Most new houses have a textured finish on the ceiling. To have a painted ceiling costs more because the drywall and taping have to be that much better. If you are lucky enough to have a smooth finish, it can lend itself to many kinds of decorative finishes.
A very good book from the UK called "The painted ceiling" by Graham Rust will open up a whole new world of what to do with that other wall.

Trade secret # 8 Painting a ceiling
I just added some info about this subject on my site http://www.mercuryminc.net/, that's on page three of trade secrets.
Usually you should ask a professional painter with experience painting ceilings to give you a quote. If your ceiling is textured or not they are not easy to paint.
Most should be painted with a flat latex, although kitchens and bathrooms can be finished in eggshell or even semigloss.
There are some good washable flat latex paints on the market also.
