A good friend has a similarly colored room. Her ceiling is turquoise. It looks fabulous. Perhaps you could pick a turquoise shade out of your curtains.

I too was going to suggest a teal or turquoise.

Photo with natural daylight (overcast day) and flash.

Don't worry, the wall color doesn't look nearly as orange without the flash. IRL it's similar to the dark gold in the Simone fabric.

A paler version of the blue in that fabric would be great.

bbstx and Tibbrix, teal or turquoise probably would look amazing but I'm not nearly that brave. Even if I was, the ceiling is knockdown textured, which I'm not going to change. Not the kind of ceiling I want to call that much attention to.

I was going to suggest a lighter version of the blue in your fabric... sky blue... as well. I think you'd be surprised that it doesn't draw more, but less attention to the ceiling when it is 'furnished' with color.

I vote for the (very) creamy white. The blue or turquoise would be different and exciting, but one may tire of it after awhile.

I don't think I'd tire of a blue ceiling any faster than I tire of a blue sky.

Wow, yes to the turquoise! How fun!

Another vote for pale turquoise, ever paler than post above would b fantastic.

I agree with what other suggest; a pale, dusty blue would be great.

The blue looks utterly fantastic. The cinnamon is an assertive color and I think the blue stands up to it and calms it way down. With your fabric, it's awesome. I have some white ceilings and they look stark even next to ivory walls.

I think the white looks fine (the color it is now). The walls reflect on it and soften the white effect.

Someone here once recommended painting a pale blue on all ceilings, I've slowly integrated this as rooms have needed painting...LOVE it! It's subtle, people don't notice, but I do. (and can't remember who, but if "you" are reading, thank you!)

I like the white or the Hubbard squash. I like the idea of a creamy white.

I was all over the turquoise posted by Annie until I saw the Hubbard Squash which I like much better but to me it's still too much of a perfect match to the yellow in your (beautiful) curtain fabric. I would look at going one shade lighter than the squash. Of course this is my first post on the HD forum and I am no designer. So take my comments with that in mind. Going back to lurking mode now. ;)

OK, it took me a while to get up the nerve to try color on the ceiling then to test samples. Hubbard Squash was too peachy. I didn't try turquoises/teals because those don't fit with the rest of my house or the rug that will go in the office (cream, rust, navy, and olive). That left sky blues. After several samples and time spent lying on the floor looking at sample boards propped on top of the bookcase, I ended up using SW Open Air. Here's a photo of the work in progress. The blue looks a little more violet in the photo than in person. I'll post another photo after the room is all together but I like the blue ceiling better than the off white. Thanks!

Nice! That first stroke of paint is always the toughest!
