But the painter said allot of people are going 1/4 strength on the ceiling- now I don't know whether to stick with the white or go 1/4 strength? what illusions/look do both options give you? WDYT? Sarah I quite like the flow of one colour throughout the house, and that is one colour done in different shades. So I would use the Flokati as ¼ on the ceilings. If you want your ceilings to stand out on their own, then I would use the White on White for a contrast.

Igloo for the rest of the house Re: Flokati walls and trims- what colour ceiling? 8Jun 23, 2010 9:59 pm SB1 our ceiling is 2.4m, what would make the ceiling look higher? I think white would. I've always thought that only very high ceilings can get away with ceiling in same colour as walls. Do cornices white too.
