Warm colours come forward in space andmake a space appear smaller whilst cool light colours appear tomake a space recede and seem larger.

This principle can also be applied to other areas within a roomand areas which feel out of proportion can be ‘visually corrected’ with colour. If a ceiling feels too high, a warmcolour can be applied to the ceiling tomake it feel lower. A light cool colour can be used tomake a ceiling feel higher than it actually is.

As an aside, ceilings are often neglected and are too often painted white which can be at odds with the rest of the scheme. Painting the ceiling in a harmonious colour to the decor adds interest.
