colors to paint low ceiling room walls, ceiling, and trim
Comments (12)My trim is painted white throughout the house....with the exception of my son's room. He decided to do it himself on a whim about a month after moving in. The room was baby blue with a hand painted sky on the ceiling which looked more like an angry galaxy. He couldn't stand it and used the buff color I had used for my living room walls. I was almost crazy watching him paint, he did it in 3 hours and covered everything including the baseboard,coving and ceiling in one color. Results really surprised me, it looks great and made the room feel larger, much more pulled together. Am not sure if I'd do this in any room, but for this one it worked out well. All in the beholder, this sounds like a job you will have to play with. Buy some cheap oops paint or use something you have around and try an area. May be added work, but paint is easily changed and painting, as with interior design, is a personal decision. While at Lowes for plumbing, I mentioned the return of blue/pink/yellow sinks/toilets which were on display. The two guys said "yeah, back to the 60s/70s". My kids (in their late 30s) were commenting on some green dishes bought to use for matching my kitchen paint picked out. They think these greens look exactly like the avacado they grew up with. My explanation that the greens are "herb" tones just brought a bunch of giggling. I love green and will still paint the kitchen an "herb" green. But admission that they have now tainted my seeing the different shades and in the back of my mind is avacado....See MoreLow ceilings: industrial design glass window line spacing
Comments (3)thanks. we were originally working with a contractor only as we only had superficial renovations to do. Then we had the idea to knock down the wall here... and things became a bit more complicated. I'm in the process of looking for architects but have already been asking for quotes from local companies who make walls like these. I just want to have a better idea for the moment......See MoreNeed ceiling fan ideas for low kitchen ceiling
Comments (15)Agree with oasisowner. You can have all the range venting in the world and that doesn't help if it's hot and humid in the kitchen. And that's even with A/C. You'd be surprised how many kitchens don't have vents where you'd want them, Jan. But I would want to know what "extremely low" means. If it's, say, 7 feet, I think you're out of luck for a ceiling fan....See Morelights over my island_low ceiling
