Ceiling surface decoration technologies

Give the answer to the question: what color to make the ceiling? It will not work if you have not yet chosen the technology of finishing the ceiling surface. Therefore, the discussion of the palette should not start with the analysis of one or another color of the ceiling, but with the consideration of options that are available for ceiling decoration.

Among the great many technologies for arranging the ceiling, the following are the most popular:

1. Traditional ceilings. The first technology that comes to mind is a traditional solution for ceilings. The ceiling ceiling is thoroughly plastered and put down to obtain a flat surface for the future finish. Interior paint, white, stucco molding, wallpaper or decorative plaster can be used as a material for decoration. If you do not consider white, then you can make a ceiling of almost any shade, because today the assortment of colorful plasters and colors is truly limitless. You can make the ceiling and walls of the same color, you can make them contrasting in relation to each other, or apply a drawing and application on the overlap.
2. Dropped ceilings. The next method of designing the ceiling is to arrange a suspended structure. This technology makes it possible to install the frame on the ceiling overlap, which is subsequently lined with drywall sheets. Further, everything happens as in the first situation: you can finish the surface with decorative plaster, you can paint, you can glue the wallpaper. The main difference between suspended ceilings is that they have an almost perfect surface for finishing.
3. Modular ceilings. It should be separately reminded of such a variety of ceilings as modular structures, which consist of individual elements that do not require plastering or coloring. First of all, we are talking about ceilings from plastic panels and rack ceilings. In this case, the color of the ceiling is determined by the palette of the ceiling panels. On the one hand, there is no need to mess with the coloring of the paint, but on the other hand you can not find the right shade. In addition, colored panels are a little more than ordinary white varieties.
4. Stretch ceiling. The last way to finish the ceilings, which must be said, is the installation of stretch paintings and, of course, primarily polyvinyl chloride. Such material is presented in a wide spectrum of colors that make it possible to make a selection of almost any combination of walls and ceiling. The situation is with a color variety of cloths on a fabric basis is a little worse, but here you can choose a more or less suitable shade.

Psychological effects of color ceiling

When choosing colored floors, the psychological effect of color on the state of households should be taken into account. That is why it is so important to think in advance what color to make the ceiling, because if you make a mistake when choosing a color scheme, then later this ceiling will annoy you quite hard, and maybe cause a depressive state.

Let's look at what colors affect a person’s well -being and mood. The most common and, of course, the traditional color for ceilings is white. This color goes well with any other tones, because it does not attract much attention to itself and is a sign of freshness, novelty and purity. Remember that it is best to use white ceiling in rooms where the finish is made in dark colors, as it will make them bright.

If you opted for a white stretch ceiling, then keep in mind that it is not recommended to equip it in rooms with light walls, although it will expand visually the space, but will also cause an association with the hospital ward. When designing children's and living rooms, you should not use a white tone due to the fact that he will add excessive severity to the room.

The ceilings are often decided to arrange in cold colors: blue, purple or blue. If you select soft and bed tones, then this will visually significantly increase the space, thanks to this the ceiling will seem higher than it is actually. The blue ceiling helps to relax, so it is appropriate in the bathroom or pool, but also causes drowsiness, and is not permissible for working spaces.

A delicate purple ceiling is perfect for the living room, because it develops creativity in people and perfectly stimulates the flow of vital energy. If you do not know what color to paint the ceiling, then you can opt for blue, such floors are best suited for the bedroom, rest rooms or nursery, since this color is able to cause calm and peaceful mood.

Brown overlapes are often chosen for cabinets, because this color creates a feeling of constancy and stability. But brown ceilings at home are rare, since many people are associated with old age.

To stimulate mental activity, green, red, yellow and orange colors of ceilings are suitable. Such tones are beautiful for decoration of floors in the kitchen, in negotiations, offices, children's rooms. It will be useful for you to find out that the yellow color symbolizes joy, orange optimism, green harmony, pink relaxes, and red - excites and stimulates.

Choosing a color scheme for the ceiling

We have already said that today you have the opportunity to arrange the ceiling in almost any color scheme. But still, a certain combination of colors will be appropriate only in specific conditions. Therefore, in such a thin question as a selection of ceiling color, it is recommended to adhere to some rules:

1. The lower the room, the lighter the ceiling should be, and the darker it is to make the floor. The shade of walls is something between these colors, then such an optimal combination of walls and ceiling will increase the height of the room visually.
2. In houses with a disproportionately high ceiling, the situation is opposite. The dark shade makes the ceiling below, while the room ceases to be perceived as a large well.
3. In the rooms with windows that are constantly in the shade of trees and extend west or north, the color scheme of walls and ceiling should be sustained in bright and warm shades. The sunny yellow or orange ceiling will not let you sharpen in the cold season, and in conditions of constant lack of natural light, you will feel much comfortable.
4. The ceiling in the rooms that go to the south side can be made colder. Make the ceiling of a bottle-green or turquoise color, and then in the room even in the July heat it will be cool.
5. If you want to decorate the walls and ceiling in one range, then remember that it is not recommended to use a matte ton and shades, since the room will merge together. In this case, it is necessary to use reliefs that visually distinguish the space.
6. If your room has vaulted ceilings, then you can paint them in brighter colors, for example, green, which makes the rest more interesting, it symbolizes growth and harmony. If this is a living room, then you can use purple tones of poets and philosophers.

Well, now you should analyze which color of the ceiling for a particular room in your house.

Ceiling in the hallway and corridor

The color of the ceiling surface in the hallway is quite important, since it is from this room that all guests usually begin to get acquainted with the apartment. Therefore, when decorating ceilings in the hallway, it is preferable to use light colors - sky blue, white, beige. A similar color scheme will make the hallway more spacious, and the ceiling itself will not put pressure on an incoming guest. Also, a monophonic light ceiling can be revived with a drawing, and it doesn’t matter whether it will be applied to the stretch panel, or drawn on the ceiling itself.

Ceiling in the bathroom

With the choice of the color of the bathroom ceiling, everything is much easier, since in the houses of the old buildings, colored ceilings were traditionally made in these rooms. Of course, the choice of color scheme depends on the design of the room itself, but the following shades are usually used: blue, blue, pale green or turquoise. All these shades fit perfectly into the most common for the bathroom, the interior design of the sea. If you want to equip the bathroom in other colors, then remember that you still have not come up with anything better than a white ceiling, so you can sheathe an overlap with white plastic panels.

Ceiling floors in the kitchen

In the kitchen, the ceiling is an excellent field for experiments. Also, by adjusting the flowers of the ceiling in the kitchen, you can even control the appetite. If you have a predisposition to fullness, and you want to tightly control your diet, then in the kitchen the ceiling is better to withstand in blue, light green or blue, as these combinations depress appetite.

If you have problems with appetite, or you do not want to limit yourself in food, you should choose an orange or yellow ceiling. And if you add thematic applications (vegetables, slices, fruits) to this, then in such a kitchen even the most modest breakfast will be perceived as a huge feast. If you have small children, it is better not to make a multi -colored ceiling in the kitchen, since a large abundance of the baby’s colors will constantly distract from eating, which can subsequently lead to problems with appetite and malnutrition.

Ceilings in the children's room

The choice of color scheme for floors in the children's room has the same features with the selection of color for the kitchen ceiling, that is, you should take into account the psychological effect of the color scheme on your child. In the children's room, the bright gamut of the ceiling is preferable. Heavenly blue, white, beige - it is these colors that must be considered in the first place.

For an easily excitable baby, the ceiling must be decorated in a calm gamut. If in the nursery you install a dark blue stretch fabric, and even in the form of constellations, and highlight LEDs, then in this case the baby will fall asleep quickly and calmly. And so that the ceiling is not boring, it should be decorated with interesting accessories - suspended decorations, stickers, lamps.

But in the children's room, you can safely use a brighter palette in the ceiling. Yellow and orange shades will make it possible to increase vital tone and give the tenant energy. When choosing coloring compositions for the ceiling in the nursery, it is necessary to pay attention to their marking. The best option is when paint is specially designed for children's institutions and rooms.

Ceiling in the bedroom

Despite the fact that today the interior design is welcoming a combination in the decoration of ceilings of the most daring solutions and different colors, the bedroom is still the place in which multi -colored ceilings are practically not found.
And this, of course, is correct, since the main function of the bedroom is to ensure a good rest. Therefore, do not think for a long time in what color to paint the ceiling in the bedroom, and do this: do this:

• In the bedroom, the ceiling should be plain with an unobtrusive image. It is in this room that fabric ceilings in pastel shades look great-pale pink, beige, milky white.
• In order for you to feel comfortable in the bedroom, the ceiling should not be quite high. But if your ceiling is as follows, then it is better to opt for the use of darker tones.
• For the bedroom, a dark blue ceiling is considered a winning option.

Now you know how to choose the color of the ceiling. This is very important, since the selected shade of the ceiling is able not only to arrange all important accents and emphasize the advantages of the interior, but at the same time improve the well -being of people in the room, as well as raise their mood.
