grey ceiling with grey walls? Should I do it?
Answers:
You must do it! You will be amazed how beautiful and dramatic it is. Before we were married, my husband painted his entire apartment medium grey. Any color that was introduced into the room -- flowers, art, wood furniture, whatever -- really popped out. We miss the glamor of his old place.

Depends on your accent colors. I'd say go for it.

First, you should follow your own tastes and instincts. If you want grey, then paint the room grey. I once painted a room totally black for a customer. I thought she was nuts. However, it was a party room and it turned out very nicely. If you do paint the ceiling grey too, use a lighter shade because it won't be that noticeable, if at all, it will give you a lighter feel to the room, and it will still be the color scheme you're looking for.
By the way, I also painted another room for that same woman totally red. So, have confidence in your wants and instincts.
Go for it!
okay the gray ceiling would probably make the room look bigger and i think it would look good if the furniture was black, not all of it but it would match well
Go with a light grey with a hint of blue...
1st off do you own the house? But in anycase I would paint the ceiling white, it will look bigger. and paint the walls a neutural color like off white before you move or sell.
I would have to say depending on your choice of gray it would probably be cute if you painted the walls a dark gray and the ceiling maybe a shade lighter therefore it would make the room pop with whatever furniture you have and it will also make the small room look to be about medium hopes this helps
I have two fingers and a nose
I have had a bedroom with grey walls and grey ceiling. The trim and doors were white-ish. The ceiling was one shade lighter (on the paint deck pick the next color away from the binder for the perfect match).
It was spectacular. In the end the grey that I ended up with on the walls had a slight purple undertone and made my faux painted bed (that is purple and silver) look spectacular.
As for making it appear small--that's an old wive's tale. When you enter some of the most fabulous tiny powder rooms they are painted in dark colors floor and ceiling and they look fantastic.
Just be sure that take a fabric swatch of your rug/drapes or furniture so you pick out the right color.
AND it's imperative that you get a small can of the color you think you're going to like and test it before going all out. This can save you lots of cash.
do what you like, have other bright accent colors and that should help. make it you and you'll be happy.
no,too dull
a long time ago, I used to live in San Francisco cheap rooms; grey was popular with the managers; They all looked cheap and drab. If I was going to stay long, I headed for the paint store.
hey it's your place. we don't have to look at it. If you like it then go for it. You can always repaint it.
I painted an entire bedroom grey (a medium 'concrete' grey) and it looked wonderful! I trimmed it in a dark grey. Accent it with brushed nickel or pewter colored accents and it will be magnificent!
