How to change the proportions of a room

If you need to expand a small room, then it is worth decorating the walls and ceiling with the same light material. For example, do not stop at the walls when pasting wallpaper, but use it on the ceiling as well.

Dark walls combined with a light ceiling and floor are an ideal combination for rooms with irregular geometry, such as attics.

Decorating the far wall of the room in light colors will help to lengthen the room. This move allows you to create a perspective of the corridor.

If the opposite effect is needed, then you should act accordingly. Too long a room is decorated by making the far wall dark, and the rest are decorated in light shades.
