[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my happy place.  Alas, my ceilings are not high enough to pull off richly painted color on trim.  I love it.  [/quote]

If you’re referring to the living room, do you mean the crown molding or the door casing and baseboard/wainscoting in the living room? If the latter, visually your ceilings will look taller painting the trim/baseboard (or wainscoting if you have it) the same color as the walls, even with rich colors. It creates a seamless transition vs. if your trim is, say, white with colored walls which tends to visually break the space up.. If you’re referring to the crown molding in the living room photo which is a different color than the walls, you could also paint it the same color as the walls and it would make your visually trick the eye into taller ceilings. If it’s the mud room picture you’re referring to where all of the trim, baseboard, crown, etc. contrasts with the walls, then you’re correct that tall ceilings are better suited for it since it visually creates a lot of breaks. But richly painted trim can definitely be pulled off with lower ceilings (and may actually make it look more spacious) as long as it’s in minimal contrast with the walls. [/quote]
