When moving into an apartment or a house, as well as during an upcoming renovation, the ceiling often receives little attention. Yet, due to its height and design, it affects the entire atmosphere of the room. Sometimes small measures are enough to beautify the ceiling. For example, if the ceiling is flat and has no flaws, it is often enough to paint it white. If you want to hide high ceilings and visually reduce the room, it is best to use a darker ceiling paint than wall paint.
When painting the first layer should serve as a primer, diluting the paint color. With the second layer of paint, the ceiling of the room shines in new splendor. However, if the ceiling has unevenness or looks visually unattractive, it is advisable to wallpaper it. This requires preparatory work such as filling to remove cracks and small holes. If necessary, even the old wallpaper must first be removed.
Besides painting and wallpapering, cladding could also be a good alternative to give the ceiling a classy look. Styrofoam boards or panels are particularly suitable for this purpose. If you want to install panels, you should first install a substructure made of roof battens at a distance of 60 to 80 centimeters from the ceiling.
