Anything but White

After seven hours of painting, the painters are gone! Yay! However, they will be back tomorrow.
Our new family room is starting to shape up! The paint before was all white, including the ceiling. I have never had a ceiling painted anything but white. The painter was skeptical, but said the ceiling height and size of the room can carry it off. Our decorator was adamant about it.
Are your ceilings white or colored?

Yes, all white ceilings seem to be the norm. Our painter told us that he has been painting colored ceilings in some of the big, new houses going up. One female doctor built a 8000 sq. ft house with 24 foot high ceilings. Can you imagine? Our new bathroom is painted a soft green, the powder room is white with wallpaper trim, and our bathroom is all white. Everything! That way I can play around with pretty colored towels, even white ones. I need more houses. Lol! Thank you. I hope the furniture looks good with this color.

My ceilings are white but I would not hesitate to try another color especially with the tall ceilings.

@DianneN My kitchen has 14 foot ceiling so I will have to consider it when I repaint.

My ceilings are beige. What color are you going to paint the ceilings?

We still need to paint our interiors after being here for 4 years
. The entire inside was completely white . . . a bit cold looking to me. It's still white now, but we will be painting eventually to different colors. Oh, the only ceiling that is not white is in our kitchen which is slightly lighter than the sage kitchen walls. But sigh, everywhere else it is plain white.

It DOES go with anything! But I say sigh because we've been wanting to work on this place ourselves - and we just never seem to have time to get to those projects. Well, we did finally paint the outside of the house last December - much easier to just hire someone

@DianneN It looks really nice. Never would thought of painting the ceiling a different color. :)

I like the room. My ceilings are all white. Sometimes I think I would like to have them sky blue so it would seem like I am outside when I am in ans I would have blue skies even on gray days.

It is cream in color. I like such plain colors which makes the room spacious.

I love the windows at the end of the room! And the skylights should let in some beautiful light that will brighten the room. Based on the size of the room, the ceiling height, and the amount of light that will filter in, I think you'll be able to pull it off with the painted ceiling. It's worth a try!

All my walls and ceilings are cream or egg-shell color, if you prefer. White has some advantages though. If you are not getting much light into your home, then white might be the best option. If, on the other hand, you prefer a warm atmosphere, you'll better go with a less harsh color.
