Painting A Room All One Color

Have you ever considered painting your ceiling the same color as your walls? Don’t you think a room painted all in one color is an absurd idea because it will make your room one big bland piece? Well, guess what! Looks like an all-one color room is a new trend here in the house-painting world, and for all the good reasons.

Monochrome paint - a catchall term for painting the walls, ceilings, and sometimes trim, all the same color. Not only does this look cool but is also timeless. This all-one color room has always been on trend with designers and is showing no signs of slipping into obscurity in the future either. Read on to find out more about this classic house painting idea.

Pros of All One Color Room

Makes the Painting Process Easier

Choosing the same color, or the same sheen or finish, for ceiling and walls can quicken the painting process. You can forgo the hassle of having to paint along straight lines carefully and applying and removing painter’s tape in sections where you want different colors. There is no risk of smearing or dripping different colors either.

All-Dark Colored Room gives a Cozy Feeling

Expansive and large rooms benefit from a dark, monochromatic look for the walls and ceiling as dark paint colors surround you in a large room making the space feel cozy and luxurious. Dark monochromatic colors tighten a space; so the bigger your room is, the more chance you have to paint the ceiling and walls a dark hue.

Light Monochromatic Colours make the Room Spacious and Airy

Lighter shades, like whites and neutrals, open up a room, making it look bigger. The more natural light these rooms receive, the more spacious it feels, because they reflect more light. 

Painting the walls and ceiling the same light shade of color gets rid of the corners where the two meet. The crown molding should also be painted the same color for this to work. However, keep in mind that painting your crown molding or trim the same color may cause it to lose its identity and decorative details.

Lowers the Cost of Painting

Buying paint in bulk is cheaper than buying individual buckets. With only one color to worry about, you’ll also save tons of money by saving the leftover paint for touch-ups in the future.

Creates an Empty Canvas for Displaying Furniture and Decor

When the room is painted all one color, you can easily highlight beautiful artwork and furniture against it as it creates a uniform backdrop. You can even contrast your furniture with a darker or lighter color according to the walls and ceiling.

Cons of All One Color Room

Overwhelming

Constantly subjecting your eyes to the same colors could feel too intense and leave you feeling overstimulated. A room painted all in one color can be overwhelming, especially if the room is painted a vibrant or dark color.

Monochromatic Neutrals could be Boring

While lighter neutrals can be calming and dark neutrals cozy and dramatic, sometimes they become too boring. If you prefer contrast and excitement in your rooms, a neutral monochromatic look might be underwhelming for you.

Lack of Contrast

Another problem with painting the walls and ceiling a matching color is a lack of contrast in the room. This not only makes the room look less interesting, but all the scratches, patches, flaws, and hairline cracks become more noticeable.

Best Colors to Paint a Room

All White

While some consider all-white paint to be the same old boring color, this color scheme adds brightness, making the room look warm and cozy, and works wonderfully with natural light. White also serves as a neutral backdrop for any decorative materials and furniture.

Dark Colours

Dark rooms - especially black ones - are becoming quite popular. An all-black room has a different kind of sophistication and drama, unlike the traditional all-white rooms and ceilings. If you like dark colours for your room but still don’t want it to be monotonous, try painting the crown molding with a contrasting color to break the space.

Light and Airy

Lighter colors don’t always have to be white. You can opt for lighter shades of peach, gray, yellow, and maybe off-white. You can also go for your favourite neutrals such as beige or tan. Light colors to paint a room make it look and feel bigger and spacious and naturally brighter.

Bright Blues and Greens

Painting your room with bright shades of blue or green will emanate a feeling of calmness and tranquility. Mix and match different tones of blue or green, or choose a single tone for the entire room. Blue's color spectrum ranges from teal to grayish blues, so it offers many design options.
