Sure since it is a light color, but if you sell - most people prefer a white ceiling and ceiling paint is usually semi-gloss.
sure ! Why not...it will look great !
Only if you want to! There are no rules about this---- white ceilings are the traditional way to paint, but I like extending the wall color to the ceiling for two reasons--- first, it is easier to do the job since you don't have to tape anything off. Second, it keeps the color flowing throughout the room so there is no break.
Yes, go for it! Lots of light does matter and as long as you choose a light enough shade, I think it would look wonderful. I know someone that added glitter to the ceiling when doing this, not a lot, just enough to have a slight twinkle effect. I absolutely love it. Since it is a small room, I do not think people will balk about it if you decide to sell. Give them a $100 credit, let them repaint the ceiling if they do not like it.
Why not!
NO! it will make it look smaller
Go for it! It looks elegant.
I like to paint all my ceilings the same color as the walls, first off I cannot afford all colors of paint and I'm a light colored girl, meaning I don't go for very dark walls, IE red/blue, second off except in the bath room very light blue walls and white ceiling...Its your house paint how you want to...
