Drywall ceilings in the bedroom: varieties and design

The design of the ceiling in the bedroom plays an important role in shaping the completed interior decoration. I want a perfectly smooth, reliable and durable coating, but at the same time not very expensive. All the indicated parameters are best suited to drywall - a well-known finishing material in the form of cardboard sheets filled with a layer of gypsum. It is surprisingly practical and very easy to process, making it possible to quickly implement any new product in design.

The use of drywall for decorating the ceiling in residential premises is determined both by the characteristics of the building material itself and by the possibilities that it provides for the implementation of extraordinary design developments. GKL is very plastic, which allows you to create complex multi-tiered structures and figures of various shapes:

• circles and ovals;
• squares and rectangles;
• non-standard, for example, in the form of a heart.

The advantages of using plasterboard sheets for facing the ceiling in a bedroom are such factors:

1. environmental safety of building materials, as it is made of gypsum of natural origin;
2. cuts effortlessly, therefore it is optimally suited for the implementation of complex design structures;
3. aligns defects, creates a completely smooth plane;
4. uncomplicated in installation work;
5. durable, operating life up to 60 years;
6. maintainable, just cleaned from dust;
7. significantly facilitates the laying of internal communications systems, for example, such as electrical wiring and ventilation;
8. available at cost.

Such advantages of application are so excellent that they overlap with individual imperfections that exist in the material, such as:

• the manufacture of GKL ceilings in a bedroom reduces the height of the room by 12-15 centimeters, since it is mounted on suspensions, therefore, it is not necessary to apply a similar technique in small-sized apartments;
• even moisture-proof drywall is afraid of dampness;
• it is easily covered with cracks, in this regard, in timber houses, the ceiling can be installed only after the house shrinks.

Drywall is a malleable, easy-to-install material that can take any configuration in the hands of a specialist and transform into multi-level structures, forming unusual ceiling compositions. According to the structural design, based on the complexity and combination of forms, gypsum board-based ceilings are divided into 3 types.

A single-level structure is the easiest to implement. Such drywall constructions look stylish, elegant and concise.

I must say that such a design cannot provide very great opportunities for the flight of thoughts. You cannot do intricate configurations through single-level structures. Nevertheless, due to their own laconicism, they can perfectly approach the concept of a minimalist style in the interior of a bedroom.

Their refined style, specific charm, and the lack of useless design are perfectly suited for rooms used for relaxation and sleep. And especially if the rooms do not differ in significant ceiling height.

Multistage drywall structures are selected for dormitory rooms with high ceilings. By the number of steps, 2- and 3-level are especially common.

Double designs have the ability to create the impression of a large space. Through them you can implement complex ideas. The most popular form at present is the concave construction. Proper installation of it adds a few centimeters in height to the room.

Such ceiling structures made of drywall are endowed with the main positive moment - they give the master tremendous opportunities regarding the design of the ceiling. By organizing skillful intricacies of color solutions, configurations, materials and lighting elements, you can get stunning results.

For example, effectively highlight a bed area. And if you beat the construction options by its configuration, you can achieve both a visual increase and a decrease in the room.

Such ceilings are a difficult geometric structure to implement, can be used for large rooms. They give the opportunity to zoningly advantageous spacious bedrooms, free from the feeling of vacuum.

A huge selection of facing building materials makes it possible to practice several varieties of decoration on the ceiling. As an example, we can take today’s traditional combination of drywall frames and stretch fabric in the center.

And also the ceilings made of plasterboard sheets look elegant with wood, but only if it is present in the other elements of the interior.

When creating the design of the bedroom, one must take into account that the suspended ceiling should become part of the entire interior design and interact in concert with other elements.

Therefore, thinking over the design, it is necessary to pay attention to all the subtleties, and this:

• general view of the hinged structure, the number of levels, their location and configuration;
• the planned topcoat for the ceiling, taking into account the location of the mounted components, taking into account the combination of compatible materials for decoration;
• color palette in terms of general style;
• lighting and lighting, the general concept and location of lighting devices.

The decoration of the bedroom should ensure harmony in the soul and peace, therefore, when constructing the ceiling in the bedroom, you must also follow some general rules:

• the warm color palette not only acts soothingly, but also visually enlarges the room;
• for the formation of additional volume in a small room it is necessary to apply a white ceiling;
• dark colors will be to the place for the design of the room with high ceilings;
• the use of smooth lines in the formation of levels will give the bedroom a coziness.

However, the variety of trends in modern design allows the use of different color compositions to decorate the bedroom, including rich colors, and the personal wishes of the owner of the room will, of course, become decisive. It is clear that there are no hard frames, and anyone has the opportunity to choose their own option. However, certain style specifics must be considered.

So, if the bedroom is in the Art Deco style, then the GKL design in black with silver design components will be absolutely normal.

It is advisable not to use red in the decoration of the bedroom in a clean form. You can replace it with burgundy or wine red, optimal for decorating the premises in the Baroque style.

The choice of sizes and configuration of ceiling niches and figures is also due to the style flow. For example, curly ceilings of the correct geometric shape with rounded corners and stucco molding will be the perfect solution for the classic style.

In the bedroom in the style of rocaille or baroque it is better to use a multi-stage design with backlight and repeating decoration elementsplaced according to the rules of symmetry.

The modern bedroom is perfectly combined with asymmetric designs of various colors and shades, while constructivism in the design involves the use of precise geometric shapes with the indispensable zoning of the area through the competent arrangement of a multi-level ceiling.

Contemporary bedrooms Hi-tech style perfectly combined with one-color ceilings and extraordinary lighting. Even when it is a very small bedroom, do not forget about the catchy color accent - a necessary component of this direction.

Along with traditional matte plaster, suspended ceilings in the neoclassical style. In this case, the surfaces can be either completely flat or multi-stage, revealing great opportunities for unusual lighting design.

Scandinavian style ceiling design or country direction is often represented by a combination of drywall and tension film. This adds sophistication. You will certainly enjoy the result, as there are many variations to choose from.

Reflective surfaces: mirrors, composite materials transform the perception of space. The combination of mirror planes with GCR and backlighting transforms the room, and it does not look so small.

Patterns of ceiling coverings from GKL at several levels represent entire architectural compositions in the style of futurism or postmodernism. If the room has low ceilings and it is impossible to establish a 2-level structure, but we would like to find a beautiful patterned ceiling from GKL, then we can cut out the desired figure from a plasterboard and simply stick it to the suspended ceiling.

In addition to the usual chandelier and directional light sources (spots), there are a number of methods that should be applied. There are several varieties of backlighting.

• LED backlight. It is excellent in that it can be guided and bent as your heart desires. Through it, the very soaring ceiling is formed. For this, the diode strip is placed in a specially designed cornice. You do not see the source of light, and it seems that the ceiling itself glows over the entire area. But in fact, you observe only a narrow band of light.

• Backlight hidden behind the stretch fabricIt is found quite often in combined ceilings. It looks very attractive. However, it should be borne in mind that the lamps have the peculiarity of blowing out. Therefore, it is necessary to provide for the feasibility of easy and quick replacement.

Now let's talk about ordinary lighting schemes.

You will get a strong main source of light. A chandelier can service more powerful lamps or those that are prohibited for installation in a suspended ceiling. The spots are practiced in the form of auxiliary lighting to form a soft half-light.

There are several options for the location of the chandelier.

• Chandelier in the center of the ceiling. Relative to it, a further composition is being constructed. It can be symmetric or asymmetric, but the chandelier will invariably be its starting point.
• Two chandeliers are suitable for large rooms. Sometimes chandeliers on a long suspension replace a sconce close to bed.

In this case, you will need to add the number of spots in order to have the necessary 200 Lux, indicated by sanitary standards.

Let's consider several options.

• Sources of directional light along the contour of the room. In the corners, in the form of geometric shapes and so on. All lighting is concentrated along the contour of the ceiling.
• In the center. It can be a flat strip including one or several rows of fixtures. Or a meandering snake. There is only one leitmotif: to illuminate the center of the room.
• In the corner. In small bedrooms, sometimes it’s enough to place the directional light sources in one corner and disperse the lighting in different directions.
• Matrix. By constructing an ornament from light sources (small rhombuses, circles, and the like), you can make elegant filling niches in a multi-stage design.
