When people think about painting a home, they’ll think about the interior walls, the exterior walls, and some detail work. They often miss out on one place that can easily transform a room: the ceiling! There are plenty of benefits that come when you paint your ceiling. Not only does it take the look of your home to the next level, but they also make a room seem larger, hide imperfections, and add character. In this article, our experts will go dive into these three most popular reasons to paint your ceilings and where your next step is to getting started.

Makes A Room Seem Larger

You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars and weeks of work to make a room bigger. Instead, you can make a room seem bigger with a coat of paint. The best way to create this effect is by using two different colors with the lighter one up top. For example, a light grey ceiling with dark gray walls will draw the eyes upward and ultimately make the room feel taller. On the contrary, if you are looking to make a room feel smaller, you’d do the opposite.

When There is Damage or Fading

If your ceiling has sustained any damage or if the paint up there is fading, it is probably time for a fresh coat of paint. Make sure that you are figuring out the source of the problem before getting too far into the project, though. When you paint your ceiling, you will make the ceiling look better, but it may deteriorate at a faster pace. Here are the most common warning signs that it is time to look at your ceiling:

• Chipping and fragmenting
• Rotting substrates
• Hardened caulk
• Flaky, bubbling, or cracking paint
• Inconsistent paint colors

To Add Character

Last but not least, when you paint your ceiling you can add character to any room. If all the rooms in your house comprise of neutral tones, things can get bland. To mix things up a bit, choose a fun ceiling color! A bold hue that ties in well with accent features can make a room pop. This is an especially great design tip for kids’ rooms and other rooms that are meant to entice fun. On the contrary, you can choose colors that give off an aura of sophistication. It all depends on what you’re trying to achieve in your home.
