Not Only do the Ceilings in Your Fort Collins Home Need Painting, the Color You Choose Will Transform the Entire Room

When it comes to discovering a good color to paint a room in your house, you should start at the top. Not only do the ceilings in your Fort Collins home need painting, the color you choose will transform the entire room. All too often, ceilings are the unremembered fifth wall in a room. There is little thought given to the fact that ceilings make a big contribution to the overall design of a particular room. Typically, even if we do decide to paint a ceiling, we merely have the painters toss on a coat of ubiquitous white paint. It’s time we look at our ceilings in a whole new light, a different perspective where color, pattern and texture on a ceiling can change the entire look as well as feel of a room. We will further explain.

If you have a large room in your house, step back and take a close look at it. More than likely, you have furnishings as well as accessories on the walls which visually occupies the bottom half of the room. But look up and notice how bare it looks at the top half of the room. This is a great opportunity to do a little experimentation. Offset the heavy bottom half of the room with a ceiling painted in a deep, rich cocoa or perhaps a shade of blue. This will go a long way in adding balance.

Make a small room with a low ceiling feel larger by utilizing a little paint. This can be achieved by painting the ceiling with a color that is relatively close to the colors your have on the walls. For example,  a yellow ceiling over light brown walls allows your eyes to travel smoothly across the entire room.

Now that we have you thinking about painting, it will be on your mind as you stare at your boring white bedroom ceiling as you try to go to sleep tonight. In the morning, you can give us a call.
