Interwar houses and apartments have a unique beauty and appear enormous and grand, especially due to the effect produced by a high ceiling. While the illusion of space and airiness in a house with a high ceiling are welcome in any home, it is not so simple to furnish such a place without appearing disproportionate.
This happens because a lot of vertical space remains unused. Here are some tricks presented on mashable that can help us transform apartments or houses with high ceilings into an efficiently used and visually pleasing space.
1. Install bookshelves and storage spaces up to the ceiling. The ones above can be used for objects you rarely use.
2. Install a loft bed. Above the living area or above a passageway, you can install a bed.
3. Mount plants or flowerpot installations on the walls.
4. Give up chandeliers or short candle holders and opt for long ones or complex lamps that fill the space.
5. Mount the television in the wall or even install a projector, if space allows.
6. Install mirrors in key points to give the impression of a larger horizontal space.
7. Paint one wall in a strong color to draw attention away from the ceiling.
8. Extend the headboard of the bed or install decorative panels on the walls.
9. Confidently use giant wall stickers or posters.
10. Create the illusion of gigantic windows by mounting curtains from ceiling to floor.
