Wooden furniture will be a nice addition. An elegant leather sofa would also be appropriate. Chocolate curtains will help complete this stylish design.

In a living room
Do you want to decorate your room in a minimalist style? It might make sense to pay attention to the gray glossy ceiling. A beautiful play of light and glare will add life and volume to the room. Choose an elegant flat chandelier with glass shades - it will fit perfectly into the style of the room. Additional light can be provided by spotlights around the perimeter of the room.
Helpful advice: If you want to visually expand the room, choose skirting boards that match
lighter. If you are planning to make it narrower, it is better to take them a little darker than the main coating.
The combination of gray and white also looks good - a classic technique that does not lose its relevance. Here you can play with different textures - a glossy steel insert surrounded by a matte boiling white canvas looks very impressive, especially if you complement it with beautiful golden lamps with glass decor.
Don’t be afraid to use colored lighting: blue LED strips will provide the effect of a floating ceiling and add depth of color to the gray coating. This technique looks good in both small and large rooms - the main thing is to choose the right shade and intensity of hidden lighting.
