What color should you paint your ceiling

If you are painting the walls with a light color tone...paint the ceiling same color, even if you still have a popcorn texture. I have done this in all our rooms and it certainly makes rooms seems larger, so much easier to paint. Wall and ceiling same paint. IMPORTANT ceiling same color paint should be flat or egg shell of wall color...NO SHEEN/SEMI GLOSS/GLOSS on ceiling.

We used a shade of light blue grey called November Sky... not too blue, not too grey and goes with brown tones quite well.

What is your syle, decor, & color of wall? Which room? Size of room?

Any color you want! I love a contrast color on the ceiling. Getting ready to paint guest bedroom ceiling lavender and keeping the walls a soft green.

Hmmm...I tried to answer this previously but maybe I missed a step; forgive me if it's a repeat! I would suggest searching for "ceiling paint" on Pinterest and saving some that you like -- maybe you will find a clear style that appeals to you! I have seen white ceilings, ceilings matched with the wall color, bold-colored ceilings, pattern-painted ceilings, and even gold/silver leaf ceilings...all depends on what appeals to you!

I think it's a personal choice as to the color and sheen you like best. I prefer to use a true bright white WALL paint in a satin finish on my ceilings and satin on my walls. However, on Nashville Flipped, Troy has painted his ceilings and walls in the same color & sheen and the rooms look gorgeous! It gives the illusion of a larger room with high ceilings. Very elegant. Your house, Your rules! Best of luck.

What ever color you would like. Nowadays, any color goes. I prefer white, eggshell or light tan/ beige. The lighter the color, the bigger and brighter a room appears. Grab some color paint swatches from just about anywhere that sells paint and tape them to the ceiling if possible just so you get an idea if you like the look.

Extra White

Most people paint it white. Personally I love pale blue ceiling

Or, you can do darker wall color and do the lightest one on the ceiling. If you have a paint swatch with colors from dark to light, us, any color on that swatch towards the lighter end would be fine.

It really is a matter of personal preference. I know a lot of people who would be uncomfortable not painting a ceiling white. I love usually color on a trey ceiling. Go with what you like

using colors will drawn the room in.So white would be the best option.If not a problem it can be the same as the wall color

White, only white

ceiling white is trade name for flat white used on ceilings,,,

White, unless you prefer that it be the same as the walls.

white

As a painter for 18 years white is always a good choice. A few shades lighter is also nice. If the walls are a pastel blue a light pastel lavender is nice. Sherwin Williams has a paint color "IBIS WHITE" it is white with a hint of pink, makes the ceiling glowing soft. If the ceiling is in perfect condition use a satin or eggshell finish. If any flaws use a flat paint. No glosses.

One of the prettiest ceilings I ever saw was a very pale blue color. It was almost white, but had a slight hint of blue that seemed to open it up and make it look much taller...somewhat like the sky. It definitely gave the room a fresh, airy appearance.

that is really a matter of personal choice. My cathedral ceiling is painted grey and the rest of the house has white ceilings. There are many pictures on the Internet for many colors on ceiling. try googling it.

I have done various shades of white, pale gray and pale blue.

Paint it any color you want, what's nice is sand color ceiling, with peach color walls. Other colors will work also.

Generally most ceilings are painted flat white.. Or a lighter colour than the walls, but usually always flat or eggshell (flat paint hides flaws best). Paint with a shine or sheen, shows imperfections in the surface..

I like mine a shade lighter than the color of the wall. Others like their ceilings white as they feel it makes it easier to read.

If the ceiling is a flat normal ceiling I think it should be white. But if it is not a flat ceiling and is higher like a cathedral ceiling for example, I paint the ceiling the same color as the walls. Incredibly the lighting in the room always makes a differentiation and the room appears more warm and cozy!

Hello, I have pained the ceiling with a color to compliment the wall color and I have also painted it the same color. There really is no right or wrong. What you like is what matters. You are the one that looks at it every day. Here is a picture of a room with a different colored ceiling to give you an idea of what it would look like.

Actually that is a personal choice.

a flat white works well to hide bad spots. A painter told me to stay away from celing paint an sweres by Sherwin williams

Generally people pain them a light color, what it would be depends on your other decor. We had white most the time, but our walls are auburn and gold, so ceiling is off white this time. Lighter colors help the room seem larger and the ceiling higher

There are so many options, it can be hard to decide. I am always happy with a tone on tone look of a lighter color on the ceiling and a shade or two darker on walls. I love painting ceilings a palush sky blue color as it expanding the ceiling height. A matte or eggshell are usually best for flat, lumpy, or bumpy textures. Semigloss (on ceilings) is great in bathroom and kitchens.

The most popular color for ceilings is white, but if you like 'new' things, try Jan's idea. Another option that seems to be coming more popular is stained wood, often stained in more than one color.

I agree

Over the years I have painted most ceiling the lightest shade of the colour of the walls , or off white , I have also painted a 15 ft high ceiling darker than the walls and it look lovely as well , that was a bright room with a skylight

Get a paint roller that has an extension piece to it and you can stand on the floor and quickly paint the whole room. I recommend flat off-white or cream.

I have seen some lovely ceilings with pastel shades of blue, pink or yellow. But my own preference is white or off-white. You can always use different colors in different rooms. Best wishes 😇💞

When you look at paint chips, pick one color near the bottom of the chip for your walls. Then pick a color near the top of the paint chip for the ceiling. A lot of interior designers do this on the Home and Garden channel.

Personally I like the ceiling the same as the room. If you use the same paint it will look a shade off so it appears they are two colors. Sure makes painting easier.

White

Always off-white

I always have gone with white except for the ceiling of a front porch, which I paint light sky blue.

I do just the opposite as Jan, a satin ceiling paint reflects light better and can help brighten a room. Paint the ceiling lighter if you want to make it appear higher.

Here's a good article.... https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/what-colour-do-i-paint-the-ceiling/

If your ceiling are high, you have the option to do some more unusual treatment including metallics, pearl, deeper darker colors, faux painting.

My favorite is to paint clients metallic ceilings.... it adds a special glow to a room, drama and elegance. The new Rustoleum Metallics comes in wonderful colors. https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=paint%20metallic%20ceilingp&rs=typed&term_meta[]=paint%7Ctyped&term_meta[]=metallic%7Ctyped&term_meta[]=ceilingp%7Ctyped

If your the artsy type there are galaxy ceiling treatments, starry nights, clouds etc. and I like the stenciled mandelas around ceiling lights/chandeliers..... https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=paint%20artistic%20ceiling&rs=typed&term_meta[]=paint%7Ctyped&term_meta[]=artistic%7Ctyped&term_meta[]=ceiling%7Ctyped

Since I am the artsy type and love nature, I have painted many cloud ceilings especially the faux dome with clouds.

Most well known paint manufacturers have a "ceiling white" in their line. I always use that.

Ceiling white.

White or light gray. I an no expert , but my ceiling and the walls are white Also. Haven't found anything that doesn't go with white It all comes down to it. Get what you like better

Very light pink is supposed to give people a slight glow, but most people go with "ceiling white," which is very white.

I've been a painter contractor for years and I can definetely say that flat white is the best color for ceiling, period. If you're looking for a good ceiling paint I suggest reading this article. Hope this helps.

You should obviously paint it white.

All the walls and ceilings in my house are white. It is stylish and looks minimalistic. In General, I believe that the most beautiful design is when everything is very minimalist and white because on all this white background, you can give the apartment any style you want and that will reflect your inner world. When I did my own repairs, I did it with my wife. Everything we did was purely our ideas. The only thing that other people have helped us with is the choice of noise-canceling panels for walls and ceilings. We were advised tiles for ceiling.

If you want something beautiful paint your ceilings one or two shades lighter than the walls..
