White and grey
A white ceiling with a pale grey border or a light grey centre is modern and easy to match. Warm greys suit warm lighting, while cool greys suit cool white light.
Cream and gold
Cream with gold lines or soft gold paint on mouldings suits formal rooms and warm lighting. Use gold sparingly to avoid a heavy feel.
Blue and white
Pale blue centres with white borders feel fresh in bedrooms and kids' rooms, and deeper blues suit cinematic rooms. Avoid strong blue under cool light which can look cold.
Wood and white
Wood-look panels or real wood borders inside a white ceiling add warmth and suit living rooms and dining rooms. Keep wood tones in step with floors and furniture.
Wall and light colour pairings
Match the ceiling colour a shade lighter than the walls for height, and make sure cove light colour agrees: warm 2700 to 3000 K with cream and gold, neutral 4000 K with grey and white. Test paint samples under the actual lights.
Small and large room tips
Light ceilings make small rooms feel larger, while bold or darker ceilings suit big, well-lit rooms. In low rooms, avoid dark ceilings and heavy contrasts.

Mistakes
Common mistakes are choosing colours from a screen, ignoring light colour, using dark ceilings in low rooms and too many colours. Installation should be done by a trained ceiling fixer, with the structure, wiring and services above the ceiling checked first.
Before you decide
Test paint under your lights, keep to two colours and match cove light to the scheme. Take photos of your room, measure the ceiling height and the positions of lights, fans and windows, and share a simple sketch with the contractor so every quote covers the same design. Visit a finished ceiling by the same contractor if possible and check joints, paint and light alignment before agreeing the final payment. Ask neighbours or friends who have similar rooms how their ceilings have aged over two or three years. Measure each room, make a simple sketch of the ceiling layout with light and fan points, compare at least two quotes on the same specification of material, framing, paint and labour, and keep the invoice and any warranty. Ask the contractor for the finished thickness, drop height and wiring plan in writing, check a completed ceiling in person if possible and agree stage payments, with a final payment only after the finish, joints and lights are inspected. Prices change with material costs and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide.
