5 Ideas to Make an Interesting Statement When Painting Your Minnesota Ceilings
Many homeowners in and near Ham Lake MN are looking to make a statement with their ceiling, and the interior painters at Schwartz & Sons Painting are ready to help ensure that your exciting new look is just what you are looking for. First, consider these five ideas, and then contact your painting contractor to talk these options through, and we will help you determine what will work best in your home.
Beadboard
One of the options that you should consider if you are looking for a more extensive change, not simply having a flat or an as-flat-as-possible ceiling, is the use of beadboard. This can give that room an intriguing, oftentimes rustic, look while bringing many mentally back to older times and previous homes that they lived in or learned about. Others appreciate the cottage feel that it can bring. You can also have our interior painters paint this beadboard however you would like to give it that exact look that you desire.
Metal Tiles
Another interesting option for your ceiling is the use of metal tiles. They will give that room or your entire home a sleek and modern look. An important consideration to make is that metal tiles are amongst the sturdiest, most durable option that you can take advantage of for your ceilings. They generally last for years with no added care necessary as they are particularly resistant to breaks and cracks. Of course, you can also have your interior painters paint these whichever color you would like, or you can instead leave them in their natural, metallic look.
Dark/Bold Colors
Regardless, consider having your painting contractor paint your ceilings in dark or bold colors. The benefits of doing so are numerous, one of the most significant being how this naturally brings out the other colors that you have used elsewhere in those rooms. This is particularly true if those other shades are much lighter or otherwise different in comparison. Another consideration is to also use that color in other areas of that room and elsewhere in your home. In addition, using similarly colored curtains is an option; this decorative statement will help make those rooms especially inviting and interesting.
Be Contrasting
Regardless of what colors you have applied to your ceilings, do consider having that contrast with other areas of those rooms and with the rest of your home. An option is to have the ceiling contrast with itself. Ways that you can do this is to have a ceiling’s trimmings be painted in white or a light color and the rest of the ceiling in a darker color. Other ways to do this latter option is by having base plates and different types of molding provide that contrast. Each of these options will usually allow one or the other part of that ceiling to blend with colors that are already elsewhere in that room.
Consider the Texture
One of the most important things that you should discuss with your painting contractor is the texture that you will want applied to your ceiling. This is particularly important if you have some imperfections there, such as cracks or other blemishes, that you feel take away from its overall look. Fortunately, the professional painters at Schwartz & Sons Painting know just how to provide a finish that ensures that any imperfections that do exist are almost imperceptible. This is often done through matte-finish or flat paints or through the use of well-placed artistic swirls or a stucco texture.
Ceilings are so often overlooked when homeowners consider how their homes should be painted. This is understandable as it is not usually an area that is casually looked at. However, ceilings are still one of the most important places where paint is applied as the look there helps bring the rest of the room and the entire house together. Plus, of course, ceilings will always be looked at from time to time, particularly by those entering your home for the first time.
