Low ceilings can sometimes actually have a negative impact.

They create a feeling of crampedness, making an already small room even smaller.

But there are simple ways that will help visually “raise” low ceilings.

Light shades

A winning solution for the interior of such a space.

Light shades are primarily chosen for walls and the ceiling itself, as they reflect more light.

Curtains

If you attach the curtain rods directly under the ceiling and hang the curtains from it to the floor, this will give the space an additional vertical dimension.

Vertical elements in general play a significant role in the context of visually “lifting” the ceiling.

Furniture

The emphasis should be on low models. This will allow you to gain more space between the ceiling and the furniture.

Lighting

In this case, you should refrain from large chandeliers, which will lead to the opposite effect.

What you need here are built-in lamps or floor lamps that will direct the light upward.

Mirrors

A time-tested method is to use mirrors or mirror surfaces.

They should be placed vertically and, for maximum effect, cover the entire height of the wall.
