Contrast Color

Applying a contrasting color to the ceiling can dramatically alter your perception of the space. It's like a reflector bouncing light down into the room, and the quality of that light affects the room's character.

Disregard the rule that low ceilings require a light color. Apply a dark base to the ceiling and then use a glaze of the same color over it. The glaze softens the effect, and the sheen reflects enough light to keep the ceiling from overpowering the room.

Here are some terrific colors to consider for a ceiling:

-- Sky blue

-- Pale peach

-- Butter yellow

-- Blush pink

-- Warm tan
