Dark entry ceiling
We are renovating our house and there is a dark sloping wood ceiling only in the small front entry area. My general rule is to never paint wood, but in this case the ceiling is so low, the wood so dark and doesn’t go with the light airy feel of the rest of the house. What do think, should we make an exception and paint it or leave it (I don’t like the white wash look).

Comments (9)Paint the inside of your door the white trim color, it will soften the space and make it seem larger. Add 2 large art pieces on the left wall and a larger vertical mirror on the right side. Paint wall color to match whatever color is adjacent to the space. Add a patterned rug with color to the walkway....See MoreWill my kitchen be too dark?
Comments (1)It's already a bit dark with all that wood. I would get the counter top that you love and add better lighting; I.e., pot lights in the ceiling and undercounter lighting. Good luck with your project....See MoreDark Bathroom

Comments (14)I would embrace the element, but I would get rid of the wood chips. I'm thinking back fist sized river rocks. Then I would get a tallish flowering tropical such as hibiscus and add a few ivy plants to grow between the rocks. Additionally, a small water feature might be nice. For me, the bigger problem with the entryway is the door. You have an obviously contemporary home, yet you have a -very- traditional door. I would want a wood door with some sort of art glass element in it. The wood would of course need to be stained to match the existing woodwork. The door will be some big bucks, but it would remain regardless of flooring changes. These two doors are not specific recommendations, but examples of the type of entry door I have in mind. Best wishes!...See More

4 years agoI like Decoro’s reference to the Frank Lloyd-Wright vibe. We are actually changing the front door to a solid wood, so could stain in a colour similar to the ceiling. Any ideas on styling because there are floor to ceiling louvres so suits a view straight through (we had a sideboard there before and it felt cramped.
