoke about how to properly use the ceiling in such a case.
Light shades
With the right combination of colors you can visually enlarge the space.
In this situation, it is worth choosing light shades. It is advisable to paint the wall and ceiling in the same color.
Because in this case there will be no clear boundaries between the zones, the room may seem higher and more spacious.
Moreover, for painting the ceiling, you can choose glossy options, because they also help to visually make the room larger.
Vertical stripes
Vertical stripes help to visually stretch the walls and make them higher.
Therefore, you can choose wallpaper with such a pattern. You can also decorate only one or two walls in the room with stripes.
In addition, it is worth giving preference to the corresponding decor. For example, it is better to choose vertical paintings or posters.
Proper lighting
In a room with a low ceiling, it is better not to use large and heavy chandeliers.
It is recommended to replace them with built-in options.
You can make a small plasterboard box around the perimeter of the ceiling, but only with lighting in the central part.
A good solution would be to use a matte box and a glossy finish in the central part.
