Two-level suspended ceilings in the bedroom interior

Stretch ceiling in the bedroom is often installed. It is popular for its strengths. Among them are quick installation, easy care, a long service life, a variety of shades and shapes and visual appeal.

This type of decoration helps to create a stylish interior and a unique atmosphere of comfort. It depends on him how comfortable the stay in this room will be.

Types of stretch ceiling

The main parameter for classification is the material used to make the canvas. This is a PVC film or fabric. Both options have their own characteristics.

Textile products have appeared recently. They are a material impregnated with special compounds that extend the service life.

Of the advantages of this type of ceiling, there are:

• absolute safety for humans,
• breathability
• lack of seams during installation (roll width about 5 m),
• resistance to temperature changes,
• Simple and quick installation.

Plus, fabric paintings are suitable for any interior, regardless of the style in which it is decorated.

There are only 3 drawbacks of products:

• requires frequent cleaning
• absorbs odors
• high price.

Film ceilings also have their pros and cons. They are made of polyvinyl chloride. Available in rolls up to 2 m wide. They are distinguished by a variety of textures and colors.

Cloths made of PVC film have many features:

1. Moisture resistance. When flooding, the material is able to hold water for several days.
2. Low price.
3. Quick installation.
4. Does not absorb odors and repels dust.
5. Easy care.
6. It is possible to remove and reinstall the canvas.

Both film and fabric ceilings can successfully hide the wiring and surface imperfections.

Another parameter for separation into types is the appearance of the canvas.

• Glossy stretch ceiling is made of PVC film. It reflects the light, so that the bedroom visually becomes larger and higher. Suitable for creating starry sky, perforation and canvas with photo printing.

• Matte ceilings in appearance resemble surfaces covered with ordinary plaster. They do not reflect light, which helps to create a cozy and calm atmosphere. These canvases are most often painted in delicate pastel shades. Suitable for creating multi-level structures.

• Satin canvas. They combine the properties of the two previous types of suspended ceilings for the bedroom. According to their characteristics, they are similar to fabric products. They produce a faint shine, and also often change color depending on the direction of the light.

Other parameters for classification are the number of levels in the ceiling structure and its shape.

Advantages and disadvantages

Installing suspended ceilings in the bedroom has many advantages. The first is external appeal. This is especially true for film canvases, which are known for a variety of shapes and colors (more than 200 shades).

Practicality is another advantage. Even after several years of operation, the canvas will not lose its original appearance. It is easy to look after him. Moreover, the process does not depend on the material (fabric or film).

Also advantages include:

• simple installation
• lack of dust during installation,
• moisture resistance
• long term of operation.

Stretch ceilings in the bedroom have a number of disadvantages:

• poor air circulation
• the probability of sagging
• low environmental friendliness for canvases made of PVC film,
• it is easy to damage the material with sharp objects, champagne cork or even detergents, which contain abrasive particles,
• the coating may catch fire. Flammability is higher for film ceilings than for fabric ceilings.

Another drawback is the expensive finish. At the same time, a fabric canvas is much more expensive than a film.

Color of a stretch ceiling for a bedroom

When choosing a shade, you should follow a few simple recommendations from designers:

1. For low rooms, a light canvas is suitable. It looks particularly impressive with wood flooring.
2. High bedrooms recommend a dark ceiling.
3. If the windows are located on the north side, it is better to give preference to warm colors. Conversely, for rooms with windows facing south, cold tones are more suitable.

If necessary, you can zoning the ceiling into separate sections, each of which has its own color.

In the bedrooms, small in size, the design decorated in one scale looks beautiful. In this case, the shades should smoothly transition from dark on the walls to light on the ceiling.

It is worth noting that each color in its own way affects a person. There are a number of illustrative examples:

• Red stimulates, increases blood pressure.

• Orange has the same effect as the previous hue. Moreover, its predominance in the interior negatively affects the general well-being of a person. Designers recommend mixing orange with other tones.

• The yellow color of the ceiling has a good effect on brain function and vision, and also activates the nervous system.

• All shades of green relax.

• Blue and blue calm and soothe, which is especially useful for the bedroom. But they are not recommended for use in small rooms.

• White ceiling is considered the best option for the bedroom. It harmoniously fits into any style, be it a classic, empire or high-tech. It gives a feeling of freshness and is not annoying.

The design of a bedroom with a black ceiling is becoming more and more popular. It looks extravagant and unusual. Suitable for creative people who are constantly busy looking for inspiration.

Stretch Ceiling Design

The appearance of the interior depends on many factors. Among them, the size of the bedroom and the preferences of the owner of the apartment or house. The overall style also plays a role.

In view of this, when choosing a design of suspended ceilings, you should adhere to such recommendations:

• In the bedroom of the correct geometric shape to establish a single-level design. With the help of highlighting or bright accents to highlight the bedside zone.

• For a high room, a two-level stretch ceiling is suitable. It looks especially beautiful in a bedroom that has an irregular shape. The interior can be supplemented with original decorative elements or unusual lamps.

• If dimensions permit, install a sloping ceiling. It reduces the height and visually increases the length of the room. This type of design looks good in bedrooms with a classic interior.

Lighting options

With backlighting, as well as with color design, you can give free rein to imagination. It is usually used for zoning a bedroom.

4 sections are conditionally allocated:

• Bed. Here, spotlights with the ability to adjust their brightness are suitable. If desired, they are replaced by 2 sconces. They will appeal to those who love to read before bedtime.

• Wardrobe. A good option is the backlight inside the cabinet or niche.

• Dressing table. Requires the installation of several spots located directly around the mirror. They will not blind eyes.

• Desktop. The lighting system is equipped with a table lamp. Alternative - LED or fluorescent lamps.

It is noteworthy that competent design allows you to create unusual effects: a soaring ceiling and a starry sky. In the first case, an LED strip is needed, it is placed around the perimeter. In the second, you will need a canvas with photo printing or a panel with the image of the starry sky, which is usually located above the bed.

There are other backlight options:

• the lights on the sides make the dark ceiling lighter
• a narrow streak of light visually increases the height of the room,
• translucent canvas scatters light well and makes it possible to create unique and inimitable designs.

The original design solution is a floor mounted backlight. With its help, you can effectively distinguish individual zones or objects, for example, indoor plants.

Stretch ceiling for a small bedroom

The interior of small-sized rooms has a lot of features, ranging from coloring and ending with the choice of lighting.

There are several examples:

1. It is better to choose not a matte, but a glossy canvas. It reflects the light, so that a small bedroom visually seems larger.

1. Another option to increase the space is to install a matte ceiling with glossy inserts. They are made out in the form of a rhombus or square.

1. You can adjust the shape of a narrow elongated bedroom using separate sections that differ in color.

1. A box in the shape of a rectangle decorated with photo printing or an unusual print visually expands the narrow room.

The image of the sky on the bedroom ceiling gives a feeling of the immensity of space and freedom. Moreover, it does not matter what it will be: day or night.

Lighting a small bedroom is different. It is equipped using one dimensional chandelier located in the center, spotlights (built-in or overhead), LED strip. The latter is installed on the picture frames or around the perimeter of the mirrors.

Features and Benefits

First you need to decide on the very concept of "stretch ceiling." This design is a large canvas made of PVC film or fabric made of polyester yarn, which is pulled onto the frame.

Two-level hinged structures have a fairly large number of advantages over other types of ceilings:

• First of all, it should be noted the fact that their installation does not require additional preparation of the surface base.
• These systems are fireproof, lightweight and very durable, they are completely non-toxic, as they have no smell at all.
• From a practical point of view, they are incredibly convenient, since above the structure you can easily hide various wires for chandeliers and lamps, as well as other communications. Due to this advantage, sloppy ceiling seams can also be covered.

• Tension systems are not susceptible to mold or mildew, they retain water in the event of a leak and can recover after they have completely dried.
• Using a two-level stretch panel, you can easily divide the space into several zones. Auxiliary details here will be light sources or LED strip.
• Modern manufacturers offer a wide range of colors and textures, as well as many other ways to decorate the ceiling of the bedroom so that you feel even more comfortable.

However, this type of ceiling has some features that must be considered before choosing them for your home:

• For example, two-level tension panels have difficulties with installation, since it is very complex.
• The design itself, despite its strength, can be easily damaged by a sharp object.
• Compared to other options, this one has a high price.
• For lighting, you will have to use lamps with reduced heat, so as not to damage the surface of the ceiling.

By type of web surface

In total there are three types of panels: glossy, matte and satin. Each has its own characteristics that are characteristic only for him:

• Glossy. This species has another name, which is also perfectly applicable to it - varnish. For the price of such ceilings are the most expensive. The cloth creates a mirror effect in which 90% of the light is reflected, because of this, designers do not recommend installing chandeliers with a plate-shaped shade, since it will be reflected by a spot of light resembling a water puddle.

The big advantage of the glossy type is that it visually increases the space of the room due to its reflective shiny surface.

This property is especially important for small bedrooms, where the owners will be relieved of the peculiar pressure. Due to the variety of color palettes, you can create a very original and beautiful design that you will not find anywhere else. One of the most interesting examples of a glossy tensile structure is the “starry sky”, where the ceiling itself is made in blue tones, and the lighting is created using spotlights or an LED strip.

• Matt Unlike the glossy type, matte does not have reflective properties. In this case, white or gray tones are most often used. Due to its light roughness, this surface gives the impression of a painted ceiling.

Since the surface does not display any glare or reflections, here you can use any lamp to your taste, and thanks to soft colors, the bedroom will create a feeling of warmth and coziness. Another plus of this type is the affordable price.

• Satin This type of structure in terms of reflective properties is between the two of the above. It combines their advantages and virtually no disadvantages. The satin ceiling looks much more solid and softly reflects light, without leaving glare on the canvas.

This option has a smooth, silky surface, and perfectly complements the interior of any bedroom. Another advantage of satin in the interior is its full compatibility with both classic design and modern.

With the help of a competent combination of types of surface of the panel, you can perfectly divide the bedroom into several zones, and two levels of ceiling height will help to make the separation visually clearer and more explicit.

The main advantages of suspended ceiling systems

The essence of the stretch ceiling is simple: an elastic film (PVC) or polymer fabric is greatly stretched and mounted on a pre-installed metal or plastic profile.

Stretch ceilings will help add light to the bedroom, create a cozy atmosphere.

Advantages of suspended ceiling structures:

1. Practicality. The canvas will hide cracks and spots on the ceiling. There is no need to prepare the surface for facing work. After installation, the surface becomes perfectly flat.
2. Profitability. There is no need to hide communications, pipes, wires, ventilation. They are masked by stretched fabric.
3. Durability. Suspended structures regularly serve a minimum of 10-12 maximum - 50 years.
4. Quality. Modern paintings do not fade under the influence of ultraviolet rays. Do not fade and withstand any temperature. Do not accumulate static electricity, do not ignite.
5. Lack of joints and seams. Sizes of a standard roll - from 1.3 to 5.1 m in width. A competent installer will design the system so that there is no seam on the ceiling.
6. Elasticity. The film protects from the neighboring flood or the current roof. It is gradually stretched, not passing water. There are cases when the surface sags almost to the floor, holding tens of liters of water. In this case, installers are called to pump water through special technical holes.
7. Simple care. A special impregnation that repels dirt is applied to the fabric. The flow only occasionally needs to be wiped with soft, non-abrasive products. It is forbidden to use products with vinegar or any acid.
8. Aesthetics. A variety of installation options, colors and textures suitable for any style of interior.
9. Lighting. Tensile structures are perfectly combined with classic lamps, modern energy-saving gas or LED lamps.
10. Heat and sound insulation. Achieved thanks to the air gap.
11. Easy installation.The ceilings are pulled in 3-4 hours, there is no debris during installation. The profile frame is attached to the walls or to the ceiling.

Such ceilings can turn a standard room into an unusual space.

Note! The fabric surface is advised to wash once every six months. PVC - once a year.

An additional advantage can be considered a wide range of prices. From the cheapest available to any family (white matte types) to expensive multi-level fabric designs.

To choose the right stretch ceilings in the bedroom, you need to clearly imagine what effect you want to achieve.

Drawbacks of Stretch Ceilings

The flip side of the coin is doubts about the environmental friendliness of PVC. During the period of active dissemination of new technology, disputes on this topic did not subside. To date, experts have spoken in favor of coating safety. It is less environmentally friendly than natural materials, such as wood. But the content of harmful substances in the coating does not affect the environment, is in the range acceptable for humans. This is confirmed by relevant studies, documents and sanitary certificates.

If you have a room with low ceilings and a small window, you can make it lighter and higher using glossy white ceilings.

Additional Information! The history of stretch webs begins with Ancient Egypt. Once the emperor threw up a goblet of wine, and a spot remained on the ceiling. The manager ordered the servants to cover the problem area with beautiful cloth. And gave life to the decoration, known since then at different times in different countries. Fabric as ceilings was also used in Ancient Rome and Armenia.

Multilevel ceilings will make it possible to organize space, realize interesting lighting schemes, create unexpected effects.

Cons of suspended ceilings:

1. The film can be damaged by impact or the impact of a sharp-cutting object. Therefore, to finish the walls, after installing the ceiling, should be more careful.
2. In a spacious room you will have to use two rolls of coating. A weld seam will appear on the material. The two parts of the film are connected using high-frequency welding, so the seam is durable, but it can be noticeable.
3. A stretch ceiling takes 3-4 cm of space, which is critical for low rooms. If you use mini baguettes (trims) during installation, the loss is reduced to 1.5 cm.

Too large a room can be made more comfortable and chamber, if you use a matte stretch fabric of dark shades.

Attention! 1 sq m of PVC film withstands 100 l of water. After pumping out the liquid, the film can be dried and installed. The fabric after flooding becomes worthless, it will have to be changed.

The advantages of the cladding prevail, so stretch ceilings gradually displace the finish with paint, plaster or wallpaper.

When installing any ceiling, precious centimeters of the height of the room are “eaten”.

Choose the type of stretch fabric

It is sometimes difficult to choose a stretch ceiling in a bedroom. Which is better, matte or glossy? The main thing is that the atmosphere created by them contributes to a comfortable rest. Consider the main types of paintings and their characteristics.

If the ceiling is single-level, the loss will be five to seven centimeters, the ceiling of three levels will “take away” twice as much.

Glossy Ceilings

Glossy or lacquered canvas has a shiny reflective surface. The degree of reflection is up to 90%. It looks beautiful and visually increases the area of ​​the room, "raising" the ceiling. It should be noted that evening streetlights and neon signs will also be reflected on the varnish surface. Dense curtains will have to be provided for the bedroom.

The glossy stretch ceiling in the bedroom is sometimes called lacquered - its surface has a very high reflection coefficient.

Attention! The darker the color of the ceiling, the better the bedroom environment is reflected in it.

A rich palette of glossy canvases allows you to realize any design ideas. If you wanted to hang a mirror in the bedroom, then the glossy finish can replace it.

A wide room with low ceilings becomes visually twice as high if a glossy ceiling canvas is used to decorate it.

Frosted ceilings

An ideal choice for lovers of the classics. The matte surface resembles plaster in texture, it is slightly rough. This decoration does not reflect, but dims the light and street lights, which brings an atmosphere of peace and tranquility to the relaxation room.

Matte stretch ceilings look great in the bedroom - a classic option, suitable for all, without exception, interior styles.

Stretch ceilings in the bedroom photo illustrate suitable colors. Yellow and its shades fill the room with warmth, and beige or gray look interesting and stylish. If the glossy type of canvas looks better in calm, muted colors, then matte looks great in color.

Such a ceiling can be made in any color.

Satin and Suede Ceiling

An intermediate option between a mirror and opaque cloth. Its distinctive feature is a delicate mother-of-pearl shine, which gives the bedroom a soft glow.

Satin ceilings look like ordinary matte ceilings, but their surface is more silky.

The fabric imitating suede has a velvety surface. Great for bedrooms, used in combinations of textures.

Ceilings with photo printing

Want to create a bright, original interior? Pay attention to the stretch ceiling with photo printing for the bedroom. Photo printing is applied in odorless safe ink. Drawing - absolutely any, even photos from the wedding.

The color of the ceiling should be in harmony with the other colors of the interior of the room.

• image of a starry sky, space or sun with clouds,
• reproductions of famous paintings,
• pacifying landscapes.

Drawing should have a positive effect on the psyche.

It is important that photo printing be an element of a seamless interior, go well with walls and furniture.

Fabric stretch ceiling

The design of fabric cloths does not differ in variety, but they look noble and more natural than PVC. Manufacturers offer materials of neutral pastel colors, creating a calm, cozy space in the bedroom.

Design must be selected taking into account the preferences of the owners of the room.

When installing polyester textiles do not use a heat gun, it simply attaches to pre-prepared trims. The material is durable and resistant to low temperatures.

Designs of suspended ceilings in the bedroom

The listed options can be combined by linking various elements into a single concept. With the help of modern technology, two-tone glossy and matte, fabric and satin surfaces are combined.

Two-level ceilings

Stretch two-level ceilings for the bedroom in bewitching photos are amazing. Unique designs in two or three levels look spectacular and visually zonate the space. They are used to separate the relaxation area from the study, wardrobe or library.

In the event that the room is quite large, two-level stretch ceilings in the bedroom will help visually highlight the functional areas.

Two-level ceilings with different lighting scenarios can become a real architectural masterpiece. They are made stretched or mounted, using drywall.

Stretch ceilings with lights

Modern false ceilings with lighting in the bedroom allow you to mount lamps of any shape and size. They should be energy efficient and give off some heat. You can use an incandescent bulb, but with a capacity of not more than 60 watts.

In such cases, levels located at different heights can differ in texture and color.

Note! The fabric is more resistant to heat. PVC when exposed to more than 60 ° may turn yellow or lose elasticity.

The layout of the fixtures should be thought out and drawn in advance. This is necessary for proper installation. First, fixtures for fixtures are mounted in the main ceiling, then holes are cut out for them in the finishing material.

Additional information: Halogen and incandescent lamps should be placed at a distance of 30-40 cm from the ceiling surface.

A big plus, especially for classic interiors - the lack of glare, crushing attention.

For a stretch ceiling use:

• Spotlights,
• chandeliers
• LED strip
• raster lighting devices.

An exotic option is also possible - small lamps that create the effect of a starry sky.

Choose the color of the ceiling in the bedroom

The color of the ceiling is chosen, guided by personal preferences and the style of the interior. It is important to consider the psychological point:

• white and blue are soothing
• purple stimulates vital energy
• green, orange and yellow stimulate mental activity.

Such a ceiling is perfectly combined with any other colors, gives a feeling of cleanliness, visually increases the space.

Stretch ceilings will last for many years, so it is important to make the best choice!

Advantages and disadvantages of the tension system

Among the indisputable advantages of suspended ceilings, the following can be noted:

• before installation, special surface preparation is not required,
• two-level systems allow zoning the room,
• a large selection of shades and textures,
• it is possible to install LED strip and fixtures on the canvas, which allows you to create the necessary lighting in the room and zone the space
• fire safety
• long service life
• low weight
• the ability to hide wires and communications,
• odorless, do not emit toxic substances,
• not susceptible to mold and mildew,
• able to retain water, after discharge restore their previous shape without any external defects.

Among the shortcomings of suspended ceilings:

• high price,
• easily damaged with sharp objects
• complex installation of two-level structures,
• luminaires with reduced heat dissipation are needed.

Satin

Satin surfaces are a cross between matte and glossy. The canvas is smooth, silky, looks much more interesting than matte and there is no such a large mirror effect as a glossy one.

On the satin finish there is only a soft, diffusing luster, which is ideal for sleeping areasdecorated in any styles.

Interestingly, depending on the changing lighting, satin stretch ceilings also look different.

By type of material

The material for two-level stretch ceilings for the bedroom can be of two types: fabric and film:

• Tissue. Such a material is considered more durable, since it is made of polyester fabric, which significantly increases its price. To use this type, you will have to underestimate the ceiling by 1.5 centimeters. Fabrics are produced with imitation of a variety of materials, such as satin, suede, velvet, etc.

The fabric is less susceptible to heat from lamps than the film. You can paint this design manually, which looks very nice or you can create an original print that will give your bedroom an exclusive look. But unfortunately, the choice of colors for the fabric type of stretch ceiling is less in comparison with the film, which for some may be a drawback.

• Film. This type of ceiling design is more economical and has increased moisture resistance. The surface here can be any, but the installation process here will be much harder and will take longer. The film sheet underestimates the main ceiling by 4-5 centimeters, depending on the desired location for the wires.

This type has a very wide range of colors, among which any customer can easily find an option to taste. There are canvases that have two or more colors, the so-called options with soldering.

In the case of a film cloth, it is necessary to choose a lamp with special care, since its design is susceptible to damage by pointed objects. Therefore, it is recommended to buy chandeliers without sharp protrusions.

When choosing one or another type of material, one should also focus on the area of ​​the room being repaired, since the width of the panels is limited, and if the fabric has a width of 5 meters, then the film is only 2 meters. Therefore, if you are the happy owner of a large bedroom, a fabric ceiling rather than a film ceiling is more suitable for you.

How to choose?

When creating a ceiling design, you should focus not only on your own taste, but also on some expert advice that will help you make a better and better choice.

Since the purpose of the bedroom is relaxation, not a fun pastime, the color scheme of the ceiling should be selected based on the action of each palette on the eyes, mood and general condition:

• For example, all blue tones provide calm, relaxation after a hard day and visual coolness.
• Greenish shades help relieve stress and relieve fatigue, and they are also recommended for people with low vision, as they have a beneficial effect on the eyes.
• Yellow color is recommended for “owls” who hardly get up in the morning, it provides vigor and a surge of strength.
• You can simply make a white ceiling, but give it originality with the help of interesting lamps and multi-colored lamps.

A feature of the two-level ceiling makes it possible to combine different colors, thereby highlighting the zone. For example, the bedside zone can be distinguished by a light blue tint, and everything that surrounds it is already blue. The same actions can be done with green and mint, yellow and canary, and so on.

The form

A two-level stretch ceiling allows you to give the room a zest and exclusivity, depending on its shape. As a rule, for a bedroom, a rounded or wave-shaped ceiling is chosen.

It is advisable not to overload and not to weight the tension panel in the bedroom with different elements, since this is still a zone for sleeping and relaxing. But wisely choose the type of lighting, the lamps themselves and the interesting lighting - it is very important.

Sources of light

For multi-level suspended ceilings, the installation of the following varieties of light sources is recommended:

• Small pendant lights in the form of individual points on the ceiling.
• LED strip.

It is undesirable to install chandeliers with decorative elements, because of which the lamps will be directed upwards, since when heated they can damage the ceiling. If the lamps at the chandelier are horizontal or still up, the distance from the upper border of the horn or other element to the ceiling is allowed from 11 centimeters, no less.

The number of bulbs depends on the area of ​​the bedroom and the prevailing color scheme. The luminaire body should not overheat, especially if it is in contact with the canvas. To ensure additional safety of the ceiling from heating, it is advisable to use LED or energy-saving bulbs. The permissible lamp power in this case is 35-40 watts.

For hinged ceilings, the use of a rotary type of fixtures is recommended, since they have less heating of the body and the web around it.

Often, to give the ceiling space originality, additional illumination is installed along the perimeter of the canvas, and its color may differ from the ceiling color scheme. For this, an LED led strip is taken, which can take any form and is equipped with small spotlights.

As a luminaire, an LED strip is used to highlight both elements of the tension system and other indoor zones with a light strip.

Options for highlighting a stretch two-level ceiling in the bedroom

The bedroom is a place that should have the most comfortable rest, distraction from the outside world and peace. When using a bunk stretch ceiling in a bedroom design, the room lighting should correspond to: not be too bright and intrusive. It is best to use neutral lighting, if you want to decorate the room, you can apply color. The presence of different modes will allow you to switch the glow depending on the time of day, which is very important in the bedroom.

In the construction of a ceiling of two tiers, several options for modern lighting devices can be used:

• LEDs and LED strips,
• neon ribbons or single bulbs,
• optical fiber,
• Spotlights,
• luminous cord duralight.

Standard chandeliers can be used as an additional light source. Each selected backlight element is securely fixed to a two-tier structure. The most common form of highlighting stretch ceilings are LED strips, supplemented by spotlights. Using several lighting options at the same time, it is possible to make zoning of the space or to emphasize certain interior elements.

An interesting option for combining lighting

The choice of lighting depends not only on the personal preferences and financial capabilities of the owner, it is important to consider the dimensions of the space, as well as the style of the room. Properly selected lighting is not only a way to influence the visual perception of space, but also the ability to provide an atmosphere of home comfort and warmth. When choosing a backlight for a two-story stretch ceiling, factors to consider:

• the benefits that LED lamps can provide
• safety provided by LED elements and spotlights.

Color highlighting should match the color scheme of the tension design. It is important to distinguish between the use of shades related to cold and warm colors. Lighting elements can be placed on the ceiling in the form of different geometric shapes, asymmetrically or in a straight line. The backlight gives the ceiling volume, as if lifting it in the center. The inner glow will create an image of a light, "soaring" space. An alternative option for installing a stretch ceiling is to design a separate niche for lighting.

Starlight highlighting is highlighted in a separate level.

Rules for installing two-level suspended ceilings in the bedroom

Installation of a tension structure - a process that requires compliance with certain rules, among which the main ones are:

1. To prepare a sketch of the future ceiling, especially for craftsmen without relevant experience.
2. Assemble the main frame. First, they determine the shape of the structure, perform drafts and attach to the ceiling. When installing a two-story ceiling, it is important to observe the sequence of connection and clearly measured dimensions. To give strength and extend the life of the main frame, it is made of a metal profile. The minimum distance from the ceiling to the lower tier of the structure is 15 cm
3. The next step is fixing the top of the structure. First, the ceiling is marked out, outlining the installation site of the tensile structure, then the metal panels of the profile are fastened and the process of laying drywall plates is completed. The distance between the profiles should be 30 cm.
4. Next, the lower part of the structure is fixed, the installation of which is carried out depending on the location of the upper tier. In the presence of curved parts, it is necessary to “fit” the profile to the appropriate shape. In order for the frame to be stronger, the guides are placed in the center, and the fasteners are made from the wall surface. The final stage is plasterboard casing and web tension.

To avoid installation errors, stripes are cut from solid gypsum boards based on sketches, after which the sheet is exposed to water, and the desired shape is formed from it.

Conclusion

To summarize, it is worth noting that you can endlessly look at amazing photos of suspended two-level ceilings for the bedroom, but to implement such a design, you must act. Using the above recommendations, you can install the stretch ceiling yourself, approaching the process responsibly.

Material type

Stretch ceilings can be fabric or film. The first type of material is more durable and, accordingly, expensive. When installing fabric tension systems, the ceiling will lower by 1.5 cm. The fabric can imitate satin, velvet, suede and other textures. Fabric webs have greater thermal stability than film.

As a decor, you can use any print or hand-painted. The choice of color solutions for fabric stretch fabrics is much lower than for film.

The stretch ceiling, which has a film as the basis, is characterized by a high degree of moisture resistance and is several times cheaper than fabric analogues.

But film canvases have disadvantages:

• laborious installation
• lower the ceiling by half a meter,
• deform at low and high temperatures,
• damaged by sharp objects.

Plain film coatings are the most common. Although you can choose options with a solder, where several colors are combined (from two or more).

For spacious rooms, it is better to prefer fabric coatings, since their width is 5 meters, and for film - only 2 meters.

Color schemes

Colored ceilings are gaining more and more popularity. Only 10 years ago, exclusively white coatings were used in the design of the apartment, but now this stereotype has become obsolete. Although white is considered a classic and always relevant, today designers are not afraid to use other shades.

The choice of color scheme for the ceiling of the bedroom depends on the taste of the owner. Conservatives are advised to prefer white matte coatings characteristic of the classic style.

Correctly placed lights will help to make the white ceiling stylish.. Dark stretch ceilings, even black ones that look very impressive, will suit more extravagant people.

Green and blue tones of the ceiling will contribute to relaxation, relieve irritation accumulated during the day. These colors will create a feeling of coolness indoors..

Those who wake up with difficulty, it is better to prefer the yellow color of the ceiling.

It is not recommended to choose orange, purple and red as the primary colors in the bedroom. Selected shades should be muted.

Canvas with a picture

Modern technologies allow you to create stretch ceilings with a pattern on any topic. The plot must be chosen so that it does not become familiar and not tired every other day. All pictures for ceiling coverings are printed on a plotter (special type of printer).

When choosing stretch ceilings with a pattern, you need to pay attention to the following points:

• type of coating: glossy, matte, satin,
• drawing dimensions: it can be fragmented or proportionate to the entire ceiling (in the latter case, the price will be much higher),
• Before making the final decision on placing the picture on the ceiling, you need to conduct a photo test (carried out for free), then it will be clear how the image looks in reality (if necessary, you can adjust the color of the picture and its resolution).

Eco-solvent ink is used to print the picture, which is odorless, dries quickly and does not emit compounds hazardous to human health.

Photo Coatings

You can create a unique style of ceiling cover by applying photo printing. The image can be selected starry sky, outer space, floating clouds, floral motifs, abstract drawings and others.

• printing cost
