Duplex plasterboard ceilings for the living room

The ceiling in the living room can be made lighter, more airy, adding heights to it, radically transforming the geometry of the space, if you use two-level plasterboard structures. In this regard, the question of how to correctly choose the style, design and color scheme of the coating becomes relevant. This is a solvable task, but it requires a serious approach.

The idea of ​​creating a plasterboard suspended ceiling is so attractive, since this finish has certain advantages.

• Such a ceiling makes it possible to hide the joints and seams, having achieved a perfectly flat surface. In this case, there is no need for plaster, but you just need to install the frame and fix plasterboard sheets to it, and then paint or paste over with foam.
• Installation of the structure is done in a short time, and there is no need to purchase special tools for it.
• Two-level ceilings can be decorated with different images, which, when chosen correctly, increase the space of the room and emphasize the chosen style.
• With the help of the ceiling structure, you can mask engineering communications and place optimal lighting in the created niches.
• Drywall, besides other advantages, has good sound and heat insulation.
• For the price, such ceilings are cheaper than stretch ceilings, and this also makes them preferable.

Certain disadvantages are also present:

• reducing the space of the room;
• the impossibility of repairing damaged sheets is an extremely fragile material;
• lack of sufficient water resistance - when water gets on the plates, they swell and collapse.

The tones in which the ceiling space is finished can be different:

• white;
• gray;
• beige;
• cream;
• lavender;
• brown;
• all shades of pastels.

However, you need to choose a color taking into account some subtleties:

• dark shades are able to narrow and reduce a room visually and are not applicable in small areas;
• light, white, neutral colors, on the contrary, expand the boundaries of the room;
• glossy surfaces can stretch the shape of the living room, but at the same time enrich it with brilliance;
• matte shades of the palette make the space smaller.

When erecting two-level structures in the hall, based on the style, it is possible to use gilding and gold patterns, ornaments, including geometric shapes of a different color, and they can be located on one tier, while the other level will serve as a kind of background.

Plasterboard in two-tiered and multi-tiered design is considered versatile material for creating different living room styles.

• The elegance and elegance of the classic style can be emphasized with the help of models decorated with ornaments, drawings, bumpers and stucco moldings.
• Hanging structures with patterned baguettes, symmetrical and centrally located, are used for the Baroque hall.
• Uncomplicated ceilings that add a subtle but ingenious asymmetry are suitable for modern styles as well as modern.
• A white surface with embossed square projections and fluorescent lamps against a background of rough plaster, bricks and false beams will be relevant with a general industrial style.
• In minimalism, when choosing a ceiling surface, the main thing is not to burden the space, but to make it laconic, but expressive. The combination of geometric details of various sizes in black on a white background will organically fit into such an interior.

Bunk structures, thanks to their color, shape and decor, make it possible to highlight separate areas of the living room, thus highlighting them. This is the primary task of the designer. To make the room look holistic and harmonious, you need to start from a competent layout, and then choose the appropriate ceiling decor.

With a round design of the second level, the emphasis will be on the central part of the room, for example, on the recreation area. If you move the hanging model to one part of the living room, then you can focus on the fireplace or any other piece of furniture.

In the design using suspended drywall, both clear classic shapes and lines, as well as more sophisticated configurations, providing for the presence of a beautiful pattern or design.

The design of two-level ceilings is closely related to lighting. For different areas of the living room, it is recommended to use:

• a classic chandelier for general lighting, crystal elements are desirable for a classic and neoclassical room;
• LED strips and spotlights directly under the ceiling;
• in limited quantities - fluorescent lamps;
• fiber optic lamp fixtures;
• flexible cords "Duralight", the light of which can be adjusted.

Of course, first of all, it is necessary to correctly correlate the type of construction with the interior, and here it is important not only to determine the desired color, but also the appropriate texture.

There are several options to choose from.

• Light-reflecting glossy products are optimal for a small living room with poor lighting, including rooms in "Khrushchevs". The shiny ceiling will disperse the dull shadow, enlarge and revitalize the space.
• In a large living room exceeding 20 sq. m, a satin canvas will look luxurious and elegant, the surface of which resembles weaving from fabric strips.
• Satin can also be used in a small room if a simple two-level ceiling design is used.
• Matte surfaces of ceiling products often have light shades and imitate the texture of artistic plaster, so they are perfect for small rooms and any interiors in a classic style.

Dividing the area into zones in tall, spacious rooms works best with dark shades. In the rooms on the north side, a warm palette is used, on the sunny one - any cold shades that help make the room feel cooler.

Several options for the decor of ceiling structures will give an idea of ​​\ u200b \ u200bthe what the living room might look like after their construction.

• An example of a two-level ceiling, one tier of which is glossy, and the other is made of satin fabric. Thanks to this, a small room as a whole appears to be much higher and more spacious.

• A completely black ceiling, or a combination of black and white levels, is also able to deepen the room, making it almost bottomless. Spot lamps are used to simulate stars.

• The gentle curves and contrasting colors of the plasterboard ceiling, which match the tone of the wall decorations, make the living room particularly unusual.
