Thirdly, refuse any ceiling designs.

But such strips should not be too dark or wide, otherwise the room will seem very narrow and close. Also you remember that color of walls has to be by all means more dark, than color of ceiling. If wall-paper in strip is not pleasant to you, choose monophonic or with the extended drawing. And it is better to refuse small motley patterns. Also contrast borders in upper part are inadmissible.
