Which ceiling covering to choose for the bedroom?

The bedroom is a place for increasing strength and restoring resources spent during work. Here we try to relax as much as possible from the frantic pace of life. That's why the bedroom should be in harmony with our attitude and not upset the balance. And the ceiling plays an important role in this case. It is constantly in sight and can be very annoying if you don’t think through its design in advance. I offer several finishing options:

• painting or whitewashing;
• wooden slats;
• tension fabric or drywall;
• decorative plaster;
• MDF panels and other options.

Residents independently determine what they like best and contribute to complete relaxation.

What is better for finishing the ceiling in the bedroom?

The modern market for finishing materials offers a huge range of products with which any design fantasy can be realized. Budget paint or drywall go as opposed to tensioned fabric or slatted structures.

In my opinion, in the bedroom you should pay attention to the naturalness of materials. I do not recommend using synthetics in the place where you sleep and relax.

Whitewashing or painting

A simple and affordable finishing method that is familiar to the residents of our country.For an attractive result, it is necessary to level the surface of the rough ceiling in advance. This is important, since paint will not adhere perfectly to unprepared concrete.

For the bedroom, choose calm tones. The usual white or cream shades. However the choice directly depends on the design style, conceived in the bedroom. If, for example, loft or eclecticism is chosen as the main one, it is allowed to leave the rough surface open, only by cleaning it.

Wallpapering

Did you think this finishing method was a thing of the past? No! Wallpaper is still used in classic interiors. A straight, flat surface or a multi-level plasterboard ceiling can be decorated with wallpaper. I offer an option with photo wallpaper made from gypsum board sheets.

This coating looks beautiful and original, and also meets environmental requirements. This is important in a bedroom setting.

Stretch ceiling

In my opinion, this is the most common finishing option today. The canvas is installed by specialists who have the necessary equipment. Using a heat gun or special fasteners, the room is decorated with a fabric or film ceiling.

The advantages of stretch fabric are:

• perfectly smooth surface with pleasant and varied colors;
• moisture resistance and resistance to the development of fungus and mold;
• quick installation;
• the ability to hide pipes and wires under fabric.

The big disadvantage of this type of finishing is its high cost and synthetic impurities. For people suffering from allergic reactions, the tension design is not suitable.

Drywall

With the help of a suspended structure made of plasterboard, original decor and finishing are created. They will complement the room, making the interior expressive. GCR ceilings can be single- or multi-level.The second option is used in voluminous rooms, where the height allows you to design complex decor.

At the final stage of finishing, the drywall is covered with a layer of paint, wallpaper or decorative plaster.

In addition, drywall is not too expensive. If you have certain skills in construction and repair, the owner will be able to do the installation himself.

Aluminum or wood slats

Slatted ceilings are quite a popular trend today. For eco-style or minimalist design wooden lining is used. The entire surface is covered with slats, or the craftsman creates the illusion of beams. This directly depends on the size of the bedroom.

Aluminum slats are installed less frequently, but still have a place as decoration in the bedroom. They give a soft mirror effect and are environmentally friendly and do not harm the inhabitants of the apartment.

Wooden lining

Covering the bedroom with clapboard made of natural wood is appropriate in the following styles:

• ecodesign;
• Scandinavian;
• Provence and others.

Often, after installation, the slats are coated with white paint, which does not hide the texture of the wood.

MDF panels

A budget-friendly and simple way to finish the ceiling. Panels with natural wood imitation look great in the bedroom. They blend into their surroundings and create a soft, cozy design.

The main advantage of such a suspended structure is considered no need for preliminary preparation of the rough ceiling. There may even be old paint or whitewash remaining under the panels. In the final version they will not be noticeable.

Laminate

Similar to the previous option. Although laminate is not intended for installation on the ceiling, some designers do not hesitate to use it in the interior.Often the slats from the ceiling extend into the wall, and then onto the floor. It looks modern and unusual. What you need for the bedroom of an active resident of a large metropolis or just a man’s room.

Coffered ceiling

A colorful design that perfectly complements a bedroom in a private home. The fact is that sufficient height is required to construct individual cells. Usually this ceiling made from natural wood.

The inside of the “cells” is filled with wood paneling or plasterboard sheets.

Decorative plaster

An expensive and time-consuming method of finishing the ceiling in the bedroom. However, the owners will enjoy the fruits of the work done. Plaster looks expensive and unusual. Often with its help they visually increase the space of the room.

Selection of finishing colors for the bedroom

We come to the bedroom to rest. To make relaxation high-quality and calm, the finest finishing of all surfaces is provided. This also applies to the ceiling. To add comfort and not irritate the eye, choose calm and even neutral shades. Suitable:

• beige;
• white;
• cream;
• lactic;
• golden;
• olive and others.

It is important that they are muted and do not strain the eyesight of the bedroom inhabitants.

Unusual design

The original finishes include various combined designs. For example, a ceiling made of gypsum plasterboard sheets combined with a tension fabric. In the bedroom they often install the so-called starry sky ceiling. When falling asleep, a person imagines falling asleep in an open field, watching the falling stars.

One of the combined options is the combination of decorative wooden beams with a level structure made of plasterboard.In this case, the effect of a rustic house or a fishing shack is created, depending on the chosen style. Modest and attractive, and most importantly - unusual.

The basic rule for choosing ceiling decoration in the bedroom is to choose neutral colors and environmentally friendly materials. They should not harm residents or cause negative emotions at one glance at the surface. The first rule is that the ceiling you choose should be comfortable. Only in this way will the design become cohesive and thoughtful.
