Clever Design Hacks to Decorate the Low Ceilings

The design is all about making space better, liveable and comfortable. Its all about perfecting the flaws. Design helps in making lives better. The place where an individual spends his/ her majority of time has a vital impact on behavior, mood, and habits of that individual. The ceiling is one of the most neglected but an essential element of a space. The ceiling helps in defining the nature of the space. A high ceiling may develop a sense of hugeness, whereas a comparatively low ceiling develops a feeling of littleness, an impression of a bird trapped in a cage. But with a few design interventions, the flaw of the low ceiling height can be transformed into an effective design element.

Here, we have discussed a few design interventions that may help to transform the space in a better way.

Ceiling Designs  - Play With The Colors To Develop An Illusion Of A Higher Ceiling

Shades help in developing an illusion of distance. Play with colors to challenge the space. Try painting the ceiling with a color lighter than the colors used to paint the walls. This helps in creating an illusion. Another way is to add various tones in the wall color, the addition of lighter tone as moving towards the ceiling helps in developing an illusion of height. Another way to make it look better is painting it all in a single solid color, which helps in blurring the definition. Avoid using a darker color on the ceiling as it makes it appear closer and space appear much smaller.

Customise The Doors And Windows

Play with the joinery, lift up the lintel levels closer to the ceiling. This maximizes natural light and adds up a sense of vastness to space. In case it’s difficult to change the lintel levels, try adding fixed architectural glass panels above doors and windows.

Designer Glasses - The Glass Is A Friend

Add different types of glasses as much as you can to make it spacious. Add glass doors, walls and glass partitions. Also, try adding glass at ceiling level as a skylight. More is the light, more spacious it appears. Addition of natural light is a good design intervention to minimize the flaw of a lower ceiling.

Ceiling Light Fixtures - Light Makes It Better

The preferred lighting choice for a room with low height ceiling is spotlights, flush lights, pendant lights, and down hanging lights, which helps in shifting focus away from the ceiling. Heading towards wall lights instead of ceiling lights is also a good option.

Accent Wall - Shift The Focus

Add the color element as it helps in shifting away from the focus from the low height ceiling. Adding up a patterned focus as an accent wall bedroom may help in generation of an object of focus. Adding up vertical patterns also helps in developing an illusion of increased length. Painting a diagonal on one wall from the center also helps in the creation of an illusion of enlarged space.
