Ceilings...The Forgotten Wall!!
Ceilings…..The Forgotten Wall!!!
When planning your next painting project please remember the “forgotten wall”, yes the ceiling. Most people tend to overlook the ceiling when painting. Some just automatically paint their ceilings white, a good choice in certain circumstances. Introducing color on your ceiling will give that “WoW” look. Let’s say you want to add a decorator touch to a room, the ceiling is the perfect place. If you are painting your dinning room or living room or even the master bedroom you can make the room more formal or a little quieter by adding color to the ceiling. Adding color to your ceilings, or walls for that matter, will instantly quite the room. The reason for this is that sound reacts differently with light colors versus darker colors. Lighter colors tend to bounce sound frequencies and darker colors tend to absorb sound frequencies. You may ask what color to put on your ceiling? The sky is the limit, but in order not to clash ask your friends or family for input. You can even give us a call. You can also use the trick we professionals use, just go a few shades lighter then your wall color. Another tip is to use this same color on the trim in a semi-gloss, it will look GREAT! One last tip, do not have the paint store tint ceiling paint, it will not cover well and almost always will flash and color match can be a problem. Instead pick a good latex flat paint and have that tinted to your color choice.
Peace & Good Luck!
