Personally i think a white ceiling is never a bad look.
When people think of white they think that sterile hospital white but strong white is one that is soft and has depth.
My favorite white paint is white cliffs by portola paints glazes says designer stefani stein.
According to caroline grant and dolores suarez of dekar design strong white is the perfect neutral white paint color.
It is bright and crisp with the just the slightest touch of warmth.
It does not have pink or yellow undertones but has a softness that is needed in a true white.
Warmer undertones with pair beautifully with wood tones.
Favorite whites for ceilings include white dove oc 17 cloud white oc 130 and decorator s white oc 149.
Is white the best ceiling paint color.
That being said the cool bright undertones can also look too stark and even blinding in some.
If your walls are white and the ceiling has a flat smooth surface consider painting your ceiling a softer color such as a lighter peach a sky blue a very light gray or a pale yellow to give your space a breezy feel.
It s the next best thing to white.
Some of my favorite whites include white dove by benjamin moore farrow ball all white and farrow ball ammonite which has a subtle gray undertone offers vanessa alexander of alexander design.
Extra white is my go to bright white that is perfect on ceilings to really brighten and open up spaces.
It also pairs well with alabaster for a wall color.
Choose a warmer white if you don t want your room to veer on the side of stark.
For seamless color flow select a white for your ceiling that shares a similar undertone as the wall color.
A white ceiling makes smaller spaces feel larger.
