What can I do with this ceiling?

The old, quality paneling came from my husband's great aunt's house, which is slated to be destroyed. What can I do with the plain, boring sheetrock ceiling to complement the walls, yet not darken the room any more? Oh, and the door needs something, too. It's the same white as the ceiling.

Decorative Mirrors - will reflect the daylight - placed in the proper spots - You can lighten the paneling by washing it down 1/1 turpentine and linseed oil solution. Urathane coat is up to you. Ceiling go with semi gloss or satin a pale tint of yellow or blue is up to you.

I would avoid blue on the ceiling - it could pull out the orange tones in the wood even more. Unless you were open to white washing the boards - then blue would be a great choice!

To go simple; Warm buttery ceiling (at night it gives the room a warm feeling and plays off the paneling) add some light solid color curtains to the door. To be a bit more difficult; Add flat beams to the ceiling, drop in a copper chandelier and lacey cream colored curtains/satin tie backs on the door. You could put up some copper stained crown molding to play it all up. Just a thought or two.

we had that type of paneling in our house.....my parents owned the house for 31 yrs. then I bought my brother's part out after they passed away. it was good, but had been there for yrs before parents bought house (house built 1920). I used an oil based red floor paint on walls...it gave them an old wooden barn look, really nice, easy to clean, we had large wide white trim & baseboards, so I gave ceiling nice white coat & used mustart, dark greens, ect as accent colors in room. made room look huge. best of luck. paint will not "stick" it leaces like a stain look, try a small part 1st to see if you like it.

Definitely Crown Molding, I too would paint the ceiling, but like most have suggested I would go with a gold tint or gold base. As for the beams, I think that would make the ceiling feel too "low" and I also think they would take away from the paneling. I would also suggest tin ceiling tiles, except you can now get them from Lowes or Home Depot that are a plastic that you can choose the color of or get white and paint to your liking. I would also go with a Copper tone if I were going to go the ceiling tile route. One other suggestion I have, which may sound crazy to some, is to "frame" the paneling with drapery or fabric, on each end of the wall swagged back. This will make it look like the paneling is a special artistic feature instead of "just a wall". Also a roman shade on the door of an ivory with a gold tone to it will help as well.

Given that the wood is "vintage," I think I'd add a fairly narrow, white crown molding. You could also use a 1x3 or 1x4 flat as a "crown." Given the age of the paneling the only thing historically correct might be swirling plaster ceilings. However, they are not really very "in" at the moment and the 60s-70s weren't necessarily the best decades to emulate anyway. IF you want a wow on the ceiling, look for a cylindrical hanging lamp which attaches by a hook and hang it in the corner over an end table or near a reading chair. I'd make the door some sort of focal point and paint it a bright color--the same accent color you use elsewhere in the room. Anything but dull yellow or light orange or red (too much like the wood) would be OK. I can see bright aqua, electric blue, bright lime green. Keep it bright and light, not dark and bold. One thing I did in a bedroom was paint the ceiling a pale blue, just like a porch ceiling. I'd still use the white crown molding. Paint it first, before installing, so you only have to touch up the nail holes and NOT cut the edge between the paneling and the crown mold. Be sure you try your chip taped to the ceiling and examine at all hours of the day. We found that blue is funny and looks very different on ceilings than it does on walls.

It does look like it needs some molding. But the exposed beam look would be nice too. Or both? I would paint the ceiling a more honey tone of white to blend a bit more, this white clashes. I love the old wood paneling, they do not make it like that anymore. .

Tin ceiling would be great but if too costly or impractical - use a ceiling medallion around the light fixture - finish in copper or silver look (coordinate with light fixture). Then maybe the honey-toned white as Marci N suggested. Be sure to check out the paint company websites where you upload your picture and "try out" different colors.

Our old bedroom had this valuable golden knotty pine. (Clean it with Murphy's Oil Soap) and beams. When I taught decorative painting I told my students to think of a favorite nature scene to come up with complimentary colors. I made turquoise gingham curtains to compliment the golden color...it reminded me of the beach and water. You could also paint the ceiling pale blue, sponge on or paint on clouds, then paint screen lathe (thin wood framing "boards") copper and grid them on the ceiling to look like a greenhouse top.

I have painted all my ceilings with many colors using glazes. First a turquoise blue, tone it down with white and glaze, rag on another color, yellows and pinks mixed with white and glaze, rag it on, and finally white with glaze. The glaze is transparant and leaves a satin finish. It ends up looking like a beautiful sky. I don't mix throughly but leave it sort of marbly, it can be done wet on wet or dry. Gives an old world feel to the ceilings, subtle or as dramatic as you like.

I had that same paneling and thought it made the house look very outdated. I put a coat of Kilz on the paneling and then painted it Pine Needle Green. We then added 6 inch baseboards and crown molding. The ceiling was painted AZ white as was the baseboards and molding. An entirely new room. I'm fortunate that my hubby is very good with miter saws, chop saws, and a bunch of other tools White ceilings are very nice, helping to add light. If you feel that you like the old style paneling, add crown molding. It will add depth to the room

Why would anyone paint over such a beautiful wood? Bring out and accentuate the natural beauty of the wood, it's gorgeous! I like Nola H.'s idea of adding faux beams which will bring the eye 'up' which gives the illusion of opening up the space as well as it will balance the heaviness of the wall. Antique white on the ceilings and door would soften and warm the room.

Lowe's carries white pieces of coffered celing type accents that you can paint before you mount them to the celing.

knotty pine is great, it you are re-installing you might want to consider sanding it down and try a litle finish, will brighten it up and not look so out of date.

While I am not big on paneling, some people love wood. I love painted furniture, but I am most reluctant to paint over good wood pieces and cringe when I see this done. I love dark mahogany! It's like I love white cabinets, but I do not want to live with them. So if the paneling is for you, keep it. Pick a light, almost white green with very little yellow to it. Then put about a 2" stirp of flat molding on the ceiling about 1 foot from the edge of the walls. Paint the 1' section and molding white and the center a lighter green.

I love the warmth of wood. This paneling is beautiful. You didn't mention what room this is. That might affect your decision. I considered suggesting painted wallpaper that is embossed to look like tin. I think that type of paper has a name but I'm not sure what it is called. The only problem with that, or a tin ceiling, is that it would make the room real busy. Be sure to look at pics of faux beams. The effect is lovely but it may make the room look like a "club room" and rustic. Is the paneling on all 4 walls or only on one?

Another option would be to wash the darkened knotty pine panels with a 1/2&1/2 solution of lineseed oil and turpentine. (Good ventilation, gloves and lots of rags required.) My sister inlaw did her cabinets years ago and what a difference. Brighten up the room with art deco mirrors - placed to strategically capture and reflect the daylight. The ceiling needs to be done with a semi- gloss or satin. A pale tan or faint yellow tint should do the trick.

I hope you will decide to not do anything to the paneling. It is beautiful and if your home is country, or ranch style, it goes perfectly! This wood is worth a lot of money to refurbishers, you hit a gold mine, please do not destroy it. I, personally do not like the tin ceilings, unless you have high walls, the embossing will make your ceiling look really low and close in the room. A light paint with matching crown molding will enlarge the look of the room and lighten it up as well. Have a good time and remember, there is not much you can not change if you do not like what you have done.

Hey Kyria I use Farrow & Ball colours however they are a British Company but you can view there website and look at the colours on site, find one you love and buy your American equivalent. I personally use French Grey, Light Blue (which isn't ) it's a beautiful soft grey blue with real depth of colour, sift green or a colour called Greige which is a great neutral not yellow or pink and this really lights up a room. I know for a fact that you have similar colours in the USA, these shades I feel would work beautifully with your panelling giving its age. You have a great eye whatever you choose I am certain will be beautiful, good luck with your room.

I saw a great, inexpensive idea for ceilings that I want to try when I get around to redoing my bedroom. They used molding and trim to make a decorative recessed pattern and painted in shades of tan/cream to make it stand out. If you don't want to use nails to hold it up, try the lightweight plastic molding and use a removable product (like for picture hanging) to hold it up. This would be a great project for repurposing trim and molding from rehab properties.
