Find out if your ceiling feels low or lofty, and simple ways to change how it feels.
How this works
Most homes have 240 to 270 cm ceilings. Under 240 cm feels low, and a big floor area makes any ceiling feel lower. White or pale ceilings, uplighting and vertical lines lift the eye; darker ceilings, hanging pendants and horizontal lines bring it down. We score how your room feels and suggest fixes.
