We’ve seen how bright white walls effectively maximize a room with low ceilings, but on the other hand, so does ornate trim and warm accent colors. Wood-paneled ceilings are notorious for making a room feel larger, and so it is fitting that a ceiling painted black with exposed beams would do the same. It may feel gutsy to take an 8-foot ceiling and attach beams to the bottom because it would further inhibit the space above your head, but it can do the opposite, creating the façade of a room with taller white walls.
Low ceilings are a challenge, as it’s not a simple process to raise ceiling heights without significant work and cost. These simple tricks are much more budget-friendly and can help you create a sense of spaciousness that your home may lack. Give them a try and see how simple changes can make a world of difference!
