Although many people focus on wall color, painting your ceilings is a unique way to change the look of a room. There are multiple aspects to consider, including the color of the room, if the ceiling is going to be an accent of another color, and the overall tone you’re going for. Keeping just a few considerations in mind will help you get the most out of your ceiling in no time. 

Consider the Effect You Want to Create With Ceiling Painting

Before looking at paint swatches with a contractor, think about what mood and visual effect you want to set. Pairing a dark wall color with a much lighter shade of the same hue (or vice versa), for example, adds bold contrast while still providing a sense of balance.

You could also pull a dominant color from wall tiles, flooring, or other permanent fixtures to unify the room and create a dramatic quality. If ceilings are low, dark pigments will give the illusion the surface is higher. Deep, dark tones can also make the room appear more expansive.

Call a Painting Contractor for Assistance

Work with a painting contractor to achieve that goal. They will apply bold tones to pull focus to ceilings. A technician can also add a few drops of white to a can of the current wall paint color to envelope the room in a monochromatic scheme. Choosing prints and patterns in similar shades for furniture and decor will bring texture and depth into the room.

A specialist will also take the quality of the ceiling into account when helping choose a finish. A high gloss brightens up a room but might show imperfections in the surface. In this case, they might recommend a semi-gloss or matte solution to achieve the desired effect while hiding any flaws.
