Color on the Ceiling...Oh my!

Have you ever noticed the difference between a white ceiling vs. a painted-color ceiling?  And no...I don't mean an over the top Versailles-type sky painted ceiling.  I mean COLOR; whether it be neutral, wall-matching, or totally bright.

I am a 100% advocate of painting the ceiling and here's why...

It's so FUN!  What a fantastic way to add a pop of color without purchasing a hot pink love seat...or something you will regret a few months later.





It makes the moulding pop!  I could write numerous posts on crown/decorative moulding (probably will) and how fabulous it is.  Look how even the most calming colors can make the moulding really stand out..








Phew :::deep breathe:::  Here is a shot from my work in progress kitchen/dining room.   I painted the ceiling a shade lighter than the slate gray walls to really accentuate the moulding we picked out.  Just about every room in my home has some variation of a color-painted ceiling.  Finished room photos to follow shortly...






Wall paint color:  Charcoal from Restoration Hardware

Ceiling paint color: Gravel from Restoration Hardware





In the meantime, here is a shot of the "before" to help demonstrate how dramatic the painted ceiling can be...


And finally, just to show that this site is truly dedicated to discourse....here are some examples of monotone ceiling, moulding, walls....which when done correctly, can also be stunning.




So let's hear it... which are you a fan of?

    I do not create a bunch of responses, however I looked at a great
    deal of responses on this page "Color on the Ceiling...Oh my!".
    I actually do have a few questions for you if you do not mind.
    Could it be only me or does it appear like some of these remarks
    look like they are coming from brain dead folks?
    :-P And, if you are writing at other online sites, I would like to keep
    up with anything new you have to post. Would you post a list of the complete urls of all your social community sites like
    your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
