Should I Always Paint My Ceilings White?
June 26, 2020
- If you have a high ceiling and want to bring it down a bit, you can get away with painting the ceiling a darker color since it will draw attention to the ceiling and make it appear lower. But you don’t want to paint a low ceiling a dark color because it will make the room seem small and confined.
- For instance, in a dining or living room you can create elegance by painting the ceiling a lighter color that compliments the wall finish; but in a bed-room you can get away with doing a more wild and unique ceiling that livens up that room.
- If your ceiling has mouldings or other architectural features, such as a coffered or tray design, you can apply a nice accent color on the moulding or on the design rather than blankly painting the whole ceiling one color.
- Consider adding crown moulding if it’s not already there. Not only does it always add a tasteful touch, but if your ceilings are high, then the moulding will bring the ceiling down by catching your eye’s attention. When you have crown moulding, you can most easily add class to a room by painting the moulding a nice accent color. This technique looks especially great when you paint the moulding a few shades darker than the color of the walls.
- You can also paint the ceiling a lighter shade of the wall color. This strategy looks best when you follow it through the whole house so that each ceiling color is a lighter shade of each specific wall color.
