The installation technology consists of stretching the heated fabric over the entire surface, fixing it in special clamps. There are two types: harpoon and harpoonless, differing in the method of fastening. The technology allows you to choose almost any color. Lighting can be spot lighting or an unusual chandelier.

Painting

For painting you will need a perfectly flat surface. The whole process takes place in three stages: preparation, priming and painting. The main advantage of this finishing option is the variety of shades of all colors. The interior is laconic and warm. Any type of chandelier can illuminate a room.

Suspension

From plasterboard

This technology allows you to level any surface, as well as create multi-level compositions. Drywall sheets are attached to a pre-prepared metal profile structure. The downside of the plasterboard finishing technique is the forced lowering of the ceiling level.

Rack and pinion

Wood

Wood trim stands out from other options. The material is environmentally friendly and can have a complex shape. The downside is susceptibility to humidity. This type of finish looks good in a living room or bedroom in country, shabby chic and Scandinavian style.

Finish options

It is possible to combine matte and glossy fabrics of different shades. This type of finish looks stylish and unusual. It is important to make sure that the color of the ceiling matches other design elements.

Beige goes well not only with white, but also with black or other dark shades. Sunny yellow looks bright against a background of modest beige, so the ceiling will be unusual and bright. If this design option seems too provocative, you can only make curly inserts in bright colors. Then the ceiling will not draw attention to itself.

You can supplement the canvases with photo printing; any images will look advantageous on a beige or cream background. It is not necessary to apply the design to the entire canvas; you can limit yourself to only small inserts in the center or corners.

For a nursery, you can choose more expressive options, paint images of your favorite cartoon characters or animals on the ceiling. The child will definitely like this. Thanks to modern technologies, absolutely any pictures or photos can be applied to a suspended ceiling. You can find an image yourself or choose from existing ones.

Another design option is an abstract pattern consisting of beige and brown shades. Here it is good to frame the canvas with a plasterboard frame, as the room will seem smaller. Geometric prints on the ceiling surface reduce space. All that remains is to choose suitable lighting fixtures that will highlight the curved patterns and you can admire the result.

Beige can be not only the main tone, but also an interesting accent. It makes sense to experiment with ceilings that have perforations. In this design option, small holes will reveal the creamy fabric, which looks very elegant in any room.

Glossy, matte or satin?

Glossy

A ceiling with a glossy surface has reflective properties, which allows you to visually increase the area of ​​the room. A wide range of colors is available, which allows you to create the desired interior. In difficult lighting, glare of light will play on the mirror surface.

The disadvantage of gloss is the small width of the canvas; the seam line will be visible. Glossy surfaces are often used when decorating interiors in a modern style.

Matte

Matte canvas is suitable for finishing the ceiling in a loft or classic style; such a solution will not attract attention, but will only complement the overall picture of the room. The matte canvas is wider than the glossy one, which avoids joints. The beige color on a matte surface looks advantageous - it creates a velvety appearance.

Satin ceiling

A satin ceiling is something in between; the surface does not have a mirror effect, but has a special shine. Visually the surface looks silky.

Types of beige ceilings

There are two types of beige stretch ceilings: matte and glossy. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, which determine the characteristics of their use.

The beige glossy stretch ceiling has a reflective, mirror effect. This quality of glossy canvas makes it advantageous to use in small rooms, when you need to visually expand the space or enlarge the room. For example, a cream cloth looks very advantageous in the kitchen. At the same time, the feeling of lightness and comfort is maintained.

A light suspended ceiling is used in cases where there is no need to emphasize visual expansion. This is a calmer and more traditional option. Good for bedroom, living room, children's room.

What to do with lighting?

Good lighting in the kitchen is very important. There are several lighting options that are perfect for a stretch ceiling. First of all, it is recommended to hang the chandelier above the dining table. In workplaces, it is best to use powerful floodlights.

You should pay attention to the location of possible spotlights in combination with a chandelier:

• The second, fifth, eighth and ninth options can be called the most optimal for a medium-sized room.
• The fifth scheme is suitable if you want to create a romantic twilight atmosphere in a separate part of the kitchen.
• In photographs seven, ten and twelfth you can see the ideal solution for a large room that should be evenly lit from all sides.

The choice of a specific scheme depends on the size of the kitchen and the type of stretch ceiling covering. In a room with glossy ceilings, you can use fewer lighting fixtures as they will reflect the light themselves.

Bedroom

Warm shades are great for the bedroom; the interior is enveloped in warmth and soft light. To decorate a classic bedroom, the ceiling can be matte with an unusual chandelier or multi-tiered satin. A modern interior will be decorated with a beige ceiling in combination with dark furniture.

Kitchen

In city apartments, kitchens often have a small area, so to save space, you should use a light palette for decoration. The optimal color would be white or beige. Glossy surfaces will help to increase the area due to the mirror effect.

Living room

In the living room you can use an unusual shaped design that defines the seating area. Cream shades match a living room in a classic or modern style. By adding wooden beams, the interior will immediately look different - closer to a rustic style.

Corridor and hallway

Light shades in the hallway will give more light. Since city apartments rarely have apartments with hallways with a lot of natural light, choosing a beige shade will be the best option.

Reviews about stretch ceilings

Based on reviews on the Internet, you can judge the quality of the selected product, since these are people who have already experienced the new product for themselves.

Svetlana, Moscow

Before installing the ceiling in the kitchen, I was concerned that I would have to remove all the furniture that was previously provided. However, the craftsmen assured me that everything can be left in place, since installing a stretch ceiling will not affect other elements. The two-tier structure was installed in two days. When everything was ready, all that remained was to wash the floors and wipe the dust from the furniture.

I was concerned that the steam and smoke might damage the canvas, but so far nothing has happened to that. For cleaning I use a damp cloth, everything is quick and easy to clean.

Alexey, Voronezh

My husband and I live on the top floor, with just a roof over our heads. We decided to install a French stretch ceiling in the kitchen. Shortly after the major renovation, he went on vacation for a month. When we returned, I was shocked! In the kitchen there was a huge bubble hanging from the ceiling. It turned out that during our absence heavy rains were approaching.

I had to call the guys who installed the ceiling. They pumped out the water through the holes for the lighting fixtures and pumped out a piece of canvas. After drying, the canvas stretched again, a small yellow spot appeared where the water was. I believe that this is a small price to pay for having all the furniture on the kitchen remained untouched.

You can find a lot of such positive reviews about stretch ceilings on the Internet. Dissatisfied customers are less common, but usually their dissatisfaction is associated with improper installation or low-quality linen material.
