angelsephemera Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) my condo is standard magnolia (yellow) and they've painted the ceiling the same colour, it seems a little wrong like the room is a yellow box. Maybe I'll repaint it - i guess white is the standard what about light grey? Edited June 28, 2014 by angelsephemera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyecatcher Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Always always always paint a ceiling white. It makes a room appear bigger and reflect light well. Same for walls, a light colour is preferable, can do one wall as a feature but again it can make make a small room appear bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Off-white is what I have always observed and a flat non reflective paint. Have always seen local mix to make off-white but suspect with todays mix at store facilities it can be bought directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiFelix Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I wanted white ceilings in my new house with the walls a light grey (Dulux Twilight). After I saw the unbelievable mess the builders were making trying to cut-in I drove 1 1/2 hours to Udon to buy more grey so they could paint it all same colour. The result was still very good but would have preferred a flat finish for the ceiling. Semi gloss showed up all the joints and imperfections in the ceiling (they weren't very good at plastering either ) whereas flat does the opposite.

angelsephemera Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 ah my god, semi gloss or gloss would be not so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Semi gloss ok at a pinch, certainly never gloss as others say you canM see every blemish and undulation. Use a matt paint, eggshell or similar even acrylics matt is ok in non steamy bathrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
