Choose wallpaper and their pasting

This technique works not only in clothing, but also in the interior. Saving room with wallpaper vertical striped, you can visually «Remove» ceiling. And what will already be strips, the farther he «Will it turn out». But this is not the most important thing – it is important to beat the lines of the interface and the ceiling correctly.

You should not use a wide plinth with a lot of decorative elements – it will cut the walls and the entire effect of strips to zero will reduce.

Better lightly start striped wallpaper on the ceiling itself, completely abandoning the plinth. This reception is no longer one dozen years old, but it always works on «five+». Wherein «steal» The ceiling plane is more than 30 cm lengths are not recommended, and if the area of ​​the room does not exceed 12 m, then this technique is better to refuse.

If the desire to use the plinth is large, experts recommend to acquire the most subtle border and in front of the mounting of it in the color of the walls.

Not necessarily to look for wallpapers with stripes: Any vertical drawing – flowers, animals, geometric shapes with success.

Even a continuous invoice that has splashes vertical orientation will work on the result.

Color solution

The style of the room will only win if you paint the ceiling in gentle pearl or cold white-gray. Blue and green objects also have the property visually giving.  Using these shades in this reception, you can become a high-room owner. The sky drawing on a hot sunny day enjoys extremely popular.

And if the top of the room and the walls are performed in one color – heavenly blue, then due to the blurring of the borders upwards will seem endless. Another simple way to increase the height of the ceiling: it is enough to paint the walls much brighter and then the resulting contrast will work in the right direction.

Mirror on the floor or ceiling

Solving the question of increasing the space room, it is not necessary to do something with the upper part of it: you can focus on the floor covering.

If you choose a glossy tile or any brilliant material, you can achieve an excellent depth effect, which will give the room the required volume. Modern floor covering materials provide ample opportunities to choose.

However, not everyone is solved on such a reception, because the glossy tile or coating with such an effect will incredibly slides, so most often the mirrors are installed on the ceiling. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to make it completely mirror – it is enough to establish inserts with such an effect.

It is possible to completely solve the problem of wide low walls using a mirror strip used instead of a border: a mirror located strictly under the ceiling will not bother the reflection of moving people.

Can be significantly saved if you use polystyrene panels instead of real glass. Besides, they are easier to mount, and they are safer. You can not be afraid that such a design will lower the ceiling even lower if you provide for the second floor with a transparent floor.

The role of furniture, decor and other elements

Moldings are capable of a larger volume. We are talking about special decorative details that have a convex overhead plank. To achieve the desired effect, their color should be the lighter walls and the ceiling, and the ceiling itself should be dark and cold, which will allow him «deeper».

This technique is very often used in country houses, for example, in the attic. In this case, it is impossible to decorate the room with long bulky chandeliers. Maximum – use a flat lighting device, and even better conventional point lights.

You can adjust the height of the room and with furniture. At the same time you need to choose narrow thin showcases, racks and racks. They will «work» By the same principle, like the vertical strip on the wallpaper.

Choosing upholstered furniture, dwell on classic variants of laconic forms, avoiding bulky and heavy items.

Long curtains to the floor, which even lie on it, are also capable of visually increasing the space room. Vertical folds on the curtains will help raise the ceiling, smoothly like vertical blinds.

Do not be afraid of sharp and geometric forms in the interior. On hand «play» Vertical paintings, posters without baguette, vases, long and narrow floor lamps, mirrors, herbaria and other similar interior items. It will not only win look at the backdrop of low walls, but also make the room more stylish and beautiful. Successful and fast repair to you!
