Design Tip: Paint the Ceilings, Not the Walls

Frederick + Frederick | Dillard Design | Valerie DeRoy

Are you tempted to liven up your living space, but just can’t bring yourself to part with those safe, clean, white walls? Well guess what–you can get a striking effect with a lot less work by simply painting your ceiling. Above you can see how the subtlest gray really polishes off the room, or a slate blue pulls out the artwork from an otherwise austere hallway.

Feeling a little more brave? Bright colors, patterns and murals can turn the ceiling into a piece of art in and of itself.
