Painting Ceilings

The ceiling is the surface of an environment that receives less light from the outside (but even if it has small windows) and generally gets used a white paint, or very mild, to maintain clarity in the room. This also makes the highest ceiling in appearance. But this should not always be taken literally and can be experienced with a variety of colors, just like on the walls.

If you choose a color too dark, the tone of the walls should be more clear, to avoid taking too much light into the environment. You with a dark ceiling and light walls create the opposite effect described above, to “lower the ceiling” and does not seem too high, and that in turn seems to stay wider, which is usually used in narrow aisles. In the case of using the same tone for walls and ceilings can be performed as in the last photo on this post, where you lose the connection between the two surfaces together in a “whole” by color. Or instead use frames delimiting walls and ceiling, which besides being a very good decorative touch, highlights local architecture.

It is hardly necessary to speak of colors. Warm colors create a cozy and active, cool colors are cool and quiet. The ceiling is just to give that touch of warmth or coolness, especially with cool colors like blue or blue in warm weather.
