CJREDDEVIL 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2009 Hi forumers, Would like your comments/response on my below query: Normal color of the ceiling is white, however I am thinking to paint it same color as the wall and add in cornies(white color) at aroung the edge. Reason for painting the ceiling color same as wall is because most of my lightings are "bounce-light" (eg: the cove-fluorescent light & also an "Alabaster-stone light" for my dinning which are all lighted-upwards).........so it will only create effects when shines on a darker tone surface. Has anyone painted a darker-tone color for ceiling?...... ......or is it advisable to paint darker tone color instead of normal white? Any advise/comments welcome please! Cheers!

dsman 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2009 my friend painted his living room ceiling the darker colour of the walls...and he regretted it. said he should have painted white or a lighter tone as he feels the light colours will make the place look bigger...n higher. for my place...i will stick to white. if not my downlights will stick out like sore thumbs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I PM you about something k? You are right...Pink... As my wall color is not so dark.....(I am using Natural Cane color)...it really turns out to be very matching...especially when the white cornices runs over the edges....it fills up the contrast.......will try to update progress & post the pics soon....uhmmm....now very buzy packing...getting ready to move-in this weekend.

CJREDDEVIL 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2009 Hi Hi, Updates on Reno Day-9 : Started to fix the lightings, but painting work still not complete due to my request to change/re-paint the ceiling color from white to wall color tone. Actually that painter "ah pek " (kau peh kau bu) in his heart....when I ask him to re-paint the ceiling....but he still do it and commented that it was really a daring/wise choice....good results no regret...uhmmm.... ....refering to his own good painting skills ?....ahhahahaa That's my dinning area light, it's an Alabaster-stone light......uhmm...of cuz exclude the plastic sheet which I covered it to prevent damage from painting ceiling.....if that "ah pek" beh song.... ..... Notice the color of the ceiling already painted(1st coat), and also the installation of cornices just yesterday..........as I said it turns out to be very very matching....if ceiling is white = too plain.....now same color tone as wall = more cozy especially with the lighting effects at nite......will post more pics after the final touch-up painting....check it out later!
