Light scatter from the ceiling and side walls will definitely ruin the contrast of your projected picture. I painted the walls of my screening room a darkish beige,the walls were previously white. This made a significant improvement. But I was still getting a lot of light scatter from the white ceiling. I did not want to paint the ceiling black because I wanted to retain a cozy ambience in my cinema, and I thought a black painted ceiling would make it look like a tomb! So, I made up several 2ft x 4ft rectangular frames of 1/2 ins x 3/4 ins wood strip, and covered them with black and burgundy felt cloth, suspending the frames from the ceiling by small hooks and eyelets. The frames are extremely light indeed, and present no load at all on the ceiling. I can tell you Paul that this made a HUGE improvement in the projected picture quality. And, I think the panels are quite attractive and add to the cinema like ambience of the room.
