- Two-Tone Approach
- Walls in warm mid-tone (greige or soft taupe)
- Ceiling in lighter version of the same colour or crisp white
- Creates visual balance without lowering the ceiling
- Accent Ceiling
- Paint the ceiling a deeper, richer shade (deep navy or charcoal)
- Keeps walls light for brightness
- Popular in modern duplex living rooms
- All-One-Colour Envelope
- Same soft neutral on walls and ceiling
