A bit of targeted redecorating can help you step forward with a fresh new start. We chose Benjamin Moore Healing Aloe for this room. And you gotta love this fun art that just makes you smile when you see it. The bedroom actually looks larger — in large part due to the lighter paint color than extends up and over the room. In this situation, I chose to paint the ceiling the same as the wall color. Notice there is no crown molding at the intersection between the ceiling and wall more on this topic here.
Think a dark color will make your decorative items disappear? See for yourself how these colors pop against it:. Even the breakfast area got a bit of a clean-up. Dated valances and light fixture were removed, and the new wall color and orb fixture are the beginning of a new look for this area.
New curtains will be selected eventually, but sometimes we have to take a step at a time! Thank you so much!! This technique works especially well for light, neutral colors -- soft beige, off-white and light gray. Continuous color tends to envelope a room, providing a neutral background for colorful contrasts.
For example, painting the walls and ceiling in soft beige creates a striking contrast against dark, hardwood flooring, furniture and window treatments. Dark ceiling and wall colors can also work well in a room that's filled with abundant natural light. Avoid dark ceiling and wall colors in a room lacking natural light; it can appear dismal and dreary. Consider making the ceiling a different color than the walls in a room that lacks a distinct focal point.
Paint the ceiling a color to enhance the existing furnishings and decorating style. For example, a ceiling painted mint green or powder blue creates a charming focal point in a cottage-style room with creamy-white walls and white, weathered furniture. Painting a pattern -- checkerboard, stripes, mosaic -- on the ceiling directs your eyes upward toward a visually interesting fifth wall.
Create a one-of-a-kind ceiling focal point with a hand-painted mural. Adhering wallpaper or metal ceiling tiles to a ceiling provides textural color. If you have very high ceilings, you may also want to paint them the same color as the walls.
This will bring tall or highly vaulted ceilings back down to create a more cohesive, cozier look. The color can be somewhat lighter and will still give the room a consistent look. Many times, ceilings are painted a flat white color to give the room dimension. This also makes the ceiling look like it is in the background. Flat white is the most recommended ceiling shade and can be paired with the same color on the trim. This ties the entire room together. However, you may opt for a higher sheen on your trim to protect baseboards that tend to get scuffed and beaten up quickly.
However, I typically recommend painting ceilings white or a lighter shade of the wall color. This offers subtle contrast and clean lines. If you love a relaxed feel in your home, consider painting your ceilings and walls the same color in specific rooms such as the master bedroom. This will create a restful and calm environment, where your eye moves freely throughout the room.
In main living areas, where there can be taller ceilings and too many angles, painting ceiling and walls one color can effortlessly pull a room together.
