What ceilings are in fashion in 2020?
Outdated and non-ecological PVC films are gradually becoming a thing of the past. Designers prefer use natural fabrics. They have an aesthetic, beautiful appearance, perfectly complement the room and have a number of additional properties.
For example, Descor fabrics do not interfere with air exchange. Other types of fabrics have a high fire safety class.
Of course, the cost of a fabric ceiling is slightly higher than PVC films, and the number of colors is limited. But the cost is worth it to complement your apartment with an attractive and organic design. Among the trends of 2020 there are a large number of interesting ideas. Let's look at each of them.
Gapless
This is an innovative ceiling system from the KRAAB brand, which is adored by designers and installers. Visually they look like a plasterboard surface.Installation requires special skills, so only specialists certified by the manufacturer can do it. Compared to drywall work, it takes much less time and does not leave as much dirt behind. The result looks very aesthetically pleasing.
The system itself is a canvas with a locking mechanism. The fabric fits as close as possible to the wall. A perfectly smooth damper ceiling without creases or irregularities does not require the installation of a plinth around the perimeter. During installation, it is important that all walls are perfectly aligned.
Shadow
The EUROKRAAB system is slightly different from the previous one. Its peculiarity, on the contrary, is considered to be a small indentation from the wall, due to which this very shadow effect is achieved. The canvas is mounted on a shadow profile, the distance from the wall is 7 mm. This type does not require leveling the walls. Visual perception - as if the ceiling is floating above the room.
Light ceilings
Tensile structure, illuminated from the inside by numerous lamps. They create daylight effect or the illusion of a huge chandelier overhead. A good solution for a too gloomy room with an interior in dark colors.
To achieve a similar effect, use fabric with the greatest light transmission. Inside, under the canvas, numerous LED strips are passed through, often intertwining them and creating original patterns. Note that such a ceiling is installed in rooms with sufficient height. It is secured by lowering it 10–15 cm from the rough.
Floating
This type is a regular stretch fabric with an LED strip around the perimeter. The whole secret is that the tape is disguised in a special aluminum profile recess. Its place after completion of installation is under the canvas.The result is the effect of floating above the room.
LED strip can be plain or iridescent in different colors.
Fabric
Canvases made from natural materials are in trend today, as they are more consistent with the principles of environmental friendliness. Despite various impregnations in order to improve performance, it is still fabric. They do not release toxins and do not obstruct free air flow.
A huge plus of fabric structures is that they can be installed in rooms with sub-zero temperatures. For example, on a balcony or loggia.
With light lines
The secret is in the aluminum profile located under the tension fabric. An LED strip is inserted into it, which has different lengths, widths and shapes. The owner of the premises has the opportunity to come up with his own ornaments that masters will make up of lighting tape.
LED strip can be:
- Monochrome (shines exclusively in one color: blue, white, red, green and others).
- Switchable (the ability to change colors using an RGB controller).
- With adjustable light intensity (switching occurs using a dimmer).
This ceiling is considered an ideal complement to natural light and creates an original, intimate atmosphere in the room.
Carved ceilings
New in the field of stretch fabrics. Surface consists of two layers. The first is a background and is often made from materials of a rich shade. The second canvas is created with slots from which ornaments and patterns are formed. More often it is:
- Abstract drawings.
- Animal style patterns.
- Geometric figures.
- Floral or floral designs.
Carved ceilings are not recommended for installation in small apartments. This is due to the too large distance from the rough ceiling during installation.
This ceiling looks magical and creates a special atmosphere in the room. An excellent solution for a themed cafe.
With 3D effect
3D stretch ceilings are still popular and have not lost their position for many years. People are attracted by the embodiment of the infinity and inviolability of existence, recreated in their own apartment. Often among the prints used, photo printing of a clear sky, space, chamomile field or other peaceful and life-affirming pictures is used.
With photo printing
Another type of canvas that has been popular in recent seasons. High quality photo printing recreates original drawings right above your head. In 2020, ceilings with patterns that extend onto walls and other surfaces are especially valued.
The ornament depends on the chosen design direction. For example, a neoclassical room gains vibrancy with a frescoed ceiling. And modern design or Provence is perfectly complemented by a print with huge flowers.
Metallic effect
A new product that immediately became popular in 2020. Metallized ceilings fit perfectly into modern design, for example, high-tech. It's important to maintain balance and do not use too many metallic elements in the decor.
Mirror
A mirror on the ceiling - many people dream of such luxury. With the advent of mirror stretched canvases, dreams have become reality. This is a fashionable finishing method now. Combinations of mirror and satin fabrics look attractive. They add magical mystery to the room and create the illusion of infinity, visually expanding the space.
Do not forget about multi-level structures that can be assemble from different types of fabrics. For owners of large apartments or houses, this is an excellent option for home decoration. When choosing a finish, the height and operating characteristics of the room are of great importance. The purpose of the room must be taken into account.
