Ceiling decoration

Ideas for the design of the ceiling are as diverse as the amount of materials for finishing this surface in the room is large. Consider the most fashionable now options.

Whitewashing and coloring

Surprisingly, now again there is an interest in using in finishing the ceiling surface techniques such as whitewashing and painting. They are the most eco-friendly, give a beautiful effect and perfectly fit into some styles of design. So, this decoration will be irreplaceable, if you plan to leave beams in the ceiling design. Then these wooden constructions either are painted in some color, or they are covered with a varnish showing the texture of a tree, and the space between them is painted with compositions of a contrasting shade.

Also this finishing technique is suitable, when there is stucco molding in the ceiling design, which you want to preserve and demonstrate, and not hide behind stretch coverings. Ideal for painting and whitewashing and for the decoration of the ceiling in the classical style.

Stretch and suspended ceilings

The most popular option when decorating rooms in modern styles is the installation of a tension or hinged structure. Such ceilings look great, they serve for a long time, cables for lighting devices can be installed inside them, air conditioners or ventilation systems can be built. However, the tension and hinged systems are not suitable for the design of a very low ceiling, since their installation requires some space that will be closed beneath the surface. Usually it is 5-7 cm.

Multilevel ceiling design is especially suitable for living room and bedroom, and for other rooms it is better to choose single-level options.

Tile on the ceiling

The decoration of the ceiling with tiles was in the lead among the methods of finishing a few years ago, but now it is a little faded, although this finish is still successfully used in the design of the ceiling in the kitchen and in the hallway.

Now another trend is gaining more urgency - the use of hinged cassette systems, which also consist of different in size tiles, fixed on hanging rails. This is one of the types of suspended ceiling. It will look good even in small rooms, for example, you can try this system in the design of the ceiling in the bathroom. Especially beautiful look options in the grilyato technique.

Decoration of wooden ceiling

A variety of eco-styles can not do without the decoration of the ceiling with wood or various materials whose appearance imitates it. This design of the ceiling is suitable even for a nursery and will look good in any other rooms of the house or apartment. It should only be noted that in rooms with high humidity, the wooden ceiling will need to be constantly treated against the effects of moisture. Another nuance: the natural color of the tree is usually quite dark for the ceiling coating, and it does not reflect the light. Therefore, you should carefully consider the design of the ceiling fixtures, which compensate for this shortcoming.
