home theatre
jbgp1200 asked:


I am in th process of choosing paint for my deticated home theatre. I am going to use a really dark nuetral brown or maybe even a charchol color for the walls. Should I paint the ceiling the same color or should I paint it darker, maybe even black? I want to make sure that the wall and ceiling color do not reflect back on the screen during bright scenes. Any thoughts?

  1. Just as long as you use a flat (non-reflective) paint in a relatively dark color, it doesn’t really matter. It’s more of a style thing.

  2. If black is an option I would definitely go that route. As Jeff mentioned, be sure to use a flat or non reflective paint so that you won’t see a reflection of the screens image in your ceiling. That effect can be stunning as the lack of a reference point for a ceiling can really seem spacious when the lights go out. All part of the “suspension of disbelief” that you are trying to create when designing a theater.
