Tips to make the ceiling of the house look higher

Low ceilings do have many drawbacks. In addition to making the air in the room hotter, the room also feels narrower.

Reported by Rumah.com, to make a room feel taller and airier, there are nine tricks you can do at home:

1. Paint the ceiling white
The white color on the ceiling reflects light, creating a high and spacious effect.

2. Brighter colors
White is not always the ideal color for every room. Don't always wear white if you can choose another color. Choose cool colors, especially pastels. The most important thing is that the color of the ceiling chosen should be lighter than the color of the walls.

3. Use vertical lines
Making the ceiling feel higher can be done with vertical stripes on the walls—either by painting the walls or applying striped wallpaper.

4. Avoid accessories on the ceiling
Low ceilings should be made plain. Using lots of accessories—like fans or lights—will make the ceiling feel closer.

5. Lighting
We recommend that the lighting of the room is placed on the wall, not on the ceiling. Avoid using spotlights, because the light distribution is uneven and makes the ceiling appear lower.

6. Long curtains
Hang long curtains as high as possible, from ceiling to floor if possible. This will create a high effect on the wall.

7. Hang the painting higher
This is a trick of the eye that can give the impression of a higher wall. It's a good idea to hang a picture frame or painting higher than the eye's horizontal view.

8. Use a big mirror
Cover most walls with a large mirror. In addition to making the room feel wider, the mirror effect will make the ceiling appear higher.

9. Paint the walls with color gradations
Walls can be painted with a "faux finish" technique. Make the bottom of the wall darker than the top. This color gradation will create a wider visual effect.
