The ceiling can be done visually higher using simple moves in the design. We tell about those who cope with the task of immaculately.
1 vertical strip
Interior Design: Home Deco by Judith Farran
The good effect of stretching space gives an ornament in the form of a vertical strip on the walls. The colors are better to choose not very contrast, and the strips are wide: so that the eye is not tired. Then striped walls will fulfill their mission - the ceiling will be higher.
If you are breaking enough, know: the bright color of the bands will further distract attention from a small ceiling height. He "pulls the blanket" on himself and solves the task for the removal of the ceiling from the floor. In this case, it is better to highlight only one wall - so as not to ripper in the eyes.
2 Long curtains

Textiles should hang out free folds, it is desirable for the entire width of the window wall - so it gives the effect similar to the vertical strip. Do not be smaller, take a big piece of the canvas. The main secret - the curtains must touch the floor, and even better - lying on it a light fold.
3 glare floor

You can divert attention from the ceiling using glare on the floor: the shine of the lacquer coating on the wooden floor will add the depths of the interior. For these purposes, the tree breed is better suitable without explicit pattern. Even better if the floor is dark. With white walls and ceiling, a dark tree will definitely take attention to itself.
4 directional lighting

Organize lighting so that the light is directed not from the ceiling, but on the ceiling: this task will be helped to solve local scaves or landslides. This technique will create not only the feeling of the "steaming" ceiling, but also a cozy and comfortable dissipated light.
The second option is solid, but delicate backlight around the ceiling perimeter, hidden behind the cornice and directed upwards. But the vertically hanging chandelier, as a rule, takes the volume in a small room.
5 Vertical Pictures

Large, vertically oriented paintings, photos or posters will add the heights of the room. Little options are suitable, if you arrange them on the shelves under the ceiling or vertically in a row. Shelves are better to raise one over another or ladder. The main inconvenience here is to wipe the dust at the very top.
6 Wide plinth
Interior Design: Boston Green Building
This decorative element of the interior has not yet failed. If you do not know what color to choose a plinth, - choose white, do not make mistakes. At the same time, he will add the style of the room and the height of the ceiling. Equally good, this technique works with dark and light wallpaper.

The greatest amount of delusions exists about the dark ceiling. It is believed that he creates an oppressive mood, attracts excessive attention, visually lowers height. In fact, using a dark color, you reach the opposite result - the ceiling in the room dissolves. This is because the light falling on it is absorbed, the boundaries stop reading, which adds a feeling of volume and air.
