Any ideas about painting a cathedral ceiling? Everything is white...?

Question

Should I go dramatic against the existing white or another white color?

Answer 1

I have a cathedral ceiling in my house. The best way to enhance it is by adding color. You might consider going with a dark color on the walls and several shades lighter of the same color on the ceiling. It makes for a dramatic affect especially if you have crown mouldings, which can be painted white to stand out. People will love what you have done. Don't be afraid of color.

Answer 2

as a painting contractor i would reccomend a different shade of white, painting the ceilings any other color could be something you would regret, I have done a lot of homes with ceilings other than white , but they are floorplan specific ,and usually the descision to paint theceiling and what color are decided by overpaid designers,so keep it white and you will be better off.

Answer 3

My livingroom has a cathedral ceiling. The walls are khaki and the ceiling is a pale yellow-cream. I describe it as the color of candlelight. :) As soon as we bought this house we painted everything and got rid of any traces of old boring white.

Answer 4

I have seen colors other than white, but they never look good. Go with the white.

Answer 5

you could go with an antique white or country white if you want just a hint different nothing too dramatic. but to be safe if i were you i'd stick with the white
