How to raise a low ceiling: 7 tricks from the pros

The ceiling-2,65 meters – given that it is better to accept calmly, indifferently. And to think about how to make it higher at least visually.

Low furniture, bunk lights, Wallpaper and curtains in stripes – each designer has his own set of favorite techniques that help to pull the room vertically. Look, learn.

 1. Caissons



Caissons (square cell) you have stolen precious 10 inches, but visually, oddly enough, "lift" the ceiling: it will be voluminous and will cease to put pressure on the brain. This effect was known to the ancient Greeks, who invented the coffered ceilings.

 2. Curtains from floor to ceiling



All vertical elements to pull the room up: you can order bookshelves from floor to ceiling, and you can just hang at the Windows with long curtains.

 3. The play of light



In a room with low ceilings it is better to be on the ceiling lights in favor of multiple local light sources. The most eye-pleasing light floor lamps – lamps of the second tier. Some of them may well replace a chandelier. Table lamps – the lower tier is also involved in the game.

 4. Black ceiling



This technique works best in smaller spaces such as a hallway or the bathroom. Black ceiling literally melts in the air, and determine its true height, it becomes impossible. An additional technique is to have a color (in this case black) from the wall to the ceiling, that works too.

 5. Integrated lighting around the perimeter of the ceiling



Want to create the illusion of a lightweight, floating ceiling? Use led backlight. However, actually, the ceiling will be below inches to ten or fifteen.

 6. Low furniture



In a room with low ceilings, the furniture should also be low, proportional to the volume of the room. And it should be a bit. All the excess needs to be put in cabinets that take up all the space from floor to ceiling and look like smooth wall.

 7. High doorways



You need to enlarge doorways, and the room will look more spacious, taller, more solemn. Designers often use this technique in the classical interiors.published
