Interior Painting Ideas for Walls & CeilingsIt seems certain areas of the home’s walls and ceilings lend themselves to painting opportunities.Starting at the top; ceilings on new homes are typically left unpainted. Which is the most economical option. But a lighter, brighter appeal can be achieved with rolling on ceiling paint (rolling on in a direction counter to the natural light entering through a window). Many paint manufacturers do add a touch of grey to their ceiling whites to increase coverage – because straight white by itself is markedly thin when it comes to coverage. A mimum of two coats is usually needed for unpainted ceiling areas. For the case of treyed ceilings, these provide a special opportunity. Scenery here is effective in the form of outdoor pictures, abstracts or what have you. Darker tones can bring in a sense of detached height. Lighter or much of the same tone can provide an appealing continuation. Within the trey - for that angular crown mould installed here or at the lower ceiling/wall juncture - closing that miniature shadow gap between the walll and casing with a clean bead of tub-and-tile caulk seals things up airtight and unnoticeable (with a continual rinse rag). Darker walls can exagerate taller areas like foyers with staircase entries, as the first impression one has, it is possible to lift upward. Or simply create more of an open-ness surrounding on all sides with lighter shades. All relying on light, artificial and natural. For those walls reduced in height, pre-cast nooks painted to match the trim are available in a variety of styles, provided you have the proper cavity/wall space. Giving elegance and extra space. - Just some of the ways inside painting matters. |
