The owners of apartments with high ceilings have an ambiguous attitude towards their home. On the one hand, they welcome a space that allows them to be creative and apply their desired interior design. On the other hand, high ceilings are a problem, since it is important not to make a mistake with the choice of furniture and material for final finishing. In this case, it is necessary to choose the right lighting fixtures, colors, accessories, and decor. All this needs to be taken into account and put into practice in order to visually maintain pleasant proportions in the rooms and provide yourself with comfort.

Strengths of high ceilings
High ceilings are an advantage in themselves, as they create the impression of a room being doubled in size. This is partly true if the advantages and capabilities of such a room are taken into account.
The advantages of tall apartments include:
- Penetration of light. Due to high ceilings, window and door openings are of considerable length. This means that during the day more light will penetrate into the house and you can save on electricity. Therefore, additional lighting will not be needed.
- Airspace effect. Regardless of the size of the rooms, high ceilings create the effect of free space. Even a small room will look more spacious.
- Free layout. High rooms allow you to apply any layout to them due to the open space. For example, a table in the kitchen does not have to be installed near the window. It can be placed anywhere in the room, since the level of daylight is quite high due to the large windows.

A stretch ceiling is a structure made of a single piece of fabric, which is attached using a metal or plastic profile along the perimeter of the ceiling. Types of coating materials:
- PVC film;
- synthetic textiles.

The texture of the material allows you to divide the ceilings into the following types:
- Glossy. The mirror surface helps to lengthen the room, making it visually more spacious and bright. Glossy material will reflect pipes and cornices, which does not look very nice. You can install a plasterboard structure around the perimeter of the room, which will prevent the appearance of an unnecessary effect.

Large interior items
The design of apartments with high ceilings involves placing huge pieces of furniture, mirrors, paintings, and sconces. They will not change the overall appearance of the space due to their dimensions. A high-rise kitchen is suitable not only for floor furniture, but also for hanging cabinets that reach the ceiling level. This way you can wisely use the empty wall area, combined with free space in other areas.

Choosing catchy accents
Textiles in window decoration will help give a tall room more effect. Here it is worth using long tulle with ruffles in several layers. A good solution would be to choose a forged cornice. To prevent the living room from seeming too elevated, emphasis should be placed on lighting fixtures. Here you need to choose a large chandelier in combination with less massive pendants on long cords. Moreover, different levels of room lighting are important. This means that the chandelier and other lighting fixtures should hang in different lengths. This way the room will be more evenly and efficiently illuminated in complete darkness outside the window. In addition, this solution is quite interesting and thoughtful in terms of design.

Which style should you choose?
It is important to choose the right ceiling finishing style. It should match the design of the living room. Essentially, the key areas of design are:
- Modern design;
- Classic design;
- Ethnic design.
Modern style involves the use of the latest technologies and their capabilities, a matte or glossy ceiling surface, clever compositional lighting, including a large central lamp and additional lighting. Often LED spotlights or linear type lamps are placed along straight or curly lines.
The second group includes classical, neoclassical, English, Italian styles. In this case, the presence of stucco or its imitation is mandatory. Depending on the height, ceilings can be multi-level or simple.
Ethnic design combines different techniques. Particular attention is paid to the number of accessories and pieces of furniture. For example, in a large living room with a dining area, a multi-level ceiling will look harmonious, but the room should not be cluttered with small details. In a two-level living room, you can make a multi-level design with many LEDs that locally illuminate all areas of the room.
Variety of ceiling design options
High rooms allow the use of many original options for ceiling cladding and its decorative design. In this case, you should visually lower the ceiling to get a sense of proportionality in the room. You can visually lower the ceiling if you use contrasting paint on it. However, it is necessary to take into account the color scheme of the flooring that matches the ceiling. In addition, you can use decorative beams that create the effect of an attic space. A good solution would be to choose stucco as an elegant addition to the ceiling.
Free choice of colors
Any range of shades is suitable for apartments with high ceilings. Here it is important to focus on the style direction of the interior and select the appropriate tones. When choosing colors in high rooms, you should not use many light shades. This will create the feeling of an assembly hall, a cold and not very comfortable room. It is better to give preference to natural, muted colors that are in harmony with multi-level lighting, the general color palette of curtains, curtains, walls, and furniture.
