CEILINGS
Very little thought tends to be given to the colour of the humble ceiling, but the choice made will have a huge effect on the overall feel of a room. Consider the ceiling to be a fifth wall and give it due consideration.
Although ceilings are so often painted in some ubiquitous colourless paint, there is no rule to say that they have to be white; in the past few years, the fashion for painting ceilings the same colour as walls has exploded with the realization that most people don’t want the size and shape of their room to be defined by the ceiling.
Your ceiling colour can make a room look lighter or darker as well as change the perceived height of the ceiling. And don’t forget that Full Gloss on the ceiling has an amazing effect on a room, as does wallpaper – if you are feeling very brave.
