Green Walls, Yellow Ceiling

Jersey Born · ‎03-10-2010

I like it! It's so cheery and bright! I could definitely live with these colors. How about you? (From an article entitled "Should you paint your ceiling the same color as your walls? We ask the experts" from Homes & Gardens)

I admire their "boldness"! The colors are pretty, but I think I'd get tired of them very quickly. I'm a "white walls" girl...prefer adding color with accessories, linens, upholstery, etc.

I would like to visit there but I wouldn't want it in my house. Perhaps another color to replace the yellow.

@Jersey Born , it is bold and fun! And I say that as someone who doesn't decorate with yellow.

Yet, I enjoy seeing it in other houses. The palette here has more intensity than I'm drawn to-- but for someone who likes more depth of color, it's well done.

I immediately pegged it as the work of an English designer, for several reasons, but, mainly b/c of the color combo.

The Brits are much more likely to use yellow, from pale lemon to sunny gold, than we are. Plus, that shade of green. And traditional and folk Scandinavian interiors made liberal use of grass green, soft pink, warm yellow. I wonder if it has something to do with the climate.... These colors provide cheer on gray days.

Thanks for posting-- I love seeing something different in the Home forum!

I am not a Yellow lover so maybe pale blue would work for me.

The yellow is too 'mustardy' for me. It looks like the ceiling color would look better-or maybe it's just the lighting.

Dr. Seuss comes to mind when I look at this. It's certainly refreshing, but I wonder how long before I lived there would I scream, 'what was I thinking??' In other words, after the novelty wore off, I'd absolutely have to have the painters in that very day.
