Architecture Tip
Buildings are normally they go vertically high, but due to the height restrictions and people want to get the maximum floor area ratio, that is the maximum permissible built-up area according to the local bylaws, so we don't give height very much to floor to floor. As a result, at times the ceiling tends to be a little too low. For that, a trick is that whatever ceiling you paint, do not use a dark color for the ceiling. Ideally, paint it white. If you don't want white, then any color of the lightest possible shade. That way, visually, you'll get the ceiling a little high.
