We have a raised 2890mm entry ceiling, with square set cornices. The rest of the house is with cove cornice, and ALL walls, ceilings, architraves and skirtings etc are in Dulux Beige Royal 1/4. I think it always looks good if you have flow of the same colour. But I have seen some displays with wallpaper on the wall, but normal whitish ceiling.

Regards Re: Square set cornices and paint colours 4Dec 29, 2008 5:20 pm Our unit has off-white wall colour and white ceilings with square set cornices. Looks great and it's what I'll have in my new home. The right colour for the wall and the ceiling.

The colour I've picked is Haymes Polar Bear.... it has a distinct taupe tint to it. Not sure if it is too dark to use on the ceiling. I'm wondering if it will still be ok to use on the ceiling..... I don't want to go too white on the walls because of stupid dogs and child. I'm wondering if I can just use ceiling white in the areas with cornice (bedrooms, playroom, hallway). I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick reply 7Dec 29, 2008 6:40 pm I just went to the Haymes online colour centre.
I have never seen a different colour ceiling other than white, except for home theatres where all walls and the ceiling are paibnted a dark colour for the pure purpose of a cinema experience. Yes, Polar Bear is a great colour, but I wouldnt suggest it for a ceiling. Are you having a Polar Bear feature wall or the like? You may remember me as "pringles", on such websites as Homeone.

I've seen plenty of houses that are not white ceilings. Actually I don't recall seeing any house recently that was actually just white on ceilings. It is normally variation like off white, or cream just lesser strengths to make them very light. reply 9Dec 29, 2008 8:00 pm Yes, thats what I meant. Not necessarily white, but the off whites and the beiges. We have Dulux Beige Royal 1/4, and thats a very light beige.
Of course most of the ceilings are not actually white white.. But what I am saying is that the Haymes Polar Bear colour would be too dark as opposed to the off whites and softer beiges.. Hope that helps! You may remember me as "pringles", on such websites as Homeone. Building Atlantique Mk2 with Carlisle. At completion stage.

We have square set cornices throughout and used 1/4 strength Hog Bristle on the walls and off white on the ceilings. Looks very very uniform and similar. A bit bland actually ... feature walls needed . Re: Square set cornices and paint colours 11Dec 29, 2008 9:08 pm Joles,
We have s/s plaster and we used Bristol Olivine throughout.

It's not what you'd call a white colour although it's light. Do you find it brings your ceiling down at all? This is exactly the type pf pics I was after..... thanks. Seeing square set with something besides white has boosted my confidence! I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Square set cornices and paint colours 13Dec 29, 2008 9:30 pm Yeah it is a light olive/creamy colour.
Most people comment on how high the ceilings are so I would have to say no... We elected to go all once colour right through to keep continuity. Re: Square set cornices and paint colours 14Dec 30, 2008 9:31 am I know you hate them, but there is a new M3tricon display in Belmore Rd, Balwyn which has square set cornices and several rooms have different wall/ceiling colours. Looks really nice, and worth a look at if this is what you are after. Re: Square set cornices and paint colours 15Dec 30, 2008 5:57 pm We have the square set thingummies in our entry....raised ceiling there. I'll see if I can hold the camera straight for a photo (had a couple of wines already - oops! ).
Paint is Wattyl ID - walls are Castilian and ceilings are Bone. Be back when I've eaten with the pic.... Re: Square set cornices and paint colours 18Dec 30, 2008 6:54 pm Thanks kek, our entry will have a very similar ceiling to that.
I'm thinking I'll go the same colour throughout. I just hope Polar Bear doesn't prove to be too dark. It's no darker than Olivine though that mattwalker used so hopefully it will be ok. Thanks for all replies. kek, just as a matter of interest, how high is your entry ceiling? I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.
