My living room ceiling is about 35 m² and has some minor cracks and discoloration. I'm handy but have never painted a ceiling before. A friend said it's harder than wall painting because of the overhead work and drips. Should I spend a weekend on this myself, or is it better to hire a professional painter? What's the cost difference roughly?

Ceiling painting looks simple but is physically demanding and technique matters for a smooth finish. DIY risks include uneven coverage, visible brush marks, and wrist/neck strain. A pro will typically charge €800–€1,400 for your 35 m² ceiling, depending on prep needed (cleaning, crack filling) and ceiling condition. DIY costs you maybe €100–€150 in materials plus your time and risk of a patchy result. Most homeowners find it worth outsourcing unless you're very experienced.
