Just painted the porch, now I have to paint the porch ceiling. I have a white country home, burgandy red door?
Question:and black shutters. Any sugestions other than blue which I do not like on a ceiling? Should it be the samecolor as the door? Perhaps it too should be white? What do ya think?
Answers:
Some just don't soak up the ?, do they? Way back,when I was young, my grandmother's wrap around porch had a med. to med. dark gray ceiling, and her house was about as old as yours. I'm thinking that it had a red door also, think it's a southern thing-- grey, white, red. Maybe it would work for you porch. I also thought about green but since you didn't like the cloud thing, didn't figure you'd go for a Xmasy theme!! Good luck with whatever color you choose!!
Perhaps a warm yellow or orange, a dark green or a brown green color. A shade of brown or a lighter beige.
eggshell or same white as porch
sounds pretty
I THINK YOU SHOULD PAINT THE CEILING SKY BLUE AND PAINT CLOUDS OVER THE BLUE.
I did this in a guest bedroom and everyone oohs and ahhs over it. I had no idea how to do clouds so I started dabbing on white paint in a swirl pattern with cheesecloth and it came out just great.
I would do a light, light brownish color, white, or perhaps a light variation of your Burgundy (pinkish/brown) to complement your door. If you do a dark color, it will make the area seem smaller. If you do a lighter color it will make the ceiling seem higher. I guess it depends on how high the ceiling is and IF you need it to seem higher than it really is (ie: it is a low, low ceiling).
Good luck.
I'd go with the same color as the door.
I would not do a burgundy color, burgandy is red and reds are warm colors, since the porch is already "warm", either go a cool color or neutral.
My choice would be white, or a very very pale sage, almost a white but just a TOUCH of sage.
No green or blue. You might want to consider what kind of hue burgundy paint would cast on people on the porch. I would have to say gray or white as suggested above is your best bet. I know you didn't ask for input on your door but if the burgundy isn't newly painted a bright red is always gorgeous with a white house/black shutters. I think the concept of red doors started in England as a way of saying welcome. Either way, it sounds like your house is done very tastefully. GoOd LuCk!
