Choosing a lighter color for the ceiling than the walls can also make a
room feel more expansive, especially when it mimics the sky like this
den does. We adore the way the sky-blue color ties in with the other
natural elements like the cowhide rug and fireplace full of timber.
Paint can also bring a ceiling lower (so to speak) which is perfect for
making a bedroom feel extra cozy. The warm gray paint here has that
effect because it covers both the ceiling and a bit of the surrounding
walls, tricking your eye into seeing the borders differently.
This homeowner took an often overlooked space, the bathroom, and
turned it into an unexpected jewel box. The bright turquoise paint
contrasts with the white molding perfectly to show off those
architectural details and the stunning claw-foot tub.

Seriously, how elegant is this dining room? Painting a wall metallic
gold adds warmth and a hint of luxury to a space. Plus, the gloss finish
reflects more light and draws attention to any light fixture, like this
chic chandelier.
If you've fallen in love with a color, go all in! This kitchen looks
sophisticated and polished because it's saturated with an
all-encompassing hue. To achieve a similar look, pick paint in a
medium-tone: too dark can seem claustrophobic, and too light won't have
the same daring effect.
We would gladly hang out at this barstool. The high contrast between the
black ceiling paint and bright white walls shows off the stunning
arched ceiling, and references the darker accessories like the stove
burners and antique brass shelf brackets.
PSA: you can ease into this trend by choosing a lighter color that
blends in with your white walls (like this pale gray). The dyed ceiling
brings a playful touch to the room without taking away from its
traditional aesthetic.

The ceiling doesn't have to be the only standout wall in the room, but
if you're going to mix bright paints and patterns (like mint and
watermelon), the key is to keep the rest of the décor simple. Take cues
from this sparsely-filled space, and let the paint do the talking.
Common wisdom tells us that dark colors make a room look smaller, but
that's not true in every case. Black ceilings, like this one, can look
like they're receding into space, making the room feel more cavernous
(but also cozy). Try this look out in rooms with plenty of natural light
so that they're striking but functional.
