Do you want to lower the ceiling in your room, without having to hire a builder?
Then do not hire a builder, and instead hire a painter.

By painting the ceiling of the room you are in dark colors, you’ll automatically see the ceiling seem to be lower.

Conversely, if you want to make the ceiling appear higher, paint it with light or bright colors, more white.

Apparently the trick is very simple right? Yes, in fact it is so.

In general to make the area seem more closely to your wall, paint the wall area with a dark color.

If you have a rectangular shaped room (rectangular) and you want to impress its square-shaped (square), at the end of the wall of small / short you paint with dark colors. As for length your wall paint with bright colors. This will make the size of the room look more symmetrical.

If you want to create a comfortable room, choose darker colors are warm. This will make the atmosphere / impression of the room was warm and dark colors will bring an intimate atmosphere in the room. If you do not believe it, try to coat the walls of your room with colors of dark pink or dark gray, then switch the room lights are dimmed or if necessary, adjust the light intencity at level 20 – 30%. You will prove that what I write is true.

To make a room seem airy and open, white or light colors is the best choice, because the white color will reflect light so that the size of the room will look bigger and wider.

It turned out to change the perception and the size of the room is not too difficult, right?Just simple way with the color game.
