Design options for the ceiling in the toilet

People often underestimate the importance of toilet design. But even in this room, you should take care of the aesthetic and stylish decoration, competent arrangement. Fortunately, today in the stores of building and finishing materials you can find many quality products that will decorate the toilet environment. Today we will talk about how you can decorate the ceiling in this room.

Before proceeding to a detailed examination of all the features of finishing materials, it is worth figuring out what are the basic requirements for them in the conditions of the toilet room.

• The finish must be moisture resistant... The material should not be afraid of dampness and moisture, since it is in the bathroom that it will be in constant contact with them. The accumulating condensation can seriously damage the lining, which is not moisture resistant. These requirements are met by modern polyvinyl chloride panels, PVC foil, slatted coatings.
• The finishing material for the ceiling in the toilet must ensure a perfect tightness of the room... If the neighbors flood the apartment, there is a high probability that the toilet will be one of the first to be hit. It is important to take this factor into account when choosing a way to decorate the ceiling in the bathroom. So, film-type stretch canvases can boast of tightness - they can easily withstand a load of up to 100 liters of liquid per 1 sq. m.
• The ceiling covering should in no way obstruct access to pipes or communication systems. These objects at any time may require inevitable replacement, and if it is not possible to get to them, this can provoke serious troubles. The ceiling should be installed only one that will not interfere with the repair or replacement of problem areas.
• The finishing should not make the ceiling even lower. This is especially true for bathrooms, the height of which is already poor. Try to select and install ceilings that will take up space in the room to a minimum. The lion's share of bathrooms, especially in older buildings, are very small. It is inappropriate to install hinged or multi-level structures in such an environment.
• The ceiling in the toilet should be practical. A bathroom is a room in which the need for regular cleaning arises much more often. It is great if the surface of the base can be washed without problems using detergents or wiped with a damp sponge.

For finishing the ceiling in the toilet, it is important to choose only the most suitable materials that meet all of the above requirements. There are several products that will be the best solution for this room. Let's take a closer look at their characteristics and features.

One of the most beautiful and effective options. It is easy to wash - it is not afraid of moisture. Such a finish will not absorb various particles, it will not lose its beauty and brightness over the years. It boasts good soundproofing qualities and is environmentally friendly. But this finish has its drawbacks.

Stretch ceilings in the toilet are installed less often than in other rooms. The bathroom is often small and lacks sufficient space for sufficient tension. This kind of finish can be expensive.

Not to be confused with tension. When organizing a false ceiling in a toilet, various materials can be used. The installation process can also vary, so the choice becomes huge in this case.

One of the types of suspended ceilings is a slatted structure. This is a budget finish. Even if a team of craftsmen will be engaged in the installation, the final cost of the structure will still not be expensive. The slats can be made of aluminum and other suitable materials. True, with a slatted ceiling, the height of the room will be noticeably reduced, there will not be much choice in colors.

Another option from the budget category. The panels are presented in the widest range. They can be either plain or colored and even with drawings / prints. They are installed quickly and easily, they are not afraid of moisture. In cleaning, plastic panels are undemanding, but they also have their disadvantages:

• the surface of the panels will not be solid, and seamless structures can cost a tidy sum;
• the drawing on the panels is characterized by a longitudinal orientation, therefore it is necessary to carefully "fit" one part to another;
• this is a fragile finishing material, it has to be transported with the utmost care.

For finishing the ceiling in the toilet, you can use not only PVC panels, but also drywall. But simple sheets will not work here. It is allowed to use exclusively moisture resistant materials. Similar products are mounted according to the same principle as other popular suspended-type structures.

From plasterboard on the ceiling, you can build a variety of structures of complex and intricate shapes. It is from the gypsum board that the most beautiful and correct multi-level structures are obtained.

Even the highest quality moisture-resistant drywall cannot remain intact and withstand flooding from neighbors living above. The height of the bathroom with a similar finish will inevitably decrease, therefore in very small rooms, it is better to give preference to another option.

Wooden lining is another popular material that is used in many cases for finishing the ceiling in the bathroom.... The demand for this product is explained by its performance characteristics, environmental safety, pleasant appearance, and high practicality.

You don't have to worry about high humidity levels with this finish because it is treated with a special impregnation that protects the material well from negative external factors. But to install these popular and beautiful finishing materials, you will have to first build a strong frame. In addition, the wooden clapboard will need to be regularly looked after so that it does not lose its properties and beautiful appearance.

These are the simplest finishes. They will be inexpensive, they will not require a lot of effort. But all coloring compositions should only be moisture resistant, otherwise they will not retain their attractiveness in the toilet for a long time. From time to time, both the painting and the whitewash will need to be updated. It is recommended to choose high quality paints or acrylics.

Popular material that can make toilet designs more attractive and stylish. Height differences can be hidden with such materials. This decoration in the room will not take away extra space. Vice versa, tiles on the ceiling can visually enlarge the bathroom, make it lighter and higher.

When choosing the option for finishing the ceiling in the toilet, it is important to pay attention to the color scheme of the materials. The assortment of the latter allows you to find a successful and harmonious option for any setting. Most often, coatings of such attractive colors as are chosen for the bathroom:

• black;
• White;
• brown (its different shades);
• Red;
• beige;
• cream;
• purple;
• lilac;
• peach;
• pink;
• soft green;
• blue.

If you wish, you can find not only a monochromatic, but also a brighter, colored finish. True, such materials are not recommended to be installed in a room where the walls and floor are the same variegated, otherwise the situation will turn out to be flashy, intrusive and annoying.

Today, original, bright and effective finishing materials, complemented by photo printing, regularly go on sale. Such a ceiling design can radically change the appearance of the interior, making it more original. Otherwise, these products can be called art objects decorating the ceiling base.

Drawings or photographs of various kinds can be applied not only to plastic panels, but also to a tension type canvas. The following solutions will look good in the toilet:

• flower arrangements;
• the image of the water surface and splashes;
• realistic underwater spaces;
• cosmic motives;
• geometric figures;
• abstraction;
• images of bulk droplets;
• fish and butterflies.

There can be a great variety of options for how to decorate the ceiling in the toilet. You should choose a specific option, starting from the color scheme in which the interior of the bathroom is sustained, as well as its style.

When decorating the ceiling in the toilet, it is not enough to pay attention only to finishing materials or drawings on them. It is equally important to correctly place suitable lighting items on the ceiling base. There are several lighting options available to suit this space.

• Backlight. Based on the level of illumination intensity, it is possible to achieve a visual expansion of the space, to form a muted atmosphere in the room. Often, diode tapes are installed if a two-level (or more), floating or plasterboard ceiling was used.

• Spotlights. They are used in a bathroom more often than other options. They are both inexpensive and aesthetically pleasing. For the bathroom, you should choose lamps that have a high degree of protection against dampness and moisture. Such products are capable of sufficiently illuminating the room and organically fit into a small-sized space.

• Wall sconces. They are also ideal for equipping a toilet. The main thing is to install them in places where they will not be a hindrance. It is also important to ensure that the style of the lamps matches the interior. It is worth choosing wear-resistant options that will work without problems in a bathroom.

• Bottom lighting. More often provided by LEDs. This type of lighting plays a decorative role rather than a practical one. A toilet with such an addition will look more stylish and modern. This is the perfect solution for minimalism or hi-tech.

The overall appearance of the toilet interior depends on the ceiling decoration. Thanks to the beautiful design of the ceiling base, you can add a unique shine and style to the environment. Let's look at some interesting examples.

• Against the background of the walls, trimmed with wide glossy tiles that combine graphite and white paints, a laconic white ceiling will look harmonious. Suitable for its design as a plastic or plasterboard construction, and ordinary painting.

• In the toilet, where the walls are trimmed with light peach-colored tiles, and the line along the ceiling - with burgundy tiles, you can install a beautiful stretch ceiling in a pale pink tone. In such an environment, recessed lamps of large size, exhibited on a ceiling base in 2 rows, will harmoniously look.

• In the toilet, a glossy black stretch ceiling may also look good, but it is advisable to install it if the walls are finished with light materials. It can be a tile that combines beige / white and gray colors. It is necessary to supplement the film on the ceiling with a sufficient number of recessed and spotlights.

• A soaring stretch ceiling of a juicy dark red hue will look gorgeous in the toilet. Along the perimeter, it should be highlighted with white diode illumination.
