Painting ceiling/walls question
Permalink Closed

my hubby and I are under contract to buy a house!  We are very excited about it.  We want to do some painting before we move in.  In some of the rooms, the wall go up and there is a slope up to the ceiling...we wanted to keep the ceilings white and paint the walls....do we paint the slope?


Here is the kitchen...up above the cabinets on the left you can see the slope up to the ceiling...

Mmm, that's a tough call!


Honestly, I'd probably not paint the sloped sections and see how you feel about it.  If you like it like that, leave it.  If you don't, paint it!


This is all assuming that both the part of the slope that connects to the wall and the part that connects to the ceiling has an actual line that you'd be able to cut off the colors at.  If any 'break' at the wall and then just curve up to the ceiling, I'd not paint those.


Congrats on your house!

I wouldn't, it's part of the ceiling.

I wouldn't paint the slope, either.  It's a nice architectural detail, so leaving it white will make it contrast nicely with the color on the wall and really show it off.

Congrats!!  What area of OKC is the house in?


I probably wouldn't paint the sloped part bc it is part of the ceiling, but like elle said if you dont like it you can always paint it.

It is in Edmond....just west of Bryant off Danforth....the addition is Kingston.  My hubby works at the hospital in Edmond, and is on call every other week.  That way at least he is close (about a mile) if he has to go back and forth a lot.  And it is still close enough that I can use I-35 instead of the wretched broadway extension for my drive to downtown OKC.

I think it depends on the contrast between the ceiling and the wall color. If the contrast is high, it will look funny if the slope comes down and is the same color as the ceiling. But if the contrast is low, it won't. From the pictures, I probably wouldn't paint the slope to match the walls, as long as the walls aren't bright red or something.

Depends on if the slope is the wall material or the ceiling material.  Probably ceiling, so don't paint it.

I would treat the sloping part like it was the ceiling.
