Types of brown stretch ceilings by texture
PVC construction can have different types of surface. Canvases of this format are in demand among consumers and are characterized by a low price offer, ease of installation and excellent performance parameters.

Matte canvas is characterized by a lack of shine, so it should be used to create a stylish and comfortable interior. Due to its design features, this type of coating is an ideal solution for installation in rooms with high ceilings.
Glossy brown stretch ceiling
A unique coating characterized by catchiness and brightness, a mirror effect. It is thanks to its reflective ability that gloss can visually expand a room and create the illusion of high ceilings. Due to the peculiarities of the texture, brown stretch ceilings are not used in the bathroom.

It is the ceiling that will attract the most attention. In order not to create dissonance in the design, experts recommend using glossy canvas as a decorative element, and not as a basis for the ceiling covering.
Gloss is not recommended for use in rooms that are subject to prolonged heating due to various devices (fireplaces, stoves, kitchen equipment). Due to high temperatures, the brown and white stretch ceiling will fade, its surface may become covered with ripples, which will negatively affect the interior as a whole.
Satin brown stretch ceiling

However, you need to try not to overdo it. A design made exclusively in brown tones may look too boring. Therefore, it is worth “dilute” the interior with bright details.
Types of lighting for chocolate stretch ceilings
The use of lighting in the design of a stretch ceiling helps to increase the decorative appeal of the canvas and gives the interior special unique features. In combination with a brown tint, you can use the following types of lighting:
- Spot lighting. These are small light sources installed on the surface of the ceiling in a certain geometric sequence or randomly.
- Contour lighting. Lamps are mounted along the edges of the canvas in large quantities, effectively highlighting the corner areas of the room. Helps visually expand the room.
- Built-in pendant lights. The most striking example of this type of lighting will be a chandelier. It will not only become a key source of lighting, but will also create glare and light patterns.
- Lighting fixtures located behind the cornice. Such lighting is most advantageous from the point of view of decorative functions. If you place the lamps along the contour of the canvas, the effect of a floating ceiling will appear, which will give the impression that the stretch ceiling is fluttering in the air.
The brown stretch ceiling in the kitchen harmonizes effectively with any type of lighting. However, when installing, you need to remember that not all lamps will fit. It is recommended to avoid high-power lamps that can heat the canvas.
