Although, the modern architectural trends require building low-ceiling houses because the focus has now turned more towards floors, sometimes you might need it to look a bit higher, in case it is too low and gives a congested feeling, especially during the summer season.
It seems daunting to remodel your house for the sake of lifting your ceiling and it also requires you to spend a lot of time, money and effort on accomplishing this remodeling venture. However, by consulting a renowned construction company, you can take of stress from your shoulders because a professional interior designer can make the ceiling look higher in relatively simpler steps.
Here are some simple interior designing tips using which you can make your ceiling look higher.
1.Paint Your Ceiling with a Shade Lighter than the Wall
One easiest and simplest way of making your ceiling look higher is to paint it with a color shade lighter than that of walls, preferably with white or off-white. If you do not want to choose a white color then whatever color you pick, it should be lighter as compared to walls. According to some expert interior designers, the glossy shades of paint also work good to reflect the light, ultimately giving a high look to ceilings. However, this may depend upon the entrance of natural light inside your house because matte paint colors are also considered one way of making ceiling look higher.
2.Add Vertical Stripes and Paneling
A simple technique of making your walls taller and ceiling higher is to add vertical stripes by using vertical wood paneling. Moreover, the stripes also make your house interior look more decent and sleek. You can even use bright accent shades on the walls, which create strips on the walls, resultantly giving them a taller feel.
3.Hanging the Decorative Accessories Higher
This is a creative way of creating a high ceiling-feeling inside your house. Either it is a painting, frame, artwork or any other decorating thing, hang it higher than you normally do. For instance, you can hang it high above the walls and on the doors.
4.Creatively Using the Drapes
Hanging drapes from ceiling to floor in a streamline theme gives taller look to your low-slung rooms or areas. You don't need to use printed or patterned curtains; instead the plane curtains with lighter color shade give an area, a high and seek feel.
5.Avoid Hanging Fans and Lights from the Ceilings
Lighting has a greater impact on the overall look of a space. Hanging long lights and fans from the ceiling will make it look even lower; therefore, you either need to use wall-light or use lights which are fixed inside the ceiling.
