painting the inner ceiling can make the ceiling look higher

the important thing to consider is how much natural light comes into your unit

if it's bright enough, black will be a nice choice

if not, you might have to switch on the lights even in the day :thumbs up:

Agree Agree.. as you can see from my pictures, in the day, my place seems rather dark..

I think whether or not i paint my ceiling, i still have to on the ligths in the day. LOL...

maybe you can consider using the 'light something' series from nippon (or is it ICI)

the one that reflects more light than normal paint

it'll help in the day so you won't need to use the lights in the morning !!

Oh icic~~ wow fast man ur reno. me still waiting for hdb to hand over the house. today went to see they already hacked away the old tiles so now waiting for them to retile. asked about if we can top up some money to change to homo tiles but the officer say we cant cos the contractor will think hdb pak kat with us to make them change the tiles for us, so nvm lo anyway i find i quite like my current tiles keke :)

Yeah yeah!! How you kow... I am using that series of paint.

looking at the paint chart, it really seems to reflect light. Like glowing paint!

Hopefully it will turn out nice!:paint:

ID still refuse to paint our ceiling.. :)

My reno quite slow... HDB havent really hand over to us yet, but we proceed with our reno first, no time to wait for them... :paint:

think it'd be good to paint the ceiling white using the 'light' paint

really brightens up the place, and save electricity too :sport-smiley-018: :sport-smiley-018:

HI greaycat,

Yes thats my featured wall. No money to do up something nice, so thot of just painting it a color to make it more.. 'featured'. LOL!

Yeah, i wanted it all white initially, coz i like white, and i think it makes the whole place look spacious and clean, but everyone keep telling me it will be very plain, and some even commented it might look like hospital, so decided to add it a few more colors!

harlow

it's muah! !!

wow. your reno is progressing well! now your living area looks so much more spacious and bright with the lightings and all.

:sport-smiley-004:! must post more pix hehehe

eh i just realised my friend is staying in your block :furious:
