What color should a ceiling be painted?
1 Answer
The color you paint your ceiling is totally up to you. White is the most popular color, but there are no rules when it comes to painting a ceiling. Lighter colors tend to make the space feel slightly bigger while darker ones offer a moodier and more unique feel.
