For a long period of time most ceilings have been painted in a stark white color with a popcorn finish. You have already survived a wretched experience when you tried to change the color of your ceiling. The popcorn falls on your head and your hair turns white before you finish painting. Popcorn ceilings are old-fashioned so if you try to sell the house it may discourage the potential buyers. That’s why, unless you are extremely wish to preserve the popcorn, you should make changes and give the preference to a plain ceiling. It will attract the buyers and you will be able to liven up your ceiling with color.

Some people think that it is a crazy idea to have colored ceilings. Rooms with colored ceilings seem smaller, but in most cases they make the room feel closer and more intimate. If the house has a high ceiling, color will create more comfortable feeling rather than an imposing feeling. Also you will be able to create a cozy and friendly atmosphere in your library or bedroom choosing colored ceilings.

With the help of colored ceilings you can soften a sharp contrast. The wall color in most rooms has a sharp conrast with the ceiling color and your room seems uncomfortable and shocking. For instance, if you paint your walls deep green, a bright white ceiling sticks out like a sore thumb. Such ceiling makes the atmosphere shocking rather than cozy. It will look nice if you paint the ceiling a shade of tan or ivory. Such color can help you soften the contrast between the walls and the ceiling and you will be able to create the right feeling of your room.

You shouldn’t choose solid colors if you want to make your ceiling comfortable. For example, you can paint a sky scene on the nursery ceiling in the home. Choose green carpet, symbolic of grass, trees, flowers and animals on each wall, and a beautiful clear sky with just a few clouds on the ceiling. You can create an amazing effect.

Nowadays colored ceilings are more popular than popcorn ceilings. That’s why when you decide to redecorate your room, try to paint not just walls but also create the appropriate look of your ceiling. If you are planning to redo your bedroom you will spend years looking at your ceiling each night when you go to bed. That’s why you should choose the color you most want to look at as you fall asleep. Soothing colors will help you relax and fall asleep faster rather than shocking colors. Colored ceiling can bring you a lot of joy and it is really worth the effort.
