considering The walls will be a medium dark willow Creek by Benjamin moore? vanity, mirror and small chandelier are whitish, floor is white so I really think its gonna look better all one color rather than a light ceiling but I need reassurance. :/

    I think I can visualize it, but pictures would help.

    I like non-white ceilings. I generally go with a color a bit lighter than the walls. When I googled BM Willow Creek, it showed a couple of colors that go well with it. I would use Gray Owl for the ceiling.

    How high is the ceiling? What color is the door? Is there a window? The amount of light in the room will determine if you can get away with such a dark ceiling.

    Since the room isn't big, you can paint it all one color, and change the ceiling if you hate it.

    How about a complimentary color? BM has Willow Creek with Woodcliff Lake, which is a GORGEOUS color. How about painting the ceiling in Woodcliff Lake?

    If you're unsure...paint a piece of poster board first and tape it on the ceiling to see how you like it....leave it for a few days before you decide.

    As we speak, I'm having my guest bath ceiling painted the same color as the walls, SW Antique White. I have a south-facing window in the tub alcove and my ceilings are 9 ft.

    When I had my entire interior painted 5 years ago, I chickened out in the first couple of rooms and had the ceilings painted white. It looks okay, but you see a white ceiling. In my hall and open space living area with vaulted ceiling, it would have been weird and difficult changing colors so I had it all painted the same. I love it. It envelopes the rooms. The light often makes the ceiling look lighter or darker. Sometimes the intersecting planes just disappear. That's my favorite look.

    I say go for it and if you hate it, repaint it. I hate painting ceilings. :)

    For comparison, in decent light, here are my wall and trim colors. The ceiling of my bathroom used to be the same white as the trim.

    Today the bathroom got painted, walls and ceiling the same color as the wall above. The shower alcove still needs to be tiled and the only light is from the south-facing window, which you can see at the very bottom of the following photo. It's hard to believe every surface is painted same color. The most accurate are the side walls. But if I didn't know better, I'd say the ceiling was painted white. So glad I went all the same color.

    We did it in a very light color. Actually this is the 2nd time we did it in this bathroom.

    I love how it makes the ceiling/wall demarcation lines disappear.
