1  How to illuminate low roof spaces?

We would all like to live in our dream house, which is surely formed by wide spaces and very high ceilings. Like everything in life, one thing is the theory and another practice. In most "normal" homes, roofs have a height of between 2.5 - 3 meters. There are some cases where ceilings are lower than standard causing an added problem when choosing the most appropriate lighting.

2 Clear colors to create optical effects

A theme of dispute between couples that acquire their first house is the color of the painting of their walls. Dark colors are usually prettier and aesthetic, but if you have a very low home home, they are not the best option for you. The solution is to choose very light colors so that they create an optical illusion and make our stays broader than they really are.

3 Proper use of lighting

Lighting is an aspect that is normally overlooked and is not valued enough. In this case we are trying, it can help us give greater breadth. For this we will have to use LED appliques, both of ceiling and wall, in which the lighting is projected to the ceiling.

4 The opening angle, that great stranger

Many times we overlook the technical parameters of the bulbs that we choose being a fairly large error and more in this case. If our home has the bad luck of having a lower than normal roof, we will always have to keep in mind in our heads gain amplitude as it is. For this we will have to choose LED bulbs That they have opening angles as wide as possible so that the light is less focused and helps us create that sense of amplitude that we always have as target.

5 Mirrors and vertical elements

Decoration experts recommend placing vertical elements such as mirrors (always very high and narrow) so that the sensation is of greater amplitude than when we did not have them.

6 Low houses, equally low furniture

It seems an obvious thing but we almost never fall into this. The furniture provides a visual burden on each of the rooms of our home. If we recharge from furniture a stay we will see how we perceive that the vital space is reduced and we have no room for us. If our house is one that has a short roof, we have to have two clear premises that must be followed by rajataba: low furniture and fair furniture. If we respect these two conditions we will create the long -awaited feeling of amplitude. As we have seen, there are a multitude of decoration options to solve a problem that a priori seemed difficult to solve. Mixing all these tips, we will transform a disadvantage (which is to have a low roof) into a simple trifle.
