An attractive finish does not have to be intricate in shape; you can create an amazing atmosphere through a combination of shades, unusual textures, original lighting - the number of solutions tends to be infinite. To understand exactly what kind of result can be expected in the end, it would be a good idea to look at completed works implemented in different rooms.

White ceilings

Snow-white color is one of the key options for decorating a space. It serves as an excellent background, allowing you to emphasize the expressiveness of the decor and decorative details, combines perfectly with other colors, and fits organically into any style.

The whiteness of the coating visually increases the space and gives a feeling of cleanliness. The unique configuration and texture add variety to the laconic design of snow-white floors and can become an elegant decoration. Photos of suspended ceilings in a classic matte design demonstrate their versatility and relevance when decorating solid executive offices, elegant living rooms and cozy bedrooms.

The ideal option for suspended ceilings for the bathroom

PVC sheets for rooms with high humidity are one of the best cladding methods, characterized by environmental friendliness, reliability, and high aesthetics. The stretched surface will protect against the formation of fungus and leaks from above, and will hide utility lines.

An extensive palette is one of the main advantages of polyvinyl chloride panels. Studying the proposed combinations and ideas will help you elegantly fit a cover into a bathroom with photo printing.

Combined ceilings – plasterboard and suspended

The combination of these two types of finishes provides ample opportunities to create installations of different shapes and sizes that can be harmoniously introduced into any interior style. In addition to aesthetics, materials also have a functional purpose: they have great strength and a long service life. The technology of their installation allows not only to perfectly level the ceiling plane, but also to place layers of sound and heat insulation, electrical wiring, and ventilation ducts in the space between the ceilings. The design provides for the installation of built-in lighting of various modifications.

There are a huge number of stylish examples of the design of suspended ceilings and plasterboard. With their help, you can transform any home, make it bright, individual, and achieve certain visual effects: increase the height of the walls, put accents on individual zones.

Glossy canvases

The choice of texture type is very important and is accompanied by a number of difficulties at the finishing stage. Floors with high reflective properties are an excellent opportunity to visually expand the space and make it expressive. This ability can be used where there is little natural light: on the north side of the house, in a hallway or hallway.

A wide range of shades gives free rein to any creative experiments in both residential and public buildings. The shiny surface is combined with other types of materials, matte or satin panels, and can be printed with photos. The option with a white glossy stretch ceiling in an interior with furniture of the same color and texture looks fresh and airy.

Two-level structures

New finishing materials have made it possible to change the design methods of the ceiling surface. Two-level systems are an unlimited imagination for constructing installations: in several planes, with complex volumetric figures, spectacular lighting methods, with non-standard color or texture solutions, including such unique coatings as carved or translucent canvases.

The number of tiers depends on the architectural features of the home, the general concept of decoration and designated areas. The photographs of suspended ceilings manufactured by Prestige-tm, given as an example, clearly demonstrate their aesthetic appeal.

Examples of nursery design

The most colorful room in the whole house is the children's room. Today, the configurations of ceiling systems are simply mesmerizing. Installation technology provides an endless variety of suspended ceiling options for children's rooms in the form of level compositions with original lighting, expressive elements, and rich designs.

When planning the arrangement of a room, it is worth taking into account that a child’s preferences change dramatically with age. Designers suggest choosing finishes with neutral themes and soothing colors, or, if parents are not afraid of the prospect of an upcoming renovation, feel free to embody fantastic scenarios.

For the hall

Photos of suspended ceilings for the hall, shown in our gallery, may help visualize the design or become a generator of new ideas. Coatings have their own specific characteristics, and therefore require careful consideration of all the details of the composition. Even at the design stage, you need to take into account the area, height, style, and then the interior will turn out to be holistic and harmonious.

It is important to carefully approach the choice of texture and color palette - not only the type of room, but also how comfortable it will be to spend time in it depends on them. Modern technological capabilities are amazing; they are capable of transforming space beyond recognition, breaking its usual geometry.

Design of suspended ceilings in the living room

The living room is the central place in the apartment, the most spacious room. Among our projects there is a suitable solution for a living room of any size and style. From a simple perfectly smooth white canvas to complex designs, from elegant classics or luxurious empire style to casual loft or dramatic art deco, from sophisticated romanticism to minimalism. Fabric and PVC surfaces have a wide variety of colors and textures, thanks to which they can fit into any design object.

In a combined kitchen-living room, by placing ceilings at different levels or using different shades and textures, you can visually separate the dining area from the cooking area. The transition can be almost imperceptible, streamlined, or, on the contrary, accentuated.

Ceilings for apartments

The installation of intricate interior structures has long been no longer associated with something special, not intended for decorating an ordinary apartment. Glossy or matte, translucent, mirrored, with photo printing or unusual texture, fabric and film coverings of various colors can create a unique and, at the same time, cozy ambiance.

Each room deserves a separate approach to design. So, for a spacious bright room one option of suspended ceilings can be chosen, for a small dark hallway - another. The PVC panel is suitable for use in places with high humidity, while the fabric performed well at low temperatures.

In a studio apartment, you can use geometric shapes to highlight separate areas, or you can cover the ceiling plane with one canvas. This technique will visually expand and lighten the interior.

Modern stylish room

Decorating the ceiling is an important part of the finishing work. Its design must correspond to the general style and individual characteristics of the environment. Textile and polyvinyl chloride materials fully meet the requirements of high-quality modern repairs. They are practical, beautiful and allow you not only to create a current exclusive design of a living space, but also to visually change its proportions: increase the height of the walls, expand an overly narrow corridor, or make an overly spacious living room more comfortable. Using mirror coatings, the correct arrangement of levels, and lighting, you can create the illusion of perspective.

We recommend choosing a panel sample when a project has been drawn up that takes into account all the characteristics of the installation site. It would also be a good idea to study the photos of suspended ceilings posted in our gallery.

Hallway/Corridor Ideas

Decorating the interior of the hallway and corridor is not an easy task due to poor layout and lack of natural light. These shortcomings can be corrected using various techniques. The same color for the ceiling and long wall surfaces will blur the boundaries between them, thereby increasing the small area. Light shades and glossy textures also work successfully to expand space. You don't necessarily need complex shapes or bright colors to create a beautiful frame.

An interesting solution would be to install various lighting systems. The backlight can be set pointwise or to artistically highlight the transition between levels. Often it is the unusual design of the stretch ceiling in the corridor and small hallway that serves as their main decoration.

Comfortable and practical finishes for the kitchen

Vinyl linens for the kitchen are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also practical: they are resistant to temperature changes, leaks, and can be easily washed from soot or grease. The installation of such ceilings greatly simplifies even major repairs. And they look neat, modern, original.

Currently, the variety of shades is so great that it is sometimes difficult to make a choice. It should be borne in mind that the ceiling cladding should not contradict other elements of the furnishings. We hope that our photos of suspended ceilings for the kitchen will serve as the basis for implementing non-standard solutions.

Matte means elegant

Matte canvases are available in two types of materials: based on polyvinyl chloride film and polyester fabric. Both options for suspended ceilings look solid, and any color looks restrained. This finish brings a calm, soft atmosphere. It will become an excellent frame for a classic interior, hide its shortcomings, and highlight its strong points.

The coating has no shine, so it is perfect for applying high-definition designs. The white panel looks like a surface with high-quality expensive plaster. Dark shades look noble, filling the room with charm.

Lighting is the most important tool for shaping space

Lighting is a key element of ceiling design, influencing its perception. Illumination can be central, additional or combined, as well as external or built-in. The starry sky theme can be realized by installing bundles of fiber optic threads connected to the projector.

An impressive method of electric lighting is internal lighting laid behind a translucent material. No less interesting options: placing the LED strip in levels, along the boundaries of shaped compositions or along the perimeter of the room.

Design of suspended ceilings in the bedroom

A relaxation room typically provides a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. In order for the interior to look harmonious, the ceiling should be a logical addition to the rest of the decoration and its decorative elements. Multi-level designs for the bedroom allow you to combine colors, textures, and repeat the details present in the setting. However, even with the simplest solution, the panel stretched over the frame has a solid and impeccable appearance.

The appearance of the bedroom also depends on the interior lighting. Unusual lighting acts as a multifaceted tool for creating the right mood.

Texture is an important property of paintings

Color, texture and their combination have a mutual influence on the perception of the room as a whole. In addition to the popular matte, satin, and glossy ones, manufacturers provide many interesting textured panels: with optical illusions, with imitation of finishing stones, pearls and mother-of-pearl, various fabrics, metal, exotic animal skins, leather, suede.

Such coatings are a kind of balance between traditional design and excessively detailed decor. They will perfectly complement the interior with plain, smooth walls.

Choosing a suspended ceiling option is a difficult question. It requires an understanding of how to correctly combine their textures, how to organically fit them into the existing environment. To do this, you can consider ready-made projects or contact a designer.

Printing is a great way to escape the ordinary

Photo printing can turn any apartment into an art object. The print can be applied to a fabric or film surface, over its entire area, or only in a certain part. Matte material is better than others for this type of finishing - the pattern is rich and clear. The frescoes look beautiful and realistic on it. The reflective texture contributes to the feeling of more voluminous, free space. Abstract images will look great on it. The background can be not only a white cloth, but a colored one and even a black one.

The design of stretch ceilings with printing is not a simple decoration, but a fascinating art.

Color mood

It would be wrong to underestimate the impact of color on humans. Each shade has its own special properties and characteristics. It is advisable to select the color of ceiling coverings taking into account the intended use of the room, the nature of the owners and their preferences, as well as the degree of illumination. A competent approach will allow you to correct the shortcomings of space.

An extensive palette is one of the undeniable advantages of the canvases, providing ample opportunities for combining them. Using the example of a photo of suspended ceilings made by our craftsmen, you can see which colors should be taken as “allies”.

Stucco molding

Allows you to create an individual ceiling space and make it different from all the others. Stucco molding is considered an indicator of good and refined taste.

Skirting boards

They not only perfectly mask the gaps between the wall and the ceiling, but also give the tension product a more complete and thoughtful look, make its design much more interesting and favorably emphasize and shade the canvas.

Stickers

Quite an original design option that allows you to quickly and easily update the room. Decorative stickers will help embellish any interior and turn the ceiling plane into a real work of design art.

Choosing a ceiling shade for each room

The choice of shade for a colored ceiling depends on the functional purpose and size of the room. Light colors are the best option for small spaces. They visually raise the ceilings and increase the volume. Dark ceiling coverings will help to visually reduce the size of the room.

Important! When choosing suspended ceilings in a color palette, remember that under the influence of natural or artificial lighting under the ceiling surface, the canvases can change their original shades. For example, blue or blue colors become noticeably darker, while green and red, on the contrary, become lighter.

Ceiling covering in the nursery

For a nursery, it is better to use calm light shades or neutral tones on the ceiling that will not draw too much attention to the child. By combining different surfaces and colored stretch ceilings, you can visually divide the room into zones, highlighting places for relaxation, study, and games. You can install ceilings in children's rooms of different colors, on which images of cartoon characters or fairy-tale characters are applied. Recommended shades are blue, green, light blue, pink and purple.

Ceilings in the living room

Most often, the living room is the most spacious and multifunctional room in the apartment. When decorating your interior, you don’t have to limit yourself to one color scheme; you can use any shades. If you decide to give preference to a plain ceiling, consider its compliance with the style of the interior. For example, for the classic direction, cream, blue or beige shades are usually used. Modern design will be emphasized by a brighter palette of red, blue, and emerald tones.

Bedroom ceiling color

In such rooms, the walls and ceiling should be decorated with calm, light colors that will soothe and set you up for a good rest. The best option is various pastel tones. A contrast of several colors in a small room will not look very appropriate. It is better to choose different shades of the same primary color. The main thing is that the ceiling fits organically into the style and complements the entire interior.

Ceiling in the kitchen

For the kitchen, designers recommend using glossy coatings with good reflective ability. Such a colored ceiling, where interior items will be reflected, will make the room colorful, visually increase the volume, and add color. The shade of the ceiling surface should be combined with the color of the walls and furniture.

Bathroom ceiling color

Colored stretch ceilings are also suitable for the bathroom. But, in this case, it is better not to overdo it with the number of shades. If the room is small and has a window, the ceilings should be decorated with pastel halftones or white canvas with minor splashes of color. But for a spacious room, use any colors. They can be emphasized with the help of well-placed lamps or LED strip around the perimeter of the room.

Ceiling in the hallway and corridor

If you decide to install colored stretch ceilings in these rooms, consider the following nuances:

• hallways usually do not have windows, so it is better to make the ceiling in light pastel colors;
• a very popular way to decorate the ceiling space in the corridor is a combination of chocolate PVC film and white sheets of plasterboard;
• Use glossy surfaces as the main canvas material, which will visually expand the hallway, raise the ceilings, and make the room voluminous.

Original forms

With the help of such original solutions you can add style to the entire room.

With sloping ceilings

Quite often, tension fabrics are used to decorate the attic. These designs make it easy to decorate such a ceiling located at an angle and give the attic space coziness and comfort.

With transition to the wall

This transition will undoubtedly make the design truly individual and unique. To decorate the wall and ceiling plane, you can use either the same colors and textures or completely different ones.

With niche for curtains

With the help of a niche, it is possible to create an effect as if the curtains are coming down directly from the ceiling. Thanks to this design technique, it is possible not only to obtain the most functional and unusual interior, but also to visually increase the height of the room.

In a room with a bay window

Tension fabrics perfectly highlight the bay window and make this geometric protrusion even more expressive and attractive.

In the room with the letter G

A perfectly flat and smooth surface with a sufficient number of lighting fixtures will make it possible to competently emphasize and play up the L-shaped shape of a given room.

Choosing a colored ceiling for rooms for different purposes

What colored stretch ceilings should be in the bathroom or living room? This question is relevant for everyone who has decided to give preference to this finishing material. Let's look at the most popular solutions:

• Kitchen - these rooms are rarely large in area, so you should give preference to glossy stretch ceilings. The dining table, reflected on their surface, will create additional color for the room. Glossy ceilings will visually expand the room, and a romantic dinner will be filled with additional colors. The color scheme should be in harmony with the color of the furniture; warm shades are perfect for this room;
• Hallway - traditionally this room does not have windows and it is recommended to choose colored stretch ceilings in light shades for it. The wallpaper and furniture used will be of great importance for the specific color choice. Ceilings should be several shades lighter than the walls;
• Living room - all family members gather here and the optimal solution would be a multi-level ceiling made of film in 2-3 contrasting shades. It is better to give preference to glossy ceilings, combined with wallpaper and the color of the furniture;
• Bedroom - the ceiling in this room will always attract the eye, for this reason it is best to opt for a satin surface. The color scheme should be calm and have a beneficial effect on the human nervous system. The best choice is a beige, blue, lilac shade of stretch ceiling film;
• Children's room - in this room it is better to use colored matte stretch ceilings in shades such as orange, beige, light blue, green or yellow. An excellent solution would be a combination of several colors; they will distract the child from monotonous activities: watching cartoons or playing on a tablet. The nursery should not have ceilings of dark shades;
• Bathroom - suspended ceilings for this room are the best choice, since many other materials have a negative attitude towards high humidity. The room is quite difficult for designers, as it has traditionally small dimensions and a large number of white objects with chrome parts. You should not use a glossy ceiling to visually expand the room; steel parts and white household appliances will be brightly reflected in it. It is better to give preference to satin ceilings - they will not visually make the room smaller, but they will not annoy you with bright reflections. The color of the ceilings should differ by several tones from the shade of the ceramic tiles on the walls of the room.

Traditionally, when making a final decision, you have to choose between ceilings of 2-3 different colors. If the ceiling height allows, then you can make a multi-tiered structure and use all the options. Many colors go very well together: gray with blue, red with white, beige with yellow, blue with a burgundy tint. You shouldn’t give up combinations that have become classic. These are black and white, yellow and blue, orange and green colors of suspended ceilings, which are easy to match to interiors made in a wide variety of styles.

A well-chosen combination will create an atmosphere of coziness and comfort in the room, in which you will want to stay for as long as possible.

Lighting for stretch fabrics

Various types of lighting devices allow you to create high-quality and harmonious lighting in the room, and create a stylish and modern design.

Chandeliers

A classic and almost irreplaceable decor option. Chandeliers provide excellent diffused lighting at any time of the day.

Spots

They perfectly complement the ceiling and give it a special flair. They can emit directional light or rotate and have varying degrees of illumination intensity. With the help of spots you can play with the atmosphere in space.

With light bulbs

By changing the shade, a certain direction, scattering or refraction of light, light bulbs create interesting lighting effects and form an original design.

Backlit

Illuminated models will undoubtedly add color and style to the atmosphere, and fill the space with glare.

With spotlights

Soffits provide bright, high-quality light, while they look very compact and do not overload the surface of the ceiling. With their help you can create a comfortable and cozy environment.

Spotlights

They allow you to place accents in the room and highlight its functional areas, as well as significantly improve the level of illumination.

The photo shows a small living room and a light beige stretch ceiling with spotlights.

Interior ideas

Depending on the color and texture, stretch ceilings can harmoniously fit into any interior. This is not only fashionable minimalism or hi-tech - they also look harmonious in classic rooms, oriental and Scandinavian styles, artsy modern or colorful pop art.

Stretch ceiling in the corridor or hallway

The corridor and hallway are the first thing that catches your eye in a new house, its calling card. At the same time, these are often small and cramped rooms in which there is a catastrophic lack of lightness and light. Glossy mirror ceilings do this perfectly.

Stretch ceiling in the living room

The hall or living room is the heart of the apartment. You can safely experiment with unusual creative solutions: photo printing, multi-tiered structures, hidden lighting, colored LEDs or luxurious chandeliers.

Bright accents are good in a large room, while neutral pastel colors are good in a small room. Reflective gloss visually enlarges the room. Plasterboard structures with spotlights around the perimeter of the living room look interesting.

Stretch ceiling in the bedroom

Delicate pastel colors, delicate textures and matte or satin surfaces are especially good in the bedroom. Do you like bold and extravagant solutions? Then pay attention to the glossy finish.

Do you want unusual accents? Look at stretch ceilings with a light pattern or even a starry sky effect. With the help of thoughtful lighting it is easy to create a “real space”.

Stretch ceiling in a children's room

Decorating a nursery is always a holiday, but also a lot of difficulties. Materials that are easy to install or replace are especially valued. And here stretch ceilings win again.

Remember your child’s favorite cartoon characters and experiment with photo printing. And when the baby grows up, together update an inexpensive and simple stretch ceiling.

Stretch ceiling in the kitchen

In work areas, the strengths of suspended ceilings are fully revealed. For example, in the kitchen, the film hardly gets dirty and is easy to clean, does not absorb odors and does not collect condensation.

To remove stains or grease, all you need is a soft sponge and soapy water. And the bright and rich colors of the canvas create a good mood, awaken the appetite and add color to your daily routine.

Stretch ceiling in the bathroom

The film is not afraid of dampness and moisture, unlike drywall and most building mixtures. Therefore, the suspended ceiling in the bathroom will not swell or deform over time.

The mirror surface will visually enlarge a small bathroom, but splashes and stains remain on it. If you don’t want to waste time on this, then choose matte films.

Ceiling decoration in various styles

Photos of the most popular style solutions.

Modern

Laconic stretch models with minimal decor, clear lines and shapes, fit perfectly into a modern, comfortable and functional design, and organize a space filled with light and air.

Loft

A simple and clear ceiling design without unnecessary flashy decor will perfectly emphasize the atmosphere of an open space in the loft style, which does not tolerate complex structural and intricate elements.

The photo shows a beige satin stretch fabric in a loft-style living room.

Classic

Tensile structures of perfect, strict and symmetrical shapes in neutral colors are especially suitable for this incredibly cozy and spiritual classic trend.

Provence

Canvases in delicate, sun-bleached tones would be appropriate here. They can also be decorated with wooden beams or stucco, which will especially enhance the homeliness, coziness and warmth of French Provence.

Oriental

A stretch product with an oriental-themed ornament applied to it will be an excellent addition to the Chinese, Japanese or Indian style. The patterns on the ceiling will highlight the stylistic and cultural features of this direction.

Modern

A ceiling of smooth shapes, decorated with beams, stained glass or unusual stucco, will undoubtedly attract attention and become an integral part of Art Nouveau.

The photo shows a kitchen-living room in Art Nouveau style and a suspended ceiling decorated with stained glass.

Eco style

For this simple and natural eco-style, designs with a matte, calm surface in light shades are suitable.

Baroque

Rich and luxurious Baroque or Rococo can be decorated using tensioned models decorated with gilded baseboards, stucco molding, frescoes or any other elaborate decor that is inherent in these style solutions.

The photo shows a stretch ceiling with photo printing in the form of a fresco in the living room, made in the Baroque style.

High tech

Rational high-tech can be decorated with products with clear geometric shapes, simple vertical lines and right angles; they should have a smooth surface in a pure color scheme without halftones.

Sea style

Designs in light colors can give the marine direction even more freshness and lightness, and create a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere in the room.

Ceiling design in an apartment

Khrushchevka

The ceilings here are usually very low. Depending on whether the floor was screeded, the height of the ceilings can be greater - this is 2.40 m. Naturally, it can be problematic to design a suspended or suspended design for low ceilings, given that they steal up to 10 cm in height. However, this can be done, especially if there are no serious defects on the actual surface of the ceiling.

To design low ceilings in a Khrushchev-type apartment, it is best to choose a mirror or glossy surface.

Modern new houses

Everything here is much easier compared to the previous option. The main thing that needs to be taken into account here is that after a couple of years the building will sag a little, and this may to some extent affect its geometry. But for this purpose, arrange the ceilings with a small “margin”. Any hanging or tensioning systems would be appropriate here.

A private house

In such housing, the issue of heat insulation very often comes to the fore. Therefore, the material chosen for the design of the ceiling must have thermal insulation properties. In private houses there are very high ceilings, the design of which can be decorated with very original stretch or suspended ceiling structures.

In general, choose, decide, act. We hope that our advice will help in resolving your home improvement issues.

• Special breathable models are best installed in wooden houses.
• The choice of material and texture primarily depends on the room in which this design will be used.
• When choosing the color of the ceiling covering, you need to take into account the size of the room in order to make its parameters more harmonious.
