    Ceiling hight ver: paint color?
    I have some new rooms with a ceiling height of just under 7ft.
    I had a friend tell me that with a low ceiling height that if I paint the ceiling about 1/3 the color of the walls that the ceiling height won't be as noticeable. That would be instead of just painting with ceiling paint which is pretty much white.
    Any ideas.
    Thanks

    Hi, rrekih!

    Do the ceilings run perperdicular to the floors and do they have any texture on them, please?

    Thanks!

    Hi again, rrekih!

    I would consider using a much lighter, complimentary color for the ceilings and also the application of a couple of different colored, wide stripes around the edges of the ceilings to give the appearance that the rooms are larger.

    Thanks!
