A white ceiling is a classic choice, but it is not the only option.
Painting the ceiling the same shade as the walls visually unifies the space and reduces contrasts, while creating a cosy, enveloping atmosphere. On the other hand, a ceiling painted in a contrasting shade can make a very high room feel visually lower, create an interesting focal point and bring the space together, much like a large rug.
If you are trying this for the first time, consider painting the ceiling in a softer, muted shade so you can get used to the change. The MIX shades are a good option. If your home’s architecture calls for a bold statement, we recommend shades from the VIVID collection for a dramatic effect.
