• Installation of suspended ceiling systems. Standard whitewashing and painting is the best way to finish low ceiling. If you wish, you can install a stretch ceiling, which compared to other suspension systems will take not so much height, and that is 4-5 cm.
• The design of the walls horizontal stripes, as well as design window curtains with horizontal print, though will move apart the walls, but will significantly lower the kitchen ceiling.published
