• You don't even need to think about a black ceiling if the room does not differ in large parameters. The room will become gloomy, its already modest dimensions will optically decrease. If you really want to decorate the ceiling in black, then you need to take care of increasing the number of mirrors or any other objects with a reflective surface.
• Black top is taboo for rooms with small windows.Such a union can cause a feeling of fear, panic in a person, create an atmosphere of isolation, which cannot be said about large window openings.
