Spotlight: Colorful Ceiling Inspiration from Arcadia

LAST DAY TO ENTER THANKSGIVEAWAY #2!!!!

Hello! I'm Joanna, a writer for Arcadian Lighting, a terrific online source for light fixtures for every decorating style. Some color-timid decorators shy away from using bright hues on the walls. Can you imagine being brave enough to paint your ceiling vivid orange or using bright floral wallpaper? Some decorators are doing just that with great success. We're loving the innovative way some of these rooms turn out!

A whimsical cherub amongst lilies and lily pads top off a vintage kitchen. A lack of upper cabinets keeps the kitchen from becoming crowded or feeling smaller.

A geometric pattern on this low ceiling gives an optical illusion. White on the bed and ceiling make the color on the walls pop.

A floral wallpaper adorns the ceiling of this small bedroom. The layering of so many textures could have been too busy, but it works well here!

A silver flocked ceiling makes a dramatic statement in this bright orange room. Modern furnishings, textiles and art blend well with the ornate traditional feel to the room.

A dramatic ceiling gives this traditional setting a sophisticated contemporary feel. The unusual lighting fixture might have looked odd but it marries the formal feel of the room with modern furnishings.

An outdoor room is finished with a Moroccan tile ceiling in shades of blue and yellow. A large light fixture goes with the opulent feel of this room beautifully.

So...what do you think about vibrant, boldly colored ceilings after these little pieces of inspiration?
