Not all houses are made up of double height ceilings and large windows allowing generous streams of natural light to pass through. It sometimes seems to us that there is an idea that a decoration or design project interior can only succeed if the houses are equipped with these and other characteristics, but, as we know, there are houses of all styles and with architectural details. Which, although challenging, are manageable? In fact, architectural specificity can be seen, in many cases, as opportunities and not as a handicap.

Today, we focus on a characteristic that crosses many houses: low ceilings. Are they a seven-headed bug? We have no doubt that, at times, they may seem, but today we bring you some suggestions to make the low height of your ceilings work for you.

Proportions are everything. If the ceilings in your apartment are low, choose furniture that is low for all rooms. In this way, you will be able to create the visual illusion that the ceilings are higher. By furniture, we understand, fundamentally, the pieces that are usually bulky and heavy like the sofa and the beds. Small pieces are not a problem at the outset. In addition to these furnishings benefiting spaces with low ceilings, they are also extremely modern and convey a huge sense of relaxation and comfort that brings us, to some extent, houses where all pieces of furniture are low. It is worth remembering that, for example, if you choose a low sofa, the coffee table must not exceed the height of the seat, otherwise the set will not be harmonious.

Focus on built-in lights

Did you fall in love with a long-shaped ceiling lamp or a sumptuous chandelier? If you live in an apartment with low ceilings, you will have to favor other choices. One of the best options for apartments with low ceilings is the LED spots embedded in the ceiling. The LED spots are compact and discreet, but they efficiently fulfill the function of homogeneously illuminating a space. In addition, they are environmentally friendly and adapt to areas of different styles.

Don't be afraid to use color

The design rules tell us that white makes a space bigger, but if that space doesn't have a lot of natural light, it won't happen. Privileging more cozy and warm tones is, in many cases, preferable in a small area, and this idea also applies to spaces with low ceilings. The living room we see above is proof of that. The walls were painted in navy blue and the ceiling was left in white - which was thus highlighted - thus creating a comfortable and elegant cocoon.

Divert attention to another point

When you enter this living room, your gaze is immediately directed to the rustic stone wall that serves as a backdrop for the suspended television panel. If you want to divert attention from the fact that the ceilings in your apartment are low, create a focal point in the space. The stone wall is an option, but you can use any other material, such as wood and  brick  or use a wallpaper. Basically, it is about creating a distraction in the environment.

Create floor-to-ceiling storage spaces

If the ceilings of your apartment are low, then you should optimize the storage spaces as much as possible, otherwise they will be scarce. Our suggestion is to invest in cabinets that extend from the floor to the ceiling. This way, in addition to optimizing the space, it still lends it vertical, making it look taller than it really is.

And why not a monochromatic environment?

If the space benefits from good natural light and is large, you can take a monochromatic approach. The use of the same color on the walls and ceiling will generate a sense of continuity that contradicts visual breaks. The color chosen does not necessarily have to be white or another neutral tone.

In this image, it is also worth highlighting the detail of the curtain with built-in frieze. The curtains suspended on a rod placed lower end up cutting such verticality, which does not favor apartments with low ceilings.
