I like to reflect colour on some ceilings especially if there is crown moulding (coving) which kind of frames it up. Especially bathrooms and children's rooms where l would also add soft clouds, luminous stars or anything that would make them happy. I also like to paint a dark coving around some white ceilings in a room with dark furniture or flooring.

Well, the interesting thing about the Swiss market/Swiss - the majority do not buy property (73-76% rent) and based on the properties we viewed, they aren't really all that bothered about interior design (many people may live in a house 20-40+ years without updating unless broken - sorry we are talking Swiss people in the middle class range - not the super wealthy!). As a result, you get some very modern/stark new build design slapped up next to a faux chalet up next to a wooden farmhouse next to a rather hideous 1970s bungalow. As for the interiors - things tend to last (solidly built - REALLY solidly built) and high-quality materials, if sometimes ugly. It is also PAINFULLY expensive to do renovation work (can run 2-4 times what you'd pay in US or UK for simple improvements and the selection of materials / options are limited unless you import). So, people generally price for the neighborhood, take what's in the house and live with it. Because many/most of the walls tend to be structural/load bearing (and made of 2 layers of brick or concrete with a layer of insulation) you just don't get a lot of weekend 'knock down the wall' projects. I think we will plaster in between the beams and leave the beams/support exposed (to stain/paint or not to stain shall be determined) - kind of like the pale grey-blue option, especially as we have a lot of skylights in the roof. At worst would put a lot of blue or grey into the white and maybe just re-finish the beams to tone down the orange/yellow due to aging. More fun stuff to come! Especially if we follow through on our threat to attempt to tile a bathroom/shower stall by ourselves....

Thanks all! looks like I've got a relatively even split of people who prefer the standard "walls colour + ceiling white" Vs an all colour. At the moment I am edging towards all colour - but mainly for the easier reason of no cutting in - I'm getting nervous enough of having to do this on a standard 2.4m wall that I could reach easily, let alone this 3.4m one at various awkward angles!

Thank you that's an excellent guide. I have signed up for your newsletter. When you purchase power tools do you trust Amazons reviews or do you use a power tools review site like thespruce or toolinspector.com to decide?
