To choose the right stretch ceilings for the bedroom, you need to clearly understand what effect you want to achieve. If you have a room with low ceilings and a small window, you can make it lighter and higher using glossy white ceilings.
A room that is too large can be made more cozy and intimate by using a matte stretch fabric of dark shades. Multilevel ceilings will make it possible to organize space, implement interesting lighting schemes, and create unexpected effects. Let's consider in more detail the possible options.
Stretch ceiling options in the bedroom
By their design, stretch ceilings can be of three main types:
- single-level,
- two-level,
- multilevel (three or more levels).
When installing any ceiling, precious centimeters of the height of the room are "eaten up". If the ceiling is one-level, the loss will be five to seven centimeters, a ceiling of three levels will "take away" twice as much. This must be taken into account when planning a repair.
Sibling stretch ceilings in a bedroom of any size look stylish and modern. For small rooms and low ceilings, this is probably the best solution. Single-level models are suitable for any interior style, and compare favorably with other budget prices.
In the event that the room is quite large, two-tier stretch ceilings in the bedroom will help to visually highlight functional areas, for example, a reading area, an office, or the main sleeping area. In such cases, canvases located at different heights may differ in texture and color.
Complex multilevel designs that include three or more planes are used in large bedrooms when they want to allocate a sleeping area, to make it more intimate.
The texture of the materials of stretch ceilings in the bedroom
The material used for the manufacture of stretch ceilings may vary in surface texture. There are three of them:
- glossy,
- matte,
- satin.
Glossy stretch ceiling in the bedroom it is sometimes called varnish - its surface has a very high reflectance, comparable to a mirror - up to 90%. A wide room with low ceilings visually becomes twice as high if you use a glossy ceiling sheet to decorate it. The illumination also increases.
Look great in the bedroom matte stretch ceilings - a classic version, suitable for all interior styles, without exception. Outwardly, such a ceiling is no different from the usual one, it can be made in any color.
The reflective coefficient of matte surfaces is low, but they scatter light well, evenly distributing it around the room. A big plus, especially for classic interiors, is the absence of glare, crushing attention. In addition, this is the most budgetary option available.
Satin ceilings in appearance they are similar to ordinary matte, but their surface is more silky. The texture imitates natural fabric. Its reflectivity is higher than that of matte, but at the same time it does not glare and does not interfere with the perception of the interior.
It is possible to combine two textures in multi-level stretch ceilings - the part located directly above the sleeping area can be made of glossy material, and the rest of the ceiling - from matte.
Stretch ceiling color in the bedroom
When choosing a color, you must adhere to three basic rules:
- The color of the ceiling should be in harmony with the rest of the colors of the interior of the room;
- Color should have a positive effect on the psyche;
- The color must be selected taking into account the preferences of the owners of the room.
The classic version is white. It combines perfectly with any other colors, gives a feeling of purity, visually enlarges the space. However, in some cases, white can be perceived as too cold, uncomfortable, "official" color.
Blues, greens and pinks have a relaxing effect and are therefore well suited for bedrooms. Red, orange, yellow tones, especially bright ones, excite the nervous system, so they are usually not used in rest rooms. Brown shades can have a depressing effect on the psyche, just like black.
Designers also advise taking into account the influence of color on the perception of the room as a whole.
- In a low bedroom, the ceiling should be light and the floor dark to "add height."
- Too high ceilings are best done dark in order to avoid the "well room" effect.
- If the windows face north, warm colors are preferred for the ceiling, and vice versa.
- Small rooms can be finished in a single color, but the shade should change from darker at the bottom of the room to lighter at the top.
- It is also worth using embossed skirting boards to divide the space.
In addition to monochrome color ones, you can use stretch ceilings with photo printing in the bedroom, which allows you to create exclusive interiors and make the most unexpected fantasies come true. The choice of patterns applied to the canvas for stretching is practically unlimited. However, it is worth considering that over time they may get bored, and then you will have to change the ceiling, which is quite costly.
Bedroom design with stretch ceilings
This type of ceiling can be used in almost any style - all that remains is to choose the right type of canvas. Below we give the correspondence of types of ceilings to different styles.
- Classic. Matte or satin white canvases, as well as ecru, ivory, cream, milk, cold snow shades. You can use both single-level and multi-level ceilings, but preference is given to monochrome options.
- Modern. Matt canvases in clear colors, matching the range to other interior elements. Use simple geometric shapes to create ceilings at different levels.
- Minimalism. Typically white matte or glossy ceilings. Contrasting with respect to the walls is also possible - but only if the size of the room allows.
- Modern. Glossy ceilings, painted in various colors, as well as with photo prints. Multilevel ceilings are acceptable.
- Loft. Frosted ceiling with photo prints "brickwork", "old boards" or "concrete surface". Such ceilings are made only single-level.
- Ethnicity. Satin ceilings, matched to the interior tone, will make ethnic styles more expressive. An abundance of levels and decorative elements are allowed, if the style requires it.
Lighting in the bedroom with stretch ceilings
Light is a subtle tool with which you can change the mood of an interior, show its advantages and hide flaws.Recently, a light scheme has been considered classic, which includes three lighting lines: top, fill light, middle line - wall lamps, and "bottom" lighting, which includes floor lamps and table lamps. In addition, add-ons such as highlighting furniture, wall sections and even the floor are possible.
Light will help to change the visual dimensions of the room, make it bigger, higher, and even out the proportions. A row of lamps located on the short side will visually lengthen it. A wall that is too narrow will appear wider if you highlight it with bright lighting. All modern devices that ensure the operation of light schemes and the creation of a variety of light scenarios can also be used if the ceilings in the bedroom are stretch ceilings.
Important: Avoid incandescent bulbs - they generate too much heat and can have a negative effect on PVC film. Better to choose LED or energy-saving modern lamps.
Chandelier
Classic chandeliers can be installed anywhere in the stretch ceiling, one condition is that the installation location must be determined in advance, before the final installation.
Built-in lights
Spotlights, spots are an excellent option for embedding into suspended ceilings, including stretch ceilings. Built-in lamps in the stretch ceiling of the bedroom can highlight the study or dressing area. They are used to create fill light, and to highlight individual areas of the room, and to emphasize the division into functional areas.
LED Strip Light
You can equip the stretch ceiling in the bedroom with lighting, for which you can mount a special box around the perimeter of the entire room. The LED strip embedded in it will create the effect of a "floating" ceiling, which will visually increase the height of the room. The box can be replaced with a special polystyrene cornice.
"Starry sky"
A light scheme specially designed for stretch ceilings. Holes are made in the canvas - future "stars", and light sources are installed on the ceiling.
