Decorate Myths Busted: White is not always good for your ceiling - When planning a color scheme, most of us spend hours poring over paint charts to find the perfect shade for the walls, but we hardly give a second thought to the ceiling. Because, well, you should always paint the ceiling white, right? It is true that in our quest to make our rooms seem larger and lighter, white has become the default choice, but if you treat it as a hard and fast rule, and have never considered doing something different with your "fifth wall" you 're missing a trick. Not convinced? These ideas might just change your mind.

Try some wood
We are accustomed to wooden floors and wood-paneled walls, but wooden ceilings? Well, they may look pretty amazing, too. Woodwork adds a cocoon pleasant sensation to a living space or bedroom. And if the real thing is too much of a commitment, you can fake with a trompe l'wallpaper eye. One thing to note about this piece is how the striped carpet was put to echo the direction of the wood, visually connecting the floor and ceiling. Clever.

Be bold with black
black coupling cream is a courageous choice, but it pays dividends here. The black paint makes the high ceiling appear lower, pointing to the magnificent ceiling rose and adding a good dose of "wow" a simple cream diet. It looks fabulous with dark wood furniture, too.

Introduce some sun
yellow kitchen units are only for the brave, but a canary ceiling color? This is something everyone can do. A splatter of paint in a vibrant shade daffodil was all it took to make this dark room lack of natural light in a gay sunny space.

Add call curve
OK, this ceiling has a good amount of white on it, but if the owners had left it, you barely notice its beautiful curve. The introduction of a timber scanning is an inspired move that highlights the rounded shape takes your flooring and kitchen units, and really sets this room apart.

Cover in concrete
If fresh and contemporary is your thing, consider the polished concrete on the ceiling. For this to be effective, the rest of the room should be immaculate - think crisp, pristine white walls and furniture - otherwise there is a risk it will look like you never got round to complete the decoration ...

Who says just wallpaper for the walls? Hanging on the ceiling can test your DIY skills to the limit, but you will be rewarded with an incredibly striking system. Done right, it can actually make your higher ceiling of an old white plain manner never could. The trick is to use molding to "contain" the design and paint the edges of the ceiling the same color as the walls. This tricks the eye into thinking that the walls are larger than they are -. Perfect for improving the proportions of your room

Make it metal
If you do not want to lose the reflectivity of light white, but do not want to be a little more adventurous, the tin ceiling tiles are a good bet. They are modern, eye-catching, inexpensive and they increase light levels. What's not to love?

Be creative in the bedroom of a child
the child's room is a place where you can go all-out and try something really different. Continue a wall world map on the ceiling, so your little one can relax and dream of distant lands (and improve their geographical knowledge at the same time!).

Choose midnight blue
floor-to-ceiling windows and bright white surfaces make more room and light, but on the side, all that brightness may appear as cold or worse sterile. With limited wall space, there is only so much you can do in terms of wall coverings and artwork, but an ink blue ceiling instantly makes the space seem more cozy and intimate.

Bring on the red
Scarlet is not the usual choice for bathroom decoration. Used on walls, it could thwart rest, serene feeling you are targeting. But a red cap? We speak now. This strong, rich color adds warmth and, with low lights, throws a beautiful pink glow on the walls. A painted purple bath draws the diagram together without any risk of overkill.
