Ceiling Color: The Small Change That Makes a Big Difference

We don’t give it much thought.

When you visit a home for the first time, you probably notice the rich wood
flooring and the lush beige carpets. You may notice the painted cabinetry
or the wall decorations.

But how often do you notice the color of the ceiling?

To be fair, most ceilings are a neutral white or grey, so there’s not much
to notice, but have you ever considered how ceiling color can make a
difference in a room? As you might have guessed, there’s a big difference
between

white and black ceilings

, but there are other colors that you can choose as well.

Why Ceiling Color is Important to Your Home

If you think about it, the ceiling is the largest unobstructed space in the
entire room. The floor is covered with furniture and divided into hard and
soft surfaces. The walls are covered in paintings and artwork, as well as
cabinets, bookshelves, and dressers. The ceiling, on the other hand,
usually has a few small lighting fixtures, a ceiling fan, maybe a
chandelier; the space that is actually covered by these fixtures is
minimal. This makes selecting the right ceiling color essential, and it
doesn’t always have to be white or beige.

Light Tones on the Ceiling

Light colors on the ceiling, such as faded
whites and
neutral grays, serve many purposes, but for the most part, they give the
room a bright, spacious appearance. White and other bright colors visually
expand the room, creating the appearance of an airy, open area.

Dark Colors on the Ceiling

Black
and other dark tones have the opposite effect. They minimize light and
reduce the appearance of size in a room. This can be useful if you have a
particularly tall ceiling; dark colors are also popular in home theaters
and entertainment areas.

Blues

Blue, especially a light blue, will make a room feel bigger and airier,
while providing a clean, sky-like appearance. Blue ceiling tiles are a
popular choice for adding a sense of relaxation and comfort.

Red

Many designers feel that red should not be used as the main color of a
room, so if you choose a red ceiling, there’s a good chance you’ll have the
only one in town! Red enhances the energy in a room, making it ideal for
living rooms but unfit for bedrooms.

Yellow

Bringing a sense of joy and brightness, yellow is popular for kitchens,
bathrooms, and living rooms. A yellow ceiling would brighten up any room,
adding a splash of energy while avoiding the intensity of red.

Green

Combining the calming effect of blue and the cheerfulness of yellow, green
is largely considered a versatile color that can be added to any room in
the house. A green ceiling would cool down the room and can be a main color
for enhancing a home.
