Living Room Ceiling Design: How to Paint the Ceilings and Walls in One Color
Adding pops of color and variety through accents and texture adds interest and depth to a monochromatic Living Room Ceiling Design.

Living rooms are spaces where people gather to spend time with family and friends. The design goal for most living rooms is to create a space that is inviting, cozy and that encourages relaxation. Paint color plays a significant role in achieving this goal. Painting the walls and ceiling the same color can work toward creating a cozy, relaxing space in some Living Room Ceiling Design, but the key is to balance the monochromatic theme with other elements in the room.

Monochromatic Design Principles
Painting your living room ceiling a different color than the walls draws attention to where the top of the wall and the ceiling meet, which makes you more aware of the ceiling height, or the lack of it. A single color on both the ceiling and the walls eliminates this line, which can make a living room appear larger. However, color choice plays an important role in whether a monochromatic scheme is appealing or overwhelming. For example, a small living room with a light color on the walls and ceiling feels larger, but a dark color in the same space would feel smothering. In a large living room room, using medium to dark shades on the walls and ceilings makes the room feel cozier, while a light shade might feel too spacious or cold.
