When it comes to painting, the use of colour is used most commonly on walls, but what about ceilings?
Colour can evoke a wide range of feelings which can be further enhanced by painting your ceiling. While perhaps referred to as the fifth wall in a room, Brewers Decorator Centres is inspiring us to use colour in a different way and helping to achieve a new sense of feeling in your space.
Here are their three tips for ‘ceiling’ that paint success!
Bright and light
If you want light to bounce off the ceiling to brighten up the room, you do not have to use brilliant white to achieve this. You can use a neutral colour that complements the walls instead.

Bold and brave
To add some drama to the room you could use a darker colour than what’s used on the walls.
It’s a bold move, but it can really add that all important wow factor making the room feel grander but also cosier at the same time. It is also effective if you have cornicing or coving and can paint them in a lighter or contrasting colour.
Brewers top tip: Why not try Benjamin Moore Ceiling Paint which has been specifically formulated for ceiling which are ultra-flat, designed to hide common ceiling imperfections for a flawless look. The paint also has minimal splatter and a quicker drying time for faster recoats.

Cocooning and calm
You can also paint your ceiling the same colour as the walls to give a real cocooning feel, which works great in a bedroom or snug.
