Not for me.

I would do a swap....dark ceilings are very oppressive.

It is beautiful but I know what you mean about student ceiling. I think it's the shade of blue for me.

I agree that the shade of blue is not right for a ceiling, it's coming through as quite bright on my screen, whereas I think these schemes are more successful where you "embrace the darkness". Another idea to use a dark shade in the room would be to paint behind the shelves as the dark colour would be broken up a bit by ornaments and books etc.

The ceiling is fab and all your colours work well so well done. You need to get your soft furnishings in and lighting sorted to see the whole scheme come together. Get the shelves filled and some depth in layers of furnishings.. you will soon realise you have done a fab job!!!

Meant to say ...you do need to hide or change the tiles. Depending on budget the cheapest and easiest way is probably a good tile paint. It can do done very well if you take your time and do several layers.

I like it! I think if you use the burnished red from the painting together with the green from the tiles it would all work really well. I would accessorise it all first, live with it and see. Worst case scenario and you still don't like it you can paint the ceiling a different colour

I'm a fan! I think stick with your vision. The blue won't be so stark once other colours and furnishings are in the room.

I also like it - it think the colour needs to be referenced more in the room than just the painting and I feel that a large rug that includes this colour will go a long way to balancing it out.

I think it's lovey so you need to tie the colour in with cushions lamps etc. Personally I couldn't live with the dark colour but I would suggest it for a client

It look fantastic - different is good! It does bring the ceiling down but that will be cosy in a living room. Go for it!

Beverly,
Looks fab. Check out our new project with a dark midnight blue ceiling. Looks taller, adds drama, defines an area, and provides a calm weight to the room. We also enjoy that the evening experience of the space becomes expansive - almost open to the stars. Go on with strong solutions.

Hi Beverly. The paint colours work together imo and I wouldn't touch the fire. The only bit I'm not sure of (but just in one photo) is the underneath of the top step. I might try (just using painted paper stuck up) is to do the top step in blackened and then alternatively try the lower one in the blue. I'd go to a shop that has an easy refund process and just pick up a thin rug which is easy to carry and lots of cushions in different colours, without worrying too much about the style at this stage and try them out. I like the blues and greens with the hint of mustard/gold (plus some plants!) but you could also add hints of coral which would work

I really like the blue ceiling. It's a brave move, but it looks great. And it makes your house your home. Gives it personality. I don't dislike the tiles with the blue. Not everything has to match. And as Minnie said, if you add a plant for example, you'll tie the green in with the rest of the room.

Are you changing the lampshade? I think that something that's visually lighter will look much better. Or at least a shade that has a different colour.

Yes changing the lampshade! Maybe something in copper (that way if I do still chicken out it will still look great!). Thank you for your feedback :)

It's a brave choice and breaks the boring white we are so used to. I agree with the comment about the lamp. Also I can't tell room height from the pic so may have somr concern about it feeling oppressive. however fab idea I love it. you could perhaps try a light fixing like the one I've attached it will give off some interesting patterns against the blue

I like the idea of having a blue ceiling. However, I'd probably go for something more subdued and use punchier colours on smaller surfaces.

Love ceiling colour. Minnie's colour choices show how tiles will work with your artwork. I'd choose mcm lighting rather than glass or chandelier style but obv personal choice.

I like it

I like it; I did the coving between the picture rail and ceiling in mustard yellow. Everyone thought I was mad when I suggested it but it looks good

Please don't paint over those lovely tiles!

Hi, I love that you've made a brave colour choice for the ceiling, looks fab. When you've got all your furnishings and accessories in it should pull the whole scheme together. Personally I'd be tempted to bring in more blue by painting behind the shelves in the alcoves, just think the colour will show off any objects better. And I agree with the previous comment, don't paint the fireplace. I actually like the black, it helps to ground the space. If you don't want to stick with the green tiles you could make some simple panels that just slot over the top of the existing ones. Some tiles on plywood for example, in burnt orange/ copper colours to match your painting.
