Experience in Choosing Ceiling Colors

Ceiling color has a direct impact on the living space, so it needs to be carefully selected. Here are some notes when coordinating colors for the ceiling:

1. Understand the impact of color on space

Light colors such as white, cream, and beige help make a space appear more spacious and airy. These colors reflect light well, creating a light and elegant feeling. This is a safe and popular choice for most ceiling designs.

On the contrary, dark colors such as black, dark gray, and deep brown bring a luxurious, cozy, and deep beauty. However, it is necessary to note that dark colors should be used for large spaces and combined with a reasonable lighting system to avoid a heavy, dark feeling.

2. Refer to the principles of color coordination

When choosing colors for your ceiling, you can use the color wheel to create harmony. Choosing colors that are close together on the color wheel will create connection and balance in the space.

Using contrasting colors (opposites on the color wheel) is also a way to create a striking accent on the ceiling. For example, you can combine a white ceiling with red or orange accents. But use contrasting colors sparingly and in balance to avoid creating a confusing effect.

3. Note about feng shui elements

According to Feng Shui, each color has its own meaning and energy. Choosing the right color for the homeowner's destiny will bring luck and fortune to the whole family.

For example, people with the Metal element should use white, gray, and gold tones. People with the Fire element are often compatible with red, pink, orange, and purple.

In addition, you should also avoid overusing dark colors such as black and smoky gray. These colors create a heavy, gloomy feeling and are not suitable for home feng shui. Instead, you can use warm colors such as brown, burgundy, and moss green to create balance.
