Why You Should Consider Using A Light Paint On Your Ceilings
By SAKSHI KHAITAN
A space’s proportions can be improved by painting the ceiling in shades lighter than the wall colors. It gives the impression of a spacious room by making the ceiling look higher.
Lightly tinted ceilings contrast beautifully with the other walls and can also help make rooms look brighter, as they are good light reflectors.
Moreover, light ceilings serve as a neutral backdrop for your home décor, making it easier to showcase your preferences and personality quirks.
To determine which shade to use, take visual cues from the room's furniture, decoration, and artwork. Another method is to create a low contrast with your wall colors.
However, if you fear the combination will lead to color disharmony, you can reduce the wall paint's shade by 20% by mixing in white paint and using it to paint your ceilings.
