Is painting a ceiling dark in a small bathroom a bad idea? My wife got the idea because when we moved in there was dark wallpaper on the walls and ceiling and I guess she got used to it and thought it made the space more bold and interesting. Would it look cave like? It's a small bathroom with a nine foot ceiling and painted dark green. Black and white tile on the lower section. Gold lighting and mirror and fixtures eventually. We aren't sure about the floor yet, but I would like black and off white. Pictures in the comments. Thanks!
