Ceiling in different styles: ideas in the interior

The ceiling in the house can look very diverse and even original, but in addition to its own preferences and features of the surrounding objects, it is necessary to take into account in its design and the specifics of style. There are many different directions, and only by clearly visualizing how this or that option should look will manage to avoid errors during repairs.

Making a Provencal style implies imitation of a traditional rural home on the Mediterranean coast of France. Characteristic features of this approach are a flexible combination of grace and external simplicity, a complete deliverance from pompousness and flatulence.There are several ways to embody the Provencal atmosphere in the ceiling of an ordinary Russian house.

Diversify this traditional approach is possible due to the "descent" of wood on the wall with the formation of a low-key, thoroughly thought-out pattern. It is recommended to smooth out the texture of wooden beams in every possible way due to the decor - curtains made of light fabrics, classic upholstered furniture. The use of translucent inserts with internal illumination looks very good, but it is better to leave the radical color experiments to professional designers.

If you equip the drywall beams with hidden lighting, this will also be a good solution. But it is important to take into account that even large halls with low walls can look worse if the volume elements turn out to be disproportionately large. In the Provencal interior, even a multi-level ceiling will be appropriately perceived.

This type of ceiling appeared at the end of the last century.He emphasizes the highest priority of high technology.

Characteristic features of this option are:

• creation of maximum space;
• the use of only the most advanced materials;
• the use of cold colors (warm shades are used extremely rarely).

The “baroque” format is primarily distinguished by its great height (it cannot be used in low rooms). The space of the ceiling is equipped with the most arches and vaults. A very good step is the use of stucco and framing chandeliers and intersections with walls with embossed edging. The most sophisticated and sophisticated options include painting with frescoes or drawing images using photo printing. It is desirable that the plots correspond to the Renaissance.

As in the case of Provence, the creators of the style were inspired by nature and sought to create as natural as possible. Even if you resort to synthetic materials, it should not be outwardly noticeable. It is imperative to use in untreated wood, and only if it is impossible to do this, the treated structures are used.They must preserve the original texture, since its loss is categorically unacceptable.

A dark wood (a thick timber or even a log) will work very well.

In urban housing to reproduce the same effect will help polyurethane and polystyrene beams. The gaps between them should be sewn with wooden clapboard, you can create a ceiling based on MDF, reproducing the wood texture. It is unacceptable to use PVC panels, because the “wooden” pattern on glossy vinyl will absolutely not fit the concept.

The ceiling in the Scandinavian style repeats the general features of this design direction - an abundance of space and light, the prevalence of subtle tones and natural materials. The concept is perfectly revealed when using wood, and even a relatively high price can hardly be considered a disadvantage. Combining a coarse ceiling structure (supplemented with beams) with light-colored walls in one interior can create an elegant contrast.

The bedrooms will be well perceived combination of key tones - white, beige and brown. Skillful design approach allows not to be afraid of any problems, including excessive color monotony. For attic it is recommended to use laminate, which mimics the look of natural wood quite well, while it is much cheaper and lighter than natural counterparts.

The Japanese style canon is sophistication and mystery., but it is impossible to make the situation too fanciful. The key shape associated with an exotic country is squares and rectangles; You can always create this kind of design on your ceiling, realizing the most daring ideas.

As with all traditional approaches,when creating a Japanese ceiling, it is advisable to use only natural materials (exceptions are made for plastics and synthetic fibers, in appearance resembling oriental design).

The ceiling in the style of minimalism should be strict and concise, so the presence of unnecessary accessories is absolutely unacceptable. It is very important to experiment with the brightness of the light flux and divide it into several parts. At the same time in the perfect design of the lamps themselves should not be seen at all, in extreme cases, you need to take the most simple and elegant sources of light.

Ceiling designs in modern design are distinguished by strict functionality., external good quality and maximum masking of visual defects. The number of design options is very large, especially noteworthy are the elegant illuminated stained glass windows mounted on the ceiling block of a fancy configuration. When you don’t like this solution, you can try the “starry sky over your head” option, which doesn't have to be very dark.

Bold designers sometimes decide on extraordinary experiments,such as the creation of multi-level structures in the form of horizontal panels or drawing on the ceiling imitation of the atlas of the world.

The style of "chalet" is focused on the active use of wood. Since shepherds in the old days categorically avoided staining the ceiling, from year to year it only became darker. Modern people who want to create the most stylish atmosphere and accurately reproduce the canons of “chalets” should initially acquire material in more saturated colors. Replacing the beams can serve as lamellae of plastic or patinated MDF, formed in the form of squares, rhombuses or rectangles.

The style "modern" is absolutely the opposite of the previous version: here you need to be prepared for a fairly substantial material costs. The ceiling is necessarily equipped with a spectacular lamp - a chandelier with crystal elements. As additional elements of the decor, you can use plaster moldings using both symmetric and asymmetric motifs and lines.

The ceilings in the English manner are no less colorful than the modernist ones. Wooden "caisson" solutions fully reproduce the atmosphere of the old British dwellings of the heyday of the empire.There is another way: the use of beams, the intervals between which are covered with white paint. And finally, the English style is also gypsum stucco on monophonic ceilings, this version is no less authentic than the two previous variations.

In conclusion, we consider eco-style with a simple, light and maximally airy format. You can apply not only slats or beams, but also solutions with photo printing, which allows you to demonstrate a randomly selected image. It is worth using an insignificant in size and laconic plot drawing, and not try to create the largest composition possible.
