You know, it depends on the paint color you are using for the walls. Give a little more information?

The can't remember the actual name of the paint color but it is a a lighter tan

Can you give us a photo for the wall color?

Thank you. See photo. First coast of walls and celings is same color.. Light Tanish color. What do you think?

Not sure the photo went through so I have attached again. I also meant to write that the photo shows the first coat not coast of paint!

So many different factors and considerations. My niece built a house with 12-ft ceilings, and the contractor had ceilings painted the same as walls. (Easier to paint and probably cheaper). I just finished helping my sis paint her new home, and we decided to paint the 9-ft walls and ceilings in two of the bedrooms the same color (easier to paint and feels like a cocoon). Decided to paint master bedroom ceiling one shade lighter on the paint chip as the wall color she chose. Then rest of house, open concept with tray ceiling in living room, got a warm white on ceiling and walls.

What sort of natural light do you get in this area? Seems to me I'm looking at several paint colors? And the ceiling appears to be painted same as that single wall?

We have a lot of natural light through 12 foot glass doors. As I mentioned in this photo the ceiling and the walls are the same color, it is the first coat. Thanks!

We always paint the ceilings white, first! Then cut in the walls with paint. Good Luck!

Ok, now I understand. It appears your light tan with only one coat has quite a bit of pigment. Can you take your paint to the store and have them cut the formula back by 50% for the ceiling? You will still get that warm and enveloping feeling and the ceiling will never feel too dark.

Thank you! Good idea

Hi---with ceilings that high, the sky is the limit when it comes to ceiling color. :) If you want to add a touch of drama, paint the ceiling a deeper shade than the wall color. Otherwise, do as Karen suggested, cut the wall color to 50%. Hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

HI -- It is common for same color walls and ceilings in modern spaces and vaulted spaces - The different angles will make it look like a color difference . But you have the ceiling height to even paint the ceiling a dark color . So you could use the tan color for both and it will look great or maybe go a couple of tones darker . Try all one color first and see if you like it ... you can always re paint the ceiling later if you don't .

Your eye will follow color. If you paint the ceiling the same color as the walls, there is no contrast, so your eye will only go as high as the next color contrast such as window treatments or art. Your room will seem higher with contrasting ceilings. Even a darker ceiling will cause the eye to look upward, making the room feel larger.
