Ceiling design in the hallway
First of all, let's think about the color of the ceiling covering in the hallway. If the size of the room and its height leave much to be desired, the ceiling of light colors, coupled with a darker floor, will correct the situation. The extra height will be visually concealed by the dark shades of the palette.
Types of ceiling covering in the interior of the hallway:
- The suspended ceiling made of PVC panels has become very popular for decorating not only offices and shops, but also residential premises. Installation of plastic panels is very convenient for small apartments; they are usually used in the interior of the kitchen, corridor and bathroom. The material is affordable, durable, besides, if you install spotlights, it perfectly reflects light and visually increases the space.
- Plasterboard structures for the hallway are suitable if the height of the corridor allows you to remove about 10 cm. Installation is difficult, but if you try, you can install an exclusive multi-level ceiling that will transform any room.
- There is another actual version of the ceiling for the hallway - tension, its peculiarity is that it is fastened with a single sheet, without joints and seams, looks presentable and has a wide range of materials and colors. A glossy stretch ceiling will create the effect of a two-dimensional space, which is important for miniature corridors.
Living room ceiling design
The design of the ceiling in the living room is of particular importance, because this is a room in which we receive friends and family, it is very important to avoid defects during installation, and they are always in sight. It is necessary to try to ensure that the style of the ceiling is in harmony with the general style of the interior, it cannot be perceived only as a canvas, the function of dividing into zones and visually increasing the space is assigned to the ceiling. Based on this, material, decor and several types of lighting are purchased, one chandelier for a spacious room will clearly not be enough.
If you do not set complex design tasks for yourself, then you can limit yourself to a single-level ceiling, paint, plaster, plastic or metal panels, and stretch polyvinyl chloride canvas are used as the material. Suspended structures made of plasterboard will help to master more complex techniques and install a multi-level ceiling; various combinations with tension canvas or wooden beams are also popular, various moldings and stucco moldings will complement the composition. Do not forget that multilevel ceilings are appropriate in large enough rooms with a height of at least 2.5 meters.
Kitchen ceiling design
If we compare all types of finishing materials that are most often used in the interior of the kitchen, then 4 main ones can be distinguished, they are almost universal and, with proper installation, will successfully fit into any design:
- Painting is still not forgotten, a cheap and practical, albeit time-consuming, way to equip a kitchen, since now you can choose any color and texture.
- Stretch ceiling- a familiar and relatively simple way to transform any room, while grease and dirt are easily removed.
- Ceiling tiles will not hurt your pocket either, their choice is truly huge.
- With drywall, you can embody many of the most daring ideas.
Most apartments in typical high-rise buildings cannot boast of sufficient height and size, but there are tricks that will fix the situation. One of them is the installation of a ceiling that matches the color of the walls, here are some of the features of such a design solution:
- the border of the walls and ceiling will be erased, the kitchen will seem more spacious;
- focus on neutral light shades;
- in this case, you will have to abandon the dividing baguette;
- you should not buy bright furniture that would contrast with the ceiling and walls, it should be lost against the general background.
Bathroom ceiling design
Speaking of choosing a ceiling for bathroom, experts recommend opting for stretch ceilings. A canvas made of polyvinyl chloride has a number of advantages, one of which is water resistance, such a ceiling is not afraid of leaks, besides, PVC is not susceptible to fungi and mold, and a wide selection of colors and textures will be a solution for any design project.
Factors that affect the choice of a ceiling for a bathroom:
- General condition of the premises.
- Conceived interior design. Before embodying your ideas, contact the specialists or browse the photos of the finished bathrooms yourself.
- Determine the budget for the renovation, this is what will decide the issue of finishing, whether there will be regular paint on the ceiling or gilded moldings.
- The material of the ceiling covering depends on the ventilation device and the area of the room, because each of the types has different properties, including different moisture resistance. For a small room with a weak hood, a stretch and plastic ceiling is suitable, but wood, paint or fabric with poor ventilation is easy to spoil.
Ceiling design in the bedroom
A bedroom is a room, the main purpose of which is quality sleep and relaxation, and after waking up we first of all see the ceiling, which is why it is so important to make it as comfortable as possible.
And again, the leading position when choosing a ceiling in the bedroom is taken by stretch canvases. Do not be afraid that they will harm your health, modern technologies allow you to create an original and safe interior.
Which stretch ceiling to choose for the bedroom?
- Glossy PVC canvases with a mirror surface reflect all objects in the room. If you install the right lighting for the bedroom, it will visually increase, which is why owners of small apartments so often make their choice in favor of this option.
- Matte stretch ceilings are the exact opposite of gloss, they absorb light well and are suitable for any interior. Matte canvases have a rough surface and imitate the effect of a painted coating. They are the perfect complement to a calm design, creating a cozy and homely atmosphere.
- Satin stretch ceilings are a cross between gloss and matte surface, in certain lighting they reflect objects and go well with any style and design.
- Textured stretch ceilings are usually made two-level, they look original and expensive, they can imitate various materials, silk, marble, velvet, etc.
Ceiling design in the nursery
To the ceilings in children's room special requirements are imposed, because the materials for them should be not only original and bright, but also as safe as possible for the baby's health. Most of them meet the high demands of parents. But which version of the canvas to choose so that the child is pleased to be in the room is the second important question.
Suspended structures made of gypsum plasterboards allow you to create an unusual ceiling that will set the mood for the rest of the design elements in the nursery. With the help of this material, you can divide the space into a play area and a training area, and install complex lighting. Multilevel designs give room for imagination, fancy flowers, clouds, sun and even an airplane will appear in your child's room as if by magic.
A stretch ceiling with a pattern is another interesting design option for a nursery, but take a responsible approach to the choice of pattern. Give up the image of cartoon characters, it is likely that in a couple of years the child will change his preferences. The size of the image and its color should not "put pressure" on the psyche.
