While white ceilings are classic, choosing an unexpected colour for your ceiling can add personality and architectural interest to your space. A beautifully painted ceiling can highlight details like crown mouldings or vaulted ceilings, transforming the entire room. White and off-white ceilings are always fresh and clean, making a room feel larger and more open.
For a cozy, intimate feeling, darker hues like navy blue or charcoal look striking, especially in rooms with high ceilings. For a more dramatic look, choose a ceiling colour that’s a few shades darker than your walls. Drench the space with colour to create an enveloping feel while enhancing its overall character.
CAE: Frequently Asked Questions
Several paints are formulated particularly for ceilings. Waterborne Ceiling Paint has an ultra-flat finish and is available in most Benjamin Moore colours. However, if you prefer a white ceiling, Insl-X® Colour-Changing Ceiling Paint is a great choice. This unique paint goes on as a light pink to help you identify missed spots and then dries to a white finish with a flat sheen.
When painting ceilings, a flat finish is the best choice. Flat paint refers to a finish that does not reflect light, resulting in no sheen. Flat finishes are ideal for ceilings and other low-traffic areas as they are more forgiving of imperfections and provide excellent coverage for a smooth, uniform surface.
Whether you paint your ceiling a colour that’s darker or lighter than the surrounding walls is a design choice. Many like the look of a clean white paint colour on the ceiling. Some prefer to use the same colour on the walls and ceiling for a cohesive feel. For a dramatic style, opt for a darker or more saturated hue on the ceiling for a bold pop.
When painting a ceiling, it is recommended that you “cut in” along the perimeter before filling the centre with paint. This process requires using a paintbrush to apply paint along the ceiling line, in corners, around windows, and along moulding. After you do this, use a roller on the rest of the ceiling.
