Why You Should Paint Your Walls, Trim, & Ceiling All the Same Color | ✨Details in Description✨

[@LoganGraceHope]

This ONLY works in rooms that have lots of moulding on walls and at the top of walls, rooms with high ceilings and large windows. An average home without certain architectural details would look cheap if painted like this.

[@PeytonSlim]

Finally someone gets it! I tell people all the time when you look at these inspo pics, look at what that room has that yours does not. I dont mean easily obtainable features like lamps and drapes. Its the architectual detail that really makes the space. The house practically designs itself when you have those details.

[@dreamie9868]

You’re right

[@stephaniecarcamo1980]

Completely agree !! All those homes are decked out with trim and a ton of crown molding ,plus high ceilings. It would look like a hot mess on a standard home. That dark looks gorgeous on the "outlander"set, not a standard home build😂

[@inthem-a-king]

And only good with high ceilings.

[@BigBADSTUFF69]

depends on the color, if you do lame colors the yeah but it's nice with some more interesting colors even on uninteresting rooms

[@anitas5817]

I did hire an interior designer and my walls trim and ceilings are now all the same color, with eggshell finish on the walls and ceiling and satin on the trim. It’s amazing.

[@FPrice-jb8sl]

What type of ceilings do you have (texture, height)? Do you have trim as well?

[@Mikemcjr]

This wouldn't work with a cookie cutter home or an apartment. As a former maintenance man I've seen all kinds of trends. You have to consider the space. Notice her examples are mostly old architecture or open spaces. Be mindful of your areas people.

[@Moluccan56]

No flipping way would I do that in my no frills 80’s two bed townhouse.

[@laheldoll8142]

Was considering doing this in my living room in a dark green, does it look silly if it’s a smaller home? Can’t picture it in my head

[@djherhjak]

@@laheldoll8142 I did a room in a light blue color and the ceiling I did in 2 shades lighter, it looks like a white ceiling. As far as dark green goes, I'd go a shade lighter no more but idk if this trick would work in your case, I'd have to see the space

[@tobyrezer2103]

I think in the right spaces, this works. I had odd rounded ceilings on one wall by the windows, the distinct ceiling kine made the room feel shorter and drew your eye to the shorter celing line. So I painted The ceiling and wall same color. It was the right choice. Looks so much better! ❤

[@Hemond1]

I like the all blue piano room. Alot. Also like the ceiling molding and artwork. Took a screenshot and am going to copy.

[@mrnobody3949]

[@Tamara-id1pe]

Don’t paint ceilings with any paint that has a sheen to it including satin or eggshell. It shows every flaw, and causes that reflection that doesn’t look right

[@WVgrl59]

Mouldings in Windows play with big part in that and if you just have plain walls then it can feel very small if it's all one color. I use satin White for my ceilings to reflect light because I do not have many windows in each room. Especially use it in my hallway the walls and ceiling and that does help immensely.

[@nuestromundo5815]

[@elleshock4571]

Love it...white looks very French. Dark paint very English and traditional. You're right, the contrast between the white baseboards and different color walls looks very basic.

[@fromgrind2glory754]

It looks amazing.

[@bethelshiloh]

I’m about to remodel and I’m going to do that. Thanks.

[@Arginne]

If you do this your room will look smaller and closed in. It only works in the photos you posted because they have high ceilings and ornate trim

[@maryjanegreen7601]

I was going to do my walls and trim the same color, but use a semigoss on the trim, eggshell on the walls.

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

Thoughtful choice doing this combination. Semigloss trim stands out a hint more, and it's more scuff resistant.

[@Mother0387]

I am doing this to my bedroom now. Loving it so far.

[@NM-en3fl]

Did this years ago to my whole house, now l need to switch it up.

Perfect for 10' - 12' ceilings.

[@X_INDIGO_X]

I did this in my room. I painted my ceiling trim and walls black and added more trim on the wall (kind of like the first example photo) I also added tall plants and load of greenery my floor is white and black tiles ( idc i love it lol)

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

As I read that you painted it all black, in my head I have that Rolling Stones Paint It Black song 🎵 playing along. Sounds bold, elegant, and chic. 🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍

[@shadae68]

Wow. I Was Thinking to Do Black Ceilings. But, I Will Do This Instead! My Walls Are Already This Exact Same Color! This is Beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍

[@naldjn]

I am about to do that to my small sitting room which is going to be a library. It already has a woodheater in it so it's going to look good

[@RoamingPac]

I think I would give it a try

[@TheUtahPainter]

And it's way easier than a 3 tone I love doing one tone good advice

[@Reincarnation111]

My God! your skin and eyes are gorgeous...

[@JesusAlways1st]

Personally, I don’t care for colored walls and ceilings not this degree. It looks haunting with darker colors. I like the more open feel that white or off white brings or an khaki type color. It looks clean and crisp.

[@logan5326]

White paint offers you an illusion of space. If you're working in a smaller space, immediately will make it feel larger. If you're working in a large space, it will open it up even more. That's because darker colors absorb light, while white paint reflects light, making the walls appear to be receding.

[@Danielle-nz9tn]

Well, actually, she said that the white makes the room look "larger" and the dark ("moody") colors make the room look "cozy"....and we all know that "cozy" equals "small".

[@TeenDream888]

if you use a semi gloss paint and have a good amount of natural light (windows on two or three sides of your room), dark paint can actually make your room seem bigger. that's why you need to paint everything the darker color, as keeping trim and ceilings light breaks up that illusion and chops the room instead of creating a cohesive space.

[@Riel-q7l]

Good tip 👍

[@Harley6040]

Simply don’t do it.

[@JoJo-op5xy]

[@davidswanson5669]

[@HowardBaileyMusic]

I wish I painted my moulding the same colour. I painted my walls dark green (jade sea) and ultra white baseboards and ceiling trim. It looks really good with my natural wood ceilings and floors but OMG it was hard to paint.

[@marciray9204]

Unfortunately my home already looks like I could not afford a designer so I don’t think I would fool anyone… 😂

[@thixiemattel]

[@Real.Flowers.]

Does it work in small rooms with no molding?

[@lilacghoste8366]

​@@Real.Flowers.no.

[@edwina5114]

Unfortunately it really depends because sometimes the "Basic" white molding looks great and the reason many want molding to begin with. the first example she displayed with this technique made me feel like im walking in to a Library, Government Building or some old Lawyers office and the navy bluish color makes the place look even smaller than it already is.... I think it plays out better in bigger spaces and with lighter colors where you can see the moldings features better instead of the darker colors where the molding blends so much into the wall you can barely tell its there or almost gives off a plasticky reflection when light hits it. Also the plain grays have been overly used in the last decade by fix and flippers that many would feel its outdated or like their lazy landlord who didn't want to pay for more paint came by one day.

[@Nico777s]

also requires tons of natural light if you are going to use darker tones

Why do you skip to a complete different room. Show what it would look like in the first photo you showed please. It would reflect what a normal house without molding ect would look like. Sure it looks great when you have lots of architectural design and molding to highlight. I’d really like to know how this would look in my home

You should have shown at least one photo of the same room light and dark, or at least one that did not have any molding and few windows. Light plays a big part of it.

Wait a minute. Repaints mean you're always in demand 🤑. Maybe this paint it all one color idea came from someone that didn't want to use painter's tape or cut in with a proper brush? 😅 It looks so DIY didn't want to do any extra anything. Having said that, all white rooms can look timeless. It's paint so, if someone wants to express themselves doing all one color, enjoy! Also, enjoy repainting it, ha ha. I've done my fair share of impulsive room painting that I immediately repainted. Prep work is soooo important. Getting sample paint also matters.
