Low room design

Of course, the task is not an easy one - the same small rooms are ubiquitous, which cannot be said about low ceilings. Therefore, not every designer will be able to adequately work with such a problem. Especially if the designer mainly works with loft interiors - high ceilings are just a characteristic feature there. But the problem cannot be called unsolvable. And even without a designer, you can easily equip a home with low ceilings. The main thing in this business is to understand what can and cannot be done. And this article will help you. In this article, we will tell you what you should not do in the interior of rooms with low ceilings. Keeping these nuances in mind, you can even independently make your future interior much more attractive and comfortable.

Bright and dark colors

A bright or dark ceiling visually looks lower than it really is. This is perfectly acceptable if you have high ceilings, but in the case when you have a low room, it is better to choose something more appropriate. But there are exceptions - black. The black ceiling, on the contrary, visually increases the distance to it. Another tricky move - walls and ceiling of the same color. Here, too, you should not use dark or bright colors, as they can greatly harm the room. But if you use pastel colors, then you can significantly increase the distance to the ceiling. Only visually, of course, but that's enough. This option would look great in a bedroom where soft colors are in high demand.

Horizontal lines

Everyone knows the common truth - vertical lines lengthen, but narrow, and horizontal lines expand, but make them lower. So for a low room, you should not use horizontal lines - they will only visually reduce the height of the room even more. Instead, you should choose horizontal lines in the interior - they do exactly the opposite thing, which is what is needed in the case of low ceilings. In addition, in the same kitchen, vertical lines will look appropriate and even stylish, so do not neglect this trick. Furniture also needs to be selected in such a way that it seems to stretch upwards.

Stucco work

Stucco takes precious centimeters from the ceiling. And given that it is most often rounded, ornate and textured, then visually it will take a lot. So try to avoid it in the case of low ceilings. There are of course exceptions - coffered ceilings. They also take away centimeters, but due to their specific shape they will visually raise the ceiling. Yes, and in the living room they will look just fine, since the caissons themselves are very aesthetic. But here, too, it is necessary to individually evaluate whether your ceiling can sacrifice these centimeters or is it better to do with a simple painting.

Massive chandeliers

Massive hanging chandeliers were obviously not made for low ceilings. Firstly, they visually shorten the height of the room, as they occupy the air space under the ceiling. And secondly, you are guaranteed to touch such a chandelier with your head, since the height of the stream does not allow it to hang high enough so that you do not get it. Therefore, it is better to give preference to compact shades, which are mounted tightly under the ceiling. By the way, these types of ceiling lights are just as appropriate for a children’s room, as there is less chance that children will touch such a chandelier.

Massive furniture

Large, squat objects visually compress the space, and this works both in breadth and in height. Therefore, for low rooms you should not choose such furniture. Furniture with simple, clear lines, transparent elements will look much more appropriate. For example, a glass bookshelf. Sofas should be chosen on high legs, the same applies to chairs. Also, it is better to choose furniture made of light wood. Metal, glass and mirrored surfaces are great solutions for a low room, as they visually add space. For example, a mirrored kitchen apron can be not only an interesting interior solution, but also a trick that will visually add a couple of extra centimeters to your room.
