Should You Paint Ceilings The Same Color As Walls. Bathrooms are a perfect example of using the same color on the walls and ceiling, thus simplifying and making the room feel bigger and more. Habitat houses here paint the walls and ceilings a very light tan, called eggshell.
The ceiling should be painted a lighter coler to add openness to the room.usually ceiling white or about three shades lighter on the color chart (or more).
If you're going to paint your walls after you paint your ceiling, you should still mask the trim. The current trend is to paint everything the same color.walls, trim, baseboards. We plan on putting in crown molding but just finished painting. We're painting hallways a light apricot, the ceiling an off white.
