19 Elegant painted ceiling ideas that make a bold impact

post

A painted ceiling can have such an impressive effect and can transform the whole room. You can paint your ceiling boldly or select a more subdued paint color for a modest effect.

When decorating, you should consider your ceilings as a fifth wall. You can opt for a white ceiling to make the space appear higher or paint the ceiling in the same color as the walls for a smooth and cohesive effect. Alternatively, you can use bold or dark colors to draw attention to your ceilings and feature them as a focal point in your space.

A darker color will typically make the ceiling appear lower. For this reason, interior designers usually advise against picking a very dark ceiling paint color when your ceilings aren’t that high.

In the list below, you can find my favorite picks of the most inspiring living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchen spaces, all with a painted ceiling.

Painted ceiling ideas for the living and dining room

A black ceiling in a living room with an eclectic decor

The eclectic interior design in this majestic living room features a beautiful gallery wall and black-painted ceilings. Apart from the painted ceiling, the living room has quite a light color palette, which makes the room feel light and airy.

Paint your ceiling to highlight ceiling moldings

Painting your ceiling can be a great way to highlight ceiling moldings, just like in the interior design below. The light brown ceiling color is paired with natural elements and neutral tones in the decor. As the cherry on top, the oversized light fixtures pop out against the backdrop of the painted ceiling.

A modern living space with a black ceiling

The beautiful interior design of this historic living room with a modern twist is powered by the striking contrast between the light grey walls and the black ceiling. This contrast can be found back in the black and white sofa that decorates the middle of the space.

A low ceiling in a dark grey for a moody effect

Sometimes it’s fine to go against common interior rules and go for a bold and unique look. While darker ceiling colors will typically make your ceiling appear lower, in this small attic apartment, the dark color spread on the walls and ceiling has a unique effect on the space.

A lighter paint color might have made this room feel bigger, however, the design wouldn’t be as characterful.

The asymmetrical floor plan of this gorgeous historic living room is accentuated by adding a matt brown paint color to the ceiling.

Painted living room and dining room ceiling

The same shade of grey paint is used to paint the ceiling and four walls in this spacious living and dining room. The wall color is a few shades lighter than the color selected for the ceiling and trim. This creates a beautiful tonal effect from which the white living room couch and area rug stand out powerfully.

An attic living room completely painted in grey

When you have sloped ceilings, it’s always a bit tricky to know where the walls stop and the ceiling starts. By painting both the ceiling and walls in the same color, you achieve a cohesive effect from which the interior decor pieces stand out.

An eclectic space with a butter-yellow ceiling

The beige tones on the wainscoting in this dining room are paired with an off-white wall color and a subtle buttery yellow paint on the ceiling. Painting ceilings in a light yet complementary color will make them stand out in a subtle way that will make your space unique.

Swap out a white ceiling for a darker color for a unique effect

A dark ceiling color paired with white wall paint will make the ceiling come down visually, making the room appear less high. In this white room, the dark blue ceiling creates a visual depth that gives the interior design of the space a unique and personal effect.

A fun space with a pink ceiling

A blue bedroom ceiling like a blue sky

The white paint on the walls in this cozy bedroom is paired with a sky-blue painted ceiling, which gives the impression of a sky above the bed. The rest of the bedroom decor is selected in a neutral color palette, to make the ceiling paint stand out powerfully.

Bringing the eye upward in a small and narrow bedroom

A high ceiling in a narrow room like the one in the example below can sometimes make the space appear even more narrow. By selecting a green-grey painted ceiling for this small bedroom, the ceiling comes down visually and the floor plan of the bedroom looks more balanced.

The green and blue accents in the artwork and accessories bring out the green undertones in the ceiling paint.

A painted ceiling and trim in an all-white bedroom

Apart from the bed and the ceiling, this bedroom is almost entirely white. White walls are paired with white flooring and an impressive white bedroom wardrobe. The fifth wall, however, is painted in a bold blue paint color that has a huge impact on the interior design of the bedroom.

Painted ceiling ideas for the kitchen

A black ceiling color makes the ceiling beams stand out

Painting a space in such a dark paint color takes a bit of courage. If you take the bold route though, you might as well go all the way and add painted ceilings to the mix as well.

The interior design of this black kitchen is moody and bold while drawing attention to the light beige limestone flooring and the authentic wood beams.

A classic kitchen space with a yellow ceiling

For this kitchen space, the interior designer painted the walls yellow, and with it also planned out a yellow ceiling. The matt finish of the paint will hide imperfections, which is especially useful in older buildings. The warm yellow paint color gives this interior with dark floors a golden glow and the darker colors provide the space with contrast.

An olive green shaker kitchen with a matched paint color on the walls and ceiling

A gorgeous tone-one-tone look is achieved in this classic shaker kitchen with olive green kitchen cabinets, brass hardware, and an impressive white marble on the sink, counter, and backsplash.

By painting your ceiling and walls in the same color as your kitchen cabinets, you achieve a cohesive look. If you select a contrasting countertop color, it will magically pop out of the painted backdrop for an impressive effect in the space.

The bold color choice of green on the ceiling and walls in this historic kitchen puts the classic wood kitchen island with white countertops at the center of attention.

16 inspiring sage green wallpaper ideas

post

Sage green wallpaper typically has a bit more depth than a painted wall, as the pattern and color variations will add extra texture. Sage green is a perfect color for a bedroom, living room, or kitchen as it has a calming and tranquil effect on an interior, however, also adds a bit of interest to your walls.

Pair sage-green wallpaper with furniture and soft furnishings in soft and neutral colors to make it a real focal point in your interior, or add greenery to make the wallpaper color pop even more.

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is a great option if you are unsure about transforming your space, as it can easily be changed if you are unhappy with the result. However, as sage green is a rather neutral color, trying out a swatch should give you a perfect idea about the effect of the wallpaper in the space.

In the list below, you can find the most inspiring sage-green wallpaper ideas for different room settings in your home.

A sage green wallpaper in a bedroom with natural colors

Wallpaper in the bedroom can have such a great effect, especially when the interior itself is rather minimal. The wall behind the bed is covered in a floral wallpaper, eliminating the need of hanging any artwork above the bed. The army green headboard pairs perfectly with this look, which is complemented by calm beige tones in the fabric curtains and bed linens.

A light palette living room with a subtle green wallpaper

This wallpaper color goes in the direction of mint green, which adds a bit more of a fresh touch to this living room palette which consists mainly of white fabric furniture pieces and textiles.

Depending on the price, you can switch out the look on a wall like this as you wish, using a peel-and-stick wallpaper. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is also renter-friendly, as it is easy to apply and it doesn’t leave any residue when removing it.

Sage-green paint colors have a calming and serene effect on any interior setting. This makes them a perfect color choice for bedrooms especially, where we go to sleep, rest, or wind down.

Sage-green paint throughout your home

While often used for its tranquil and calming effects in a bedroom, sage-green is such a versatile color, that it can work well in other rooms in your home. Sage-green kitchen cabinets offer a timeless look that is a bit more unique than a white kitchen for example and the tranquil effect of a sage-green paint color in the living room can offer a soothing and inviting atmosphere.

15 pink bedroom ideas for an elegant touch

post

I bet when you think about pink bedrooms, your first thought goes to pink little girls rooms. Pink paint tones, however, can have such a subtle and elegant effect in a bedroom and tend to spread warmth through the interior design that looks sophisticated and characterful without being too overpowering.

Whether you work with a feature wall combined with white walls or paint the entire bedroom in a subtle dusty pink, nude pink, or deep pink tone, the effect can be impressive and the soft furnishings can easily be complemented in the same warm color palette for a tone-on-tone effect.

Pale dusty pink walls combined with white and warm tones

This dusty pink bedroom with white ceilings, white floorboards, and hardwood flooring is an example of how a pink bedroom can also be subtle and sophisticated. The bedroom itself is pretty basic, with a low bed, yet the art prints, accessories, and the mixture of linen bedding elevate the look of this bedroom design.

The dusty pink wall color is combined with a terracotta duvet cover and a mixture of beige and white linen textiles on the bed. The black in the wall art adds a bit of contrast to this look and the red and pink tints in the plant on the window sill are a nice touch in this color palette.

Go Paler on the Pink Colour Spectrum for a Subtle Effect

This gorgeous dusty pink bedroom has white-painted hardwood flooring, which accentuates the subtle warmth of the paint colour beautifully. As one of the more subtle of the pink bedroom ideas on this list, the power lies in the combination of beige accessories and the pink fabric curtains in front of the window.

Against these subtle pink walls, the fresh green plants pop out and add a gorgeous contrast to the setting.

Salmon pink walls paired up with natural materials

This salmon-pink bedroom with natural accents and white elements has an airy look that makes this small space special. The salmon pink wall color has a very toned-down look which also comes back on the matching pink custom-built floating shelving behind the bed for a tone-on-tone appearance.

The natural daylight coming through the window is warmed up and softened out by the beige linen blinds which are matched with the fabric pendant lamp and the beige linen bedding and throw blanket on the bed. The natural wood, seagrass, and rattan accessories warm up the pink bedroom walls even more and add a laid-back aesthetic to the space.

A grey going towards the pink color spectrum for a delicate look with turn-of-the-century elements

The wall color in this bedroom lays in between grey and pink on the color spectrum and depending on the angle one is looking at the walls, the undertones might give you a different appearance, which gives this bedroom with historic elements such a sophisticated look. The crown molding, floorboards, ceilings, and door and window frames are all white, which sets the wall color apart from the rest of the bright white surfaces.

The decor of the bedroom has been kept fairly simple, with white linen bedding decorating the bed and black accent pieces in the wall lamps, mirror, and side table adding some contrast to the elegant color scheme of this pink bedroom.

A pale pink bedroom with a wardrobe in the same soft pink color

What strikes me the most in this elegant dusty pink bedroom is the matching pink wardrobe which has been custom-built for this space going the entire length of the room, leaving out a small spot by the window for a small home office spot.

The dusty pink wall color combines wonderfully with the hardwood flooring, the warm wood of the vintage office, and the terracotta throw blanket on the bed.

A light dusty pink bedroom combined with white elements

The light pink color in this bedroom really draws attention to the beautiful white crown molding on the ceilings. The white elements come back in the dressing table, white bedding, and the off-white area rug for an elegant look that feels light.

The pink color on the wall comes back in the pink bedroom decor of the throw pillows and the dusty pink velvet pouf next to the bed, while the black and white wall art adds a subtle contrast to the pink and white wall colors.

A soft pink accent wall combined with a peach duvet cover

The soft pink accent wall transforms this bedroom into a warm space with a soft glow. The wall color has been paired up nicely with a peach duvet cover, a cognac leather chair next to the bed, and warm beige tones in the art print.

The natural light gets a soft glow through those light beige curtains and the other walls in this bedroom have been kept white for a lighter effect.

Use large pink pillows to create a pink headboard of sorts that complements the wall color in the background. Add some rose gold accessories to give the space a luxurious touch.

A pale blush pink room

The light pink walls in this bedroom add a very subtle effect to the space, which has a very classy yet modern decor in general. The paint color is so unique, and it really stands out from the grey paint color in the living room, so the room doesn’t need anything else than a few wood tones, a single art print on the wall, and a beautiful striped linen duvet cover.

A deep dusty pink bedroom with a pink headboard and vintage elements

I love that the deep dusty pink bedroom walls are matched by a pink headboard. This really adds so much character to the space. Other than the pink headboard, the faded blue chest of drawers and the vintage art piece next to the bed turn this small room into an eclectic mix of muted colors and lovely textures.

A light pastel pink bedroom color for a subtle look

I love pink paint colors that are barely there, just like in the case of this beautiful and subtle bedroom decor. The subtle pink tones of the wall color come back in the art prints as well and the throw blanket adds a bit of contrast to the otherwise light palette.

Beige-pink bedroom walls with a limewash treatment

These beige-pink limewash walls add such a lovely texture to this asymmetric bedroom. Since the texture on the walls is so impressive, the rest of the decor was kept very modest and minimal, with white bedding and a few wood tones to finish things off.

A deep nude pink bedroom with a white headboard

The pink accent wall in this bedroom balances out all the white and wood tints in a perfect way. The light can be dimmed with these beautiful light grey curtains and the pink paint makes the perfect backdrop for the white headboard and the vintage wood bedside table. The pink throw pillows on the bed add another pink element to the space to match the paint color.

A faded pink bedroom with pink bedding

The faded pink bedroom walls in this space are paired up with a grey fabric headboard, black wall lamps, and wood and beige tones in the nightstands and the throw blanket. I love that the pink comes back in the duvet cover as well – this ties the look together very nicely.

A deep pink-toned paint color with black accents

The deep pink on the wall almost goes into the direction of brown on the color wheel depending on the angle from which you look at it, yet it has clear red undertones, which gives it a pink impression. The deep wall color is paired up with a black-and-white palette of accessories and textiles, making the wall color the most colorful element in the space.

A dark pink bedroom with white details

The deep pink bedroom wall color in this space contrasts so nicely with the crisp white bedding, the white area rug, the rice paper pendant, and the subtle white wall lamps. The deep pink has been matched with a terracotta throw on the bed, walnut bedside cabinets, and a wooden lounge chair next to the bed.

A pink and white bedroom with a home office spot

This small guest bedroom has the most beautiful dusty pink walls, which makes this white ceiling and white window and door frames stand out in such a lovely way. The wall color highlights the historic features of the space and adds an elegant touch to the interior.

Add Wainscoting to Accentuate your Dusty Pink Bedroom

The subtle wainscoting makes this subtle pink bedroom decor shine. Against this backdrop of dusty pink, a beige fabric headboard and a mixture of beige and pink textiles on the bed brighten up the look. The off-white area rug lightens the hardwood flooring and the white fabric pendant light stands out against this elegant paint color as well.

Work with a pink headboard, pink bedding, or a simple pink throw blanket to create a more tone-on-tone look and an impressive effect.

Pair Dusty pink with Gold and Royal Blue for a Glamorous Effect

This is one of the most glamorous pink bedrooms on the list. The combination of the pink paint color, the dusty pink bedding, and the Royal Blue velvet on both the curtains and the headboard make for a beautiful contrast of different shades.

As the finishing touch to the look, the gold details in the mirror, accessories, and the crystal chandelier add a touch of glam.
