11 Paint Colors Perfect for Large Rooms With High Ceilings

It's often a treat to have high ceilings in your home, especially if they're in a large room with a lot of natural light. This combo ensures that your space will never feel cramped, but it can be a bit intimidating to work with at first. However, when decorated well, they can feel both expansive and cozy.

While you can always choose whatever colors make you happy, some shades typically work better in specific spaces around the home. "I love to accentuate a high ceiling with a dramatic color, which will draw your eye upwards and draw attention to the height," says interior designer Grey Joyner, owner of Grey Joyner Interiors. "A brighter, lighter color will show off the features of the ceiling, depending on the architectural details, beams, etc. On the contrary, if the room itself is painted a bold color, you can paint the ceiling white as a nice contrast."
