Options for an unusual ceiling design

You can apply many interesting design techniques to decorate the ceiling. But there are some technical points to keep in mind.

• For example, dies can be stacked in a straight line, spaced, diagonally or herringbone.
• The joint of the laminated board with other surfaces must be carried out using special connecting strips.
• It is better to arrange the perimeter of the room with a ceiling plinth.
• The ceiling can be fitted with beams, combined with other ceiling coverings and made in several levels.
• There are also large laminated panels, which are the most convenient to install.

Backlit

A ceiling lined with a laminate on a frame will allow you to hide wires and create several lighting options:

• linear,
• point,
• cornice.

Ceiling and wall design with laminate

The transition of the laminate from the ceiling to the wall is an interesting solution for harmonizing the space, highlighting the central piece of furniture and creating additional lighting.

Beam decoration with laminate

Some homes have beams or pillars that can add charm if styled correctly. One of the options is the facing of the beams with a wood-like laminate.

Duplex ceilings

Using drywall, you can create levels with additional lighting.

Laminate between beams

In wooden houses, beams are provided for by building codes and are ideally combined with the finishing material of the entire interior. But if you wish, you can recreate the atmosphere of the country style and install false beams. The laminate between the beams will create a wooden plank effect.

Combined

The ceiling does not have to be sewn up with one material. You can combine the laminate with drywall or apply stretch material in some areas. It will be interesting to look with a matte or glossy stretch fabric.
