Think of a painted ceiling as the icing on the cake -- a bedazzling flourish that takes a room from pleasing to downright sensational. In this dining room, a tomato red ceiling caps pale pink walls and white woodwork and becomes a high-energy partner for blue and white textiles. Thoughtfully distributed red accessories link to the room's vibrant color scheme.

White ceilings may be too bright and jarring for rooms meant for relaxing. Introduce calming cadences by painting a bathroom's ceiling a muted sage. The neutral hue visually lowers the ceiling, which cozies up this bathing alcove while playing up its architectural lines.

Monochromatic Magic

laundry room

It's easy to color under-the-eaves spaces where lines between the walls and ceiling blur. Simply paint them the same shade! With no color breaks to distract, even tiny monochromatic laundry rooms will feel larger than their dimensions. Here, soft gray perimeters warm up the utilitarian space while highlighting white finishes and a pair of perky paintings.

Seaworthy Shade

teal ceiling

What better hue for a ceiling than blue? The color sounds a cheerful note, brings blue skies inside, and enhances styles ranging from cottage to classic. On this enclosed porch, azure paint accentuates a beaded-board ceiling and spills downward to fill in above bright-white woodwork. White woodwork, walls, and flooring let the blue ceiling take center stage.

Theatrical Statement

Glossy black ceilings perfectly suit this dramatic room's blend of iconic images, modern furnishings, and fashion-forward textiles. The ebony ceiling carries the darkest hues of herringbone carpeting, plaid chairs, and an animal print bench to the room's upper reaches. White crown molding separates the high-shine ceiling from the textured grass-cloth walls.

Wonderfully Warm

Scheme Variations

blue kitchen cabinets

Choose one color and use it to create levels of interest high and low. In this kitchen, a silvery gray floor and ceiling create a sandwiching effect that handily showcases the blue finish on cabinetry. The gray tones mirror the steely tones of appliances and faucets. The hue deepens to charcoal on granite countertops and a glass-tile backsplash to amplify appeal.

Dropped Ceiling

entry

Use painted ceilings to define different areas of a room. A sage green ceiling lends cozy distinction to this foyer and differentiates it from the entryway. If you want to make ceilings appear lower, opt for paint colors that are notably darker than the wall color. Need your walls to appear taller? Visually heighten ceilings with paint colors much lighter than the walls.
