What color can be made stretch ceiling. How to choose a stretch ceiling. Each room has its own ceiling

The ceiling can be painted or plastered, made of plasterboard or plastic, but the only thing you need to put all your strength into is the flawlessness of its color. The emergence of a large number on the market various finishes and materials has led to the fact that the cost of stretch ceilings has fallen. Today, almost everyone can afford to finish the ceiling with vinyl film, but the color palette of the stretch ceiling will puzzle any owner during the choice.

Types of stretch ceilings

The color scheme of the ceilings in the house is today a very important and interesting issue that modern owners usually like to solve on their own. When decorating the interiors of apartments, a few decades ago, the ceiling was the last thing to think about, and stretch ceilings of snow-white color were considered expensive and exclusive. And today PVC film comes in the brightest colors and various textures.

Choosing the color of a stretch ceiling at first glance seems like a fairly simple task that even a child can handle. But this turns out not to be the case at all. The wrong range of colors can create a gloomy atmosphere or divide the interior. Therefore, when you return home, you may feel that the environment is not conducive to relaxation, but to dissonance.

Stretch ceilings can be divided into several types: matte, lacquer, photo printing, mother-of-pearl and metallic. But still, in most cases, the owners use lacquered stretch ceilings. And all this is due to a fairly wide choice of film colors, as well as other distinctive characteristics. Now let's take a look at some of the main types of stretch ceilings.

Matt stretch ceilings

For the classic design of the room, matte stretch ceilings are usually used. In structure, this material is quite similar to classic painting. These ceilings are ideal for rooms where there will be people with a conservative attitude to things and ceiling decoration as well. These rooms seem comfortable and convenient to them.

The color of a stretch ceiling with a matte film is usually pastel or white. Every man is accustomed to follow own feelings taste, but still the use of a white matte stretch ceiling is ideal for large libraries, halls and living rooms. Most of all, bed tones would fit in the bedroom, where you want to relax and unwind.

Lacquered stretch ceilings

Lacquered stretch ceiling without fail must be in harmony with the overall picture of the interior. The color range of such products has more than 120 shades of all colors of the rainbow, this helps the owners to choose the perfect color for any room. Lacquered stretch ceilings visually add depth to the room, this effect is obtained due to the mirror effect of the stretch ceiling. Remember: the darker the film, the greater the reflection effect and, accordingly, the greater the specularity.

Stretch ceilings metallic

For more spectacular design a metallic stretch ceiling is used, which gives grace and freshness to the room. These stretch ceiling colors are commonly used in small rooms but with a rich finish.

Color - Pretty interesting thing, which turns an ordinary room into something meaningful and makes the eye linger on bright objects, and affects a person in a special way. The choice of color for the design of a stretch ceiling is a serious task, because it is necessary that the result is not a faceless space, but a harmonious one. Therefore, before you decide what color to make a stretch ceiling, you need to find out a few points: what is the room intended for, what style will it be decorated in, what is the height of the walls and the area of ​​the room, what shade of furniture, the color of the walls and other various interior items.

A question of harmony

In order to determine the color of the stretch ceiling, you must first select the color of the walls, the tone or pattern of the wallpaper, and also have a laminate, lining, tile available, that is, all the materials that will be used for finishing works. After all, the optimal color of the ceiling is such a tone that not only catches the eye, but is also in harmony with the surrounding objects (walls and coatings).

If suddenly the choice of color does not depend on the decoration of the room, then it is necessary that the color of the stretch ceiling be in harmony with some specific element or interior detail, for example, a carpet, sofa, curtains, furniture facade. But still, what color to choose a stretch ceiling? The most win-win and the best option is a beige stretch ceiling.

One of the main mistakes in this case is the design in one color of the interior, and all this is due to the inexperience of the owners, who do not know anything about the color. If preference is given to the classics in design, then the color for the ceiling should be chosen lighter by 1-2 tones. According to the rules, the ceiling should be contrasting with the interior, but everything should be in the same color scheme.

For example, if the walls are beige, then the color of the ceiling can be made light brown, which is darker by 1-2 tones. Also, the ceiling can be made in accordance with the floors, unless, of course, they are of a dark wooden texture. Here the features are the same as with the walls.

You also need to remember that the contrast of walls and ceiling is a great solution, but the frequent use of several colors at once can lead to the fact that the room will simply be “crushed” with color. It is necessary to pay attention to the character and area of ​​​​the room before introducing several colors into the interior.

Stretch ceiling texture

Another feature of the stretch fabric is the ability of the ceiling to absorb and reflect light. Depending on this, the following textures of stretch ceilings are presented on the market:

• Satin and frosted ceilings. They have the property of "narrowing" the room, as well as reducing its depth. This means that the opposite law applies here: for large rooms, a glossy ceiling of rich dark colors is well suited, and for small rooms, of course, a matte ceiling.
• The glossy ceiling is deep and has an almost mirror effect, and, accordingly, a kind of charm. This stretch ceiling can give off quite a lot of light, expand the boundaries and satisfy the sense of beauty.
• A suede ceiling is a good solution for a bedroom because it brings comfort and cultivates warmth.
• Fantasy ceilings with the texture of metal, stone, wood look great in small spaces (kitchen, hallway, bathroom).

Today, art ceilings are also gaining popularity, which are real objects of art and are able to emphasize the atmosphere and sophistication of the house.

Color selection principles

In a room designed for mental work, for example, an office or a library, the ceiling should be decorated brightly. Monotonous shades give the opportunity to feel fresh, but also pacify and distract from work. When choosing the color of the stretch ceiling, it is worth remembering that the color is greenish-blue and sea ​​wave stimulates brain activity, but at the same time you can not choose an aggressive color - orange or red.

The color of the ceiling is easiest to choose if it has drywall in its design, which is usually always painted white. For the rest of the ceiling, you can use all sorts of colors - from light to dark. A bright ceiling will also look beautiful and stylish, while not creating a pressure effect.

In world practice, such a trend has arisen - the use of a rather strong contrast of the color of the stretch ceiling with other primary colors of the room. It is very rare to find an interior design with a monochrome color solution, usually all sorts of color combinations are chosen for the living environment.

The contrasts of cold and warm tones are most interesting. Warm colors are red, yellow and orange, as well as all sorts of shades formed from them - brown, crimson and terracotta. And cool shades include blue, blue, blue-green and green.

When choosing the color of a stretch ceiling, it should be taken into account that most of the colors of stretch ceilings change their saturation and intensity under the influence of light. In bright light, blue, cyan and other shades of this spectrum darken, and orange, green and red brighten. Given such changes, it is, of course, better to experiment with different colors before deciding to buy a stretch ceiling.

If the room is small and you want the space to visually increase, then you need to choose light colors for the ceiling. But it should also be remembered that light-colored lacquer stretch canvases are not as mirror-like as dark ones. You can also expand the room by choosing a cold shade of stretch ceiling. Of course, this will create a feeling of freedom and space.

In rooms that are too large, it is best to use dark ceilings, due to the fact that they can reduce space. But this can also be achieved by using bright warm tones, for example, red, yellow. The room will be more comfortable and cozy.

Floor color for each room

It is necessary to learn how to choose the right color for the stretch fabric for each specific room (bedroom, kitchen, living room, nursery). In the kitchen, the color of the stretch ceiling must cause a feeling of appetite, which means it should be red. If you have completed the design of the kitchen in soothing colors, then exactly the same shades should be chosen for the ceiling.

For children's rooms, the color catalog offers soothing light shades. In the nursery, you can also install panels with photo printing, depicting the favorite characters of children on them. But still, preference should be given to a neutral image that does not interfere with the child's focus. For children, ceilings of blue, green, white, light purple, pink are mainly recommended.

How to choose the color of the stretch ceiling and the combination of tones for the bedroom? Usually for bedrooms it is recommended to choose stretch fabrics in soothing colors. It can be fabrics of cream, white, light green, blue, pink color. Ceilings at the same time can be both multi-color, and monophonic, and two-tone.

The role of color in the interior

More recently, the choice of color scheme for the ceiling was limited to white and dusty white. But the days of traditional whitewashed ceilings have passed and they have been replaced by new technologies that make it possible to obtain stretch ceilings of various colors, textures and shades. This is where the question arose, which color to choose. It may seem to an inexperienced person that choosing the color of the ceiling is a simple matter, but it wasn’t there. If your ceiling does not fit into the overall interior, it can cause an oppressive feeling of foreignness, and sometimes even annoying. As a result, there can be no talk of any rest at home. Not all of us understand that each color affects a person in its own way. Our mood, well-being, activity or passivity depend on the color scheme of the interior and the ceiling in particular. Certain colors evoke associations in us and contribute to the emergence of certain processes in our brain.

To understand what color stretch ceilings should be chosen, you do not need to look at numerous photos, it is enough to study the advice of designers and psychologists about the effect of colors on a person. We tried to summarize all these tips in one table:

Color	Human impact	Recommendations for its use in the interior
White	The white color scheme of the ceiling is considered traditional. Color gives a feeling of freedom, spaciousness, tranquility and relaxation. It refers to neutral colors. The abundance of white creates a feeling of sterility and life under the microscope.	If you decide to use a white ceiling in the interior of the room, you should not use the same color on the walls and floor. A room with a white ceiling and light walls can be diversified with a few bright spots (pillows, furniture) and then the interior will sparkle and come to life. The contrast of white and black in the interior looks interesting

Tip: do not think that the color of the ceiling itself can solve something in the interior. Stretch ceilings of a certain color, with or without a photo, should echo the entire interior. In some cases, the ceiling can draw attention to itself and hide the imperfections of the walls. Otherwise, it will become only a background for bright decor rooms. So, light-colored stretch ceilings (as in the photo) should be complemented by darker walls.

Stretch ceilings: colors in the interior (photo)

Whatever color the stretch ceilings are, they should be in line with the overall color scheme of the room (see photo). Ceilings should not stand out from the general style, their color style must be in harmony with furniture and wall, floor, wallpaper color. If you are in doubt about what color to make stretch ceilings, and photos cannot help you, then choose perfect option- beige color. However, the whole room does not need to be made beige. So many lovers of experiments are mistaken. In order for your stretch ceilings to have a color that harmoniously fits into the interior of the room (see photo), follow these recommendations:

1. The ceiling contrasts well with the walls. That is, it is better to choose a darker wall decoration for a light ceiling and vice versa.
2. Do not use more than two colors at once, otherwise your room will seem very colorful, overloaded with color.
3. For small rooms, it is better to choose one color in different tones. In large rooms, you can use two colors with its different shades and bright accents.
4. Stretch ceilings of bright color are ideal for offices and offices (see photo).
5. Cloths of soothing tones are best used in children's and bedrooms.

Ceiling color and texture

But not only the colors of stretch ceilings matter. Equally important is how well the ceiling reflects or absorbs light. That is why stretch ceilings of the same color, but with different textures, look different in the room (see photo). There is the following relationship between the color and texture of the ceiling:

1. Stretch ceilings with a satin or matte texture smooth out the depth of the room and visually reduce its dimensions, but this only applies to canvases in saturated or dark colors. But fabric satin or matte stretch ceilings in light pastel shades are ideal for small spaces.
2. Glossy fabric of pvc films perfectly reflects light. It gives a feeling of spaciousness and visually expands the space, raises the ceilings. Glossy light-colored stretch ceilings are suitable for small low rooms (see photo below), and the same canvases of dark saturated colors will be appropriate only in large spacious rooms.
3. Suede fabric absorbs light. Such a ceiling is suitable for bedrooms, but you should not make it too dark, otherwise it will create the feeling of a dusty dirty ceiling.
4. Stretch ceilings of any color with a texture like leather, marble, stone are best placed in a small room, kitchen or used in combination with ordinary matte or glossy canvases. So you do not overload the interior and give the room space and comfort at the same time.

The photo shows how the black stretch ceilings contrast with the walls.

Tip: dark-colored stretch ceilings should occupy no more than half the area. Otherwise, their oppressive depressing effect will be significant. It is not recommended to use such panels in a nursery or bedroom.

If you do not know what color to make stretch ceilings, choose a lighter one. Light pastel stretch ceilings are ideal for our small apartments. They give peace and tranquility, help to relax and calm down. When choosing a color, consider how stretch ceilings will look in different lighting conditions. So, daylight from a window makes the ceiling colder, and an electric light source warms, so bright saturated colors can become even brighter and more aggressive. The drawing can emphasize the color of the canvas.

An example of monochrome interior design

The photo shows that the combination of shades of blue color does not damage stretch ceilings

The combination of colors of stretch panels

Stretch ceilings of the same color are not uncommon, but two-color panels are no less popular (see photo). You can experiment not only in a combination of different colors, but also in the textures of the panels. Just imagine how original matte black ceilings can look in combination with white glossy inserts. On a combination of canvases with different textures, it should be borne in mind that each material has its own degree of stretching. Therefore, the docking of such canvases should be carried out using special docking parts. An aluminum profile is used for fastening to the walls. If there is an insert, then you need to use an edging and a special mount. Stretch ceilings, where two colors are used, can be successfully replaced. This is just a godsend for low rooms, where two-level structures take up too much space. This color separation of the ceiling helps to perform functional zoning premises.

The photo shows an example of a combination of pink and white, lilac and white in the design of the ceiling

In addition, the use of two colors on the ceiling allows you to visually change the dimensions of the room:

• longitudinal colored stripes lengthen the room;
• a colored pattern across expands the room;
• a diagonal color strip expands the space of the room.

Paired colors of the canvas should be in harmony. When performing two-color stretch ceilings (see photo), follow the following rules for selecting paired colors:

1. Red shades of the ceiling can be paired with gray, white, black, yellow and blue.
2. Orange stretch ceilings look good with elements of white, green, gray or yellow tones (see photo).
3. Green canvases can be combined with white, yellow and light brown shades.
4. Green, black, lime brown colors are suitable for yellow.
5. Pink stretch ceilings can be combined with gray, coffee and purple (see photo).
6. The beige ceiling should be combined with white and yellow.
7. The blue color scheme of the stretch panel will decorate pink, turquoise, purple, gray or pink.
8. The gray color of the canvases is combined with white, black, pink and light green.

You can see how stretch ceilings of various colors look good in the interior of a particular room in the photo. So that you can achieve this effect, consider when recommending designers:

1. Stretch ceilings of different colors, but of the same tone, may not look so impressive due to the mutual muting of colors. So, red paired with green muffle each other, but blue and yellow, on the contrary, emphasize the brightness of each. To successfully choose a color combination, be guided not only by color, but also by tone. The perfect combination of colors of different tones.
2. Almost any interior will look good in monochrome design. Various shades of gray or beige can play interestingly with a good selection and lighting.
3. When choosing the colors of the stretch ceiling, it is better to build on the already existing pieces of furniture and decor, wall and floor finishes (see photo of interiors). Successful stretch ceilings seem to unite all the objects of the room into one whole and serve as a background for them.
4. When making stretch ceilings of a certain color, do not forget to take into account the wishes of all household members, because what you like does not always give comfort to others.

Metallic stretch ceilings

Metallic stretch ceiling is used for a more spectacular design of the premises. He is able to give the rooms grace and freshness. Such ceilings are often used in rooms with small sizes and rich finishes. In addition, due to its unique overflow, such ceilings look great in modern or high-tech interiors.

Color can both give the room meaningfulness and sophistication, and completely spoil the whole design idea. The choice of the color of the stretch ceiling is a very important task, as it is necessary to choose the shade that will harmoniously fit into the interior.

• the shade of the furniture installed in the room and the style of its design.

A question of harmony

In order to choose the color of the stretch ceiling, you must first decide on the color of the walls or the tone of the wallpaper, as well as purchase all Decoration Materials. This should be done in order to accurately determine the tone of the future ceiling. After all, the optimal shade is considered to be the one that will not be striking and will be able to fit into the overall color scheme of the room.

But still, what color of stretch ceiling to choose? As mentioned above, the most optimal and win-win there will be a beige ceiling. But at the same time, it is important not to make the main mistake in the design - you cannot choose a color identical to the finish, the ceiling should always be 1-2 tones lighter. And the canvas, according to the rules of design, should contrast with the interior.

At the same time, the ceiling can be made to match the floors (except in cases with a dark wooden structure). The contrast of walls and ceilings is great solution, but using several colors is also unnecessary, since in this case the room will be crushed by color. In addition, attention should be paid to the area and nature of the room itself.

The texture of the paintings

Both materials have several textures:

• Glossy texture attracts with its elegance, specularity and variety of color variations.

  Spectacular design may not take root in a room with a low ceiling and a lot of reflective elements. Dark shades, reflected in the glossy surface, make the room dark.

With any installation method, a baguette is installed around the perimeter of the room, in which the canvas is fixed with or without a harpoon system.

• The harpoon system is used for pvc ceiling, to which a strip of a thicker film is additionally welded.

  They push it into a baguette and cut off the excess. Like a harpoon, the base clings to the profile and holds the canvas. The system allows you to remove the structure and install it again. It is possible to eliminate problems in communications installed in between the ceiling niche.

• The harpoonless (clothespin) system is designed for the thickness of the polyester fabric and works like a clothespin or wedge, securing the fabric.

How to choose stretch ceilings

Stretch ceilings are an easy way to quickly change the design of a room, hiding defects and giving the room modern look. Installation will not take much time, and the result will delight the owners for many years. But only on condition that a suitable stretch ceiling has been chosen. What should be preferred?

Which stretch ceilings are better to choose: film or textile?

The main question that users must answer themselves is which material is more suitable?

Modern ceilings are made either from heat-shrinkable fabric or from PVC film. Both options have disadvantages and advantages.

Stretch ceiling type	pros	Minuses
Film (vinyl)	relatively low cost ease of care (the ceiling can be washed) possibility of removal and reassembly reluctance to absorb moisture no risk of sagging variety of available textures and shades the ability to withstand a large weight of water, which is especially important in case of flooding of the apartment by neighbors	limited width of one piece of film - 3 m (if you need a wider ceiling, you will have to put up with subtle, but still seams) lower strength than fabric ceilings, risk of damage from sharp objects poor cold tolerance (surface may crack)
Fabric (textile)	installation without heating resistance to low temperatures breathable effect stylish look ease of care (cleaning can be done with a vacuum cleaner or a damp cloth) the possibility of staining large width of the canvas (up to 5 m), so that even in a “difficult” room it will be possible to do without seams strength antistatic	high cost sensitivity to moisture "disposable" (it is impossible to re-mount the ceiling) gradual accumulation of dust the use of non-environmentally friendly impregnation in the manufacture

The main thing to remember when choosing vinyl ceilings is that the room being designed must be heated.

Loggias and balconies the best place for PVC, which cannot be said about kitchens, bathrooms, pools and other parts of the house with high humidity.

Fabric ceilings are perfect for garages, balconies and other cold areas.

The texture and design of stretch ceilings: how to choose?

The appearance of the ceiling determines the overall impression that will develop from the room.

Textile products in this case will not allow fantasy to roam too much - only fabric texture is available.

True, for all manufacturers it will be slightly different. It is enough to compare, for example, the ceilings of the brands Descor, Clipso, Cerutti - the difference is obvious.

It is much more interesting to engage in the choice of vinyl ceilings. Their main variations are:

1. Glossy. Shiny surfaces that reflect objects look good in modern interior. Such ceilings visually pull the room up, especially when using competent lighting.

   The main disadvantage is that the seam lines will be more noticeable than on other types of surfaces.

2. Semi-gloss.

   What stretch ceilings are better to choose?

   Ceilings with a metallized effect are implied. They also reflect the objects in the room and "catch" the glow of the lamps, but to a lesser extent compared to pure gloss. This type of ceiling is recommended to choose if metal parts are “involved” in the design of the room (furniture handles, chrome pipes, etc.).

3. Matte. A classic option, perfect for any style. The surface does not reflect, creating a smooth and neat ceiling. A subspecies of such ceilings is satin, characterized by a slight mother-of-pearl shade.

When choosing a stretch ceiling according to texture, you should take into account the existing interior conditions and the desired effect.

For example, colored gloss looks great in cafes and bars located in basements and without access to natural light.

At home, such a surface can both “play” successfully and become a real failure: bright walls, reflected in the ceiling, somewhat change its color and in some cases make it heavier. As a rule, gloss is preferred in the design of kitchens, bathrooms and small living rooms.
Matte vinyl is the least risky option in terms of design. It looks especially good in the bedroom, nursery, living room.

The ceiling can become an additional decoration of the room, if you use some "special effects":

• the starry sky is created using fiber optics and Swarovski crystals.

  A popular theme for children's rooms;

• photo printing allows you to place any image on the ceiling that will emphasize the desired mood in the room;
• 3D ceilings make it possible to enliven a room by “launching” ships with wind-blown sails in it or by “planting” luxurious exotic flowers.

Thus, you can visually expand small room and make it more functional.

How to choose stretch ceilings by mounting method

Fabric ceilings are mounted using a harpoonless system. The cutting of the material is carried out after its tension, which makes it impossible to remove and reuse the product.

To install PVC ceilings, one of the following technologies can be used:

There is also a wedge mounting system.

It is much cheaper than harpoon technology, but is associated with a high risk of ceiling sagging, which is why experts do not recommend using it.

The right ceiling can transform the most boring home. You don't have to be afraid to experiment. This is the case when it is almost impossible to miscalculate.
