Some design tricks can help with the visual increase in ceiling height, if this has become a real problem for you. Let's take a closer look at the best methods of dealing with such a flaw in the apartment.
Basic techniques for lengthening a room
First you need to adjust the architectural elements of the layout, located horizontally. With the help of such details, the space is visually shortened and expanded. When the room has low ceilings, you should not use decorative panels that further hide such necessary meters of the room. If they still have an important role in the interior, then it is better to install them below the usual level.
Use the advice of designers who recommend the use of optical illusions.Thanks to some methods, the height of the room visually increases. For low ceilings:
- glue wallpaper or paint walls close to the ceiling, without retreating from it;
- use vertical trim elements and wallpaper with a longitudinal pattern;
- choose the right colors that do not narrow the space;
- make the floor covering attractive so that attention is more riveted to it;
- install mirrored ceilings;
- visually lengthen the walls.
Wallpapers with vertical images
The easiest way to increase low ceilings is to wallpaper with a vertical pattern. However, keep in mind that you should not choose wallpaper with an overly wide pattern or large and bright colors as a pattern, as they can create an effect that is not at all what you expect. It is necessary to choose wallpaper with an unobtrusive pattern.
Important! Wallpaper with any monotonous vertical pattern will visually increase the height of the ceilings. For those who like the interior brighter, you can use the technique of focusing on a specific area of the room with the addition of several bright stripes or images.
Tricky ways
Fill the room with furniture with a glossy surface. Using this method, the problem of a low ceiling in an apartment is solved. The right choice of finish is very important. Glossy shine can increase the volume of the room, as well as give the space some depth. Low-hanging ceilings can be visually removed with a shiny PVC film.
Not only white film will do. The main thing is to have shine and reflection, then you get what you expect from a stretch ceiling.You can even use the black color of the film if the design of the room so requires - thanks to the dark glossy finish and the reflective properties of the surface, there is a visual increase in the distance of the walls in height.
