KNOW-HOW

"Color" has long been regarded as one of the most potent tools in the art of interior design and house decoration, capable of transforming a room into an immersive environment. Color is one of the most effective methods to improve a space that has many flaws. Here are some typical problems that you can solve by using color creatively on both the walls and the ceiling.

Problem 1: the ceiling is too low.
Solution: Low ceilings can make a place feel claustrophobic. To assist with this issue, paint the ceiling a lighter color than the walls. This will almost definitely give the impression of height. Another excellent trick is to paint vertical stripes on the wall or to use striped wallpaper.
