A low ceiling can make the space feel small. However, by applying the right tricks, it is possible to visually distance the ceiling from the floor by playing with paint, lights, colors, etc. Here are some tips to know.
What color to paint a low ceiling?
The color of the paint plays an essential role in the way a room is perceived. So, to gain height in a room where the ceiling seems low, you can play with color and tones. Above all, it is often advisable to paint the ceiling a lighter color than the walls. This creates an effect of depth. Avoid painting the ceiling exactly the same color as your walls. If your ceiling has moldings, paint them the same color as the paint on your walls. Thus, you will gain a few centimeters by pushing back the ceiling.
