Down Ceiling Interior Design, Design Dilemma: Dealing With Low Ceilings

Down Ceiling Interior Design, Got low ceilings? After all, there are few design problems as confounding as how to make a room feel bright, spacious and inviting when ceilings are low and oppressive.

White and bright ceilings help encourage the illusion of higher ceilings, since they draw your eye upward. Another decorating trick: paint the first two or three inches of ceiling surrounding the walls the same color as the walls to give the illusion of taller walls. Darker floors, in combination with a light ceiling will also make ceilings appear higher.

Recessed lights and pendant lamps make low ceilings feel lower and should be avoided.
