Do I keep this golden ceiling?

[Smorgs]

This is not a joke, this is my actual kitchen ceiling.
We bought the house last year with the intention of redoing the kitchen, but now the time has come around to plan the new one, I find myself oddly sentimental about it.
I mean it's hideous obviously, but maybe with a matt black kitchen it could work? It's a good talking point at the very least.
What would you do?

Did you buy it from someone called L. Llewllyn-Bowen maybe?

I would have to keep it, it's so different.

At first I thought it looked hideous but it's grown on me already

This is a dining room but the colours look great together.

Black units would look tacky (and be a pita to keep clean) but matte navy would look amazing.

The white units that shifty posted with navy tiles and walls would look brilliant.

DH suggests getting a silver floor to go with it.

God it's awful obviously but I love it! Navy and cream would look amazing or the mid-century wooden stuff that someone posted. I couldn't get rid of it.

agentdaisy, that room looks amazing, but it does have the lovely dull-gold ceiling, rather than shiny-bling gold plastic-fantastic stuff that seems to be the OP's kitchen ceiling

Please come back to confirm what your ceiling is actually made of, OP, please I am begging you!

YES please keep it its great. Its the cupboards and the white walls that are bringing it down.... and the tiles. Im sure theres lots you could do to make it more tasteful but still keep the amazing ceiling. The ceiling is the best bit! I think black or at least some darker colours would work very well with it.

KEEP IT! Agree with navy to go with it

Anyone else wondering how/where to get a gold ceiling now..? Would it work in a hallway? 🤔

I wish I wasnt renting because I want to paint everything gold now :-(

Might look okay with a 1920s or a blue kitchen?

Please don’t follow the sheeples who say get rid of it.
It’s fab because it’s so so different.
I love some of the ideas people are coming up with.
Keep it, be brave and different!
It’s an amazing talking point!! And please please please post a picture of how it looks re vamped!!

I think you need a glitter ball or two in there, as a finishing touch.

Well who'd have thunk it, Mumsnet loves a gold ceiling!
I'm in the fan club too- keep it!!! Agree that navy is the way to go, unless it will make the ceiling look plasticky and cheapo, in which case not sure...

Actually, thinking about it, it would go with black units and a malachite worktop.

I love it.

I bloody love it. In fact I'm now googling gold ceilings. Dying to know what it's made of.

I think that's why I'd keep it too, it's just so different and unique. It would be a shame to paint over it. I'm not sure I'd build my kitchen round it, I think many units will go with it, but I'd keep it till I get properly sick of it. I would though get handless units.🤣

Handleless

No, rip it off, skim it and paint it matt white.

I’m imagining a kitchen like this with your gold ceiling

beargrass I think it would look absolutely fabulous in a hallway!!!
