| The ceiling is covered with water-based paint. | Also one of the simplest, cheapest, available ways finishes. However, it looks cheap, makes the room cold. All the imperfections of the ceiling surface will be very noticeable even under a thick layer of paint. We do not recommend using this option in the living room. |
| A frame is mounted on the base ceiling, and a plasterboard structure is mounted on it, which requires spring finishing (plastering, painting). | Much more expensive than simple whitewashing and painting, but it allows you to create interesting multi-level structures, conduct communications under them, invent various options lighting, not limited to the chandelier. Disadvantages: it is difficult to mount without knowing the installation technology of such a design, as well as the need exterior finish. Will not save things in case of flooding. |
| Metal cassettes are laid on the mounted frame. | Such a ceiling looks great only in a high-tech interior, in others it will look cold and uncomfortable. More suitable for the kitchen. Mounting, like a plasterboard ceiling, is quite difficult, but still easier. Also, PVC panels should not be used for the living room - they will rather look in the corridor, bathroom, kitchen, but not in the living room.

| Ordinary wallpaper is glued to the ceiling. | How such a ceiling will look depends on the pattern and structure of the wallpaper. Sometimes you can achieve a very interesting effect. Especially if you use wallpaper for painting. This finish option is available to everyone and easy to install. |
| A thin PVC or fabric web is stretched between the walls on a special profile. | Such ceilings can be made in almost any color. They have a lot of advantages, among which is the protection of property from water in case of flooding. True, fabric ones cope with this task worse.

Suspended plasterboard ceilings
Drywall, as one of the easiest materials to process, has long entered our apartments. With its help, walls are leveled, door slopes are equipped and, of course, ceiling structures are created. Drywall is enough large sheets 9.5 mm thick, 1500 to 2500 mm long and 600 to 1200 mm wide, which include a special gypsum dough, which is located between the layers of cardboard. Hence the decoding of the name, which is not difficult to guess.
Drywall is of several types, which differ from each other by the presence different properties, for example, fire resistance or moisture resistance. And depending on this, and the price. For the installation of ceilings, the simplest drywall is usually used - standard or plasterboard. Why is this material so popular?
It has a lot of positive qualities:
- well hides all the flaws of the ceiling surface and does not require its careful preparation;
- allows you to carry out various communications inside yourself, including wiring for lighting installation;
- can be painted and painted for every taste and color;
- has good sound insulation;
- allows you to create interesting designs.
The plasterboard ceiling also has disadvantages - this is a difficult installation (it is practically impossible to cope without an assistant), the possibility of cracks at the joints, the need for external finishing after completion of work, a loss of about 10 cm in height of the room.
Attention! Also, drywall is a fairly heavy material. Please note that when installing the ceiling 1 square meter structures will have a weight of at least 13 kg.
In a spacious living room, a two-level one will look very good. One level, lower, can be equipped with additional lighting. And put a chandelier in the center. Also, a single-level plasterboard ceiling can be very interesting to beat, including decorating suitable for the style of the interior. ceiling plinth, lighting system or paint pictures.
Stretch ceiling
A stretch ceiling is a structure that is created from a thin fabric stretched between special profiles fixed to the walls. Now this type of finish is the most popular and widespread, because, thanks to the variety of applications, it can be used everywhere, including in the hall.
Stretch ceiling is fabric and PVC film. The first is created from a thin polyester thread impregnated with special polymers. And the second option is a thin PVC film.
On a note! Since the fabric for stretch ceilings is produced in rolls up to 5 m wide, such coatings are usually mounted without seams, which is why they are called "seamless". But PVC ceilings in spacious rooms, they are more likely to have welded seams, since the usual width of rolls of film is from 1.5 to 3 m.
Also stretch ceilings are glossy and matte. PVC film can have absolutely any color - from pure to saturated. The fabric canvas is not so diverse in texture and color, but it “breathes” due to micropores and makes it very interesting to beat the lighting.
The advantages of stretch ceilings are obvious:
- they are very beautiful and allow you to choose the most suitable option or look for a particular interior style;
- the fabric ceiling can be painted by hand, and, like on a PVC canvas, any pattern can be applied using photo printing;
- they will keep the property in case of flooding of the apartment from above;
- allow you to hide communications, including wires when installing lighting;
- lighting on such ceilings can be anything: you can install a chandelier or spotlights, as well as make or;
- installation of a stretch ceiling structure is simpler, faster, easier than a plasterboard ceiling;
- they are durable.

Lighting
An important aspect of creating a beautiful ceiling in the living room is taking care of the right lighting. Not only does it need to be bright enough and adjustable, but it also needs to be installed nicely and in line with the overall style of the interior of the living room.
Lighting in a modern hall must necessarily meet several requirements:
- the presence of central lighting (chandeliers);
- the presence of lamps or lighting;
- clear zoning of the living room with lighting fixtures.
For lighting equipment, chandeliers, sconces, spotlights, LEDs are used. The last two types are often used to organize lighting.
On a note! LED Strip Light can become the main lighting "device". The fact is that using it, you can create a luminous ceiling. The tape is laid along the draft ceiling in rows, and then covered with a translucent film or cloth. And it turns out a stretch luminous ceiling.
When correct location spotlights, in some cases they allow you to completely get rid of the central lighting device. The amount of light in this case will be regulated by the number of lights on.
In the living room, spotlights can be placed in a circle in the center of the room and along the perimeter, in two circles in the center, in semicircles at the corners of the room, and so on. The most important thing is not to overdo it with their number and follow the basic rules of symmetry. Chaotically located lamps are unlikely to look harmonious in the hall.
How to install spotlights on the ceiling
Note that their installation is possible only on suspended or suspended ceiling structures. Since now the leaders among finishing materials are stretch ceilings, we will find out how to install such lamps on them.
Step 1. Before starting work on installing the ceiling, draw an exact diagram of the entire structure and mark the places where the fixtures will be installed.
Step 2 Transfer the diagram to the ceiling and get ready to install the required number of fixtures.
You will need to attach fixtures for lighting fixtures to the ceiling. To do this, attaching these fasteners in the marked places (where the lamps will be), mark with a pencil the points where you need to make holes for the dowels. Drill holes and use dowels to fasten the fasteners to the ceiling. Make sure that all the bases for the lamps are on the same level.
Step 3 Now mount all the electrical wiring by connecting it to the network and checking for operability.
Step 4 Stretch the ceiling covering and proceed with the further installation of fixtures. The installation process is described in more detail in the article about.
Step 5 Locate (carefully feel for) the exact location of the fasteners. Take reinforcing thermal rings (they protect the web from tearing) and glue with special glue just under the fasteners.
Step 6 Cut out a hole for the lamp exactly according to the inner diameter of the glued ring with a clerical knife.
Step 7 Pull out the connected wire and install the decorative edging of the lamp.
Step 8 Plug in the light. Everything, you can turn on the light and admire the beautiful backlight.

As we can see, the materials that exist today make it possible to implement almost any design solutions and decorate the ceiling in the hall in accordance with your wishes and possibilities. The main thing is to clearly define the style in which the room will be made and, based on this, select the color, texture and material for the ceiling.
Renovation is a time-consuming process of transforming a space that affects all surfaces of a living space. An important part is the ceiling, without which the interior will not look complete. Today we will talk about how you can decorate the ceiling in the hall.
A bit of history
Ceiling decoration has become of particular importance for the overall style of the room relatively recently. AT Soviet time when leveling reigned everywhere, no one thought about what kind of ceiling to make in the hall. Usually it was simply whitewashed or painted, and a traditional chandelier was hung in the center. Stucco molding was often used in old houses, including a border around the perimeter and a relief rope for hanging a lamp. Today, views on the design of the ceiling in the hall have changed a lot. Now the ceiling is a full-fledged interior object, which should be original and stylish on a par with walls, floors and furniture.
Varieties of ceilings
Decorators recommend considering the design of the ceiling in the hall individually. The main thing is that the design and lighting scenario stylistically match the style of the room. Consider the main options modern finishes ceilings:
- Stretch ceiling in the hall, which are perhaps the most sought after Russian market. Their popularity is due to the huge variety of structural, color and texture solutions and the speed of installation. Glossy or matte ceilings will look good. Cloths can be chosen in plain color or with any image. For large areas, a two- or three-level ceiling finish in the hall is better suited. With the help of stretch ceilings, unique structures of a wave-like or other bizarre shape are often created, complementing them with original lighting. Almost every stretch ceiling is accompanied by spotlights, thanks to which the room is filled with light even in the corners. The material for such a ceiling finish is used both seamless and with inconspicuous seams. The advantage of stretch fabrics is their moisture resistance, durability, practicality and beautiful appearance. If earlier they were available only to rich people, now due to the rapid development of the market building materials There are a huge number of economical and budget options.
- Dropped ceilings in the hall - these are complex structures made of drywall. Using this inexpensive material, you can create any shape on the ceiling, from simple geometric shapes to the most complex multi-level elements, curved steps and smooth lines. Such ceilings look luxurious and elegant, while surprisingly reliable. Plasterboard ceilings in the hall are a surface fixed on a metal base, inside which you can hide the wiring, ventilation pipes and other communications. Finishing consists in pasting with special ceiling wallpaper, which is painted in the desired color. Holes can be made in drywall for any type of lamps, having previously discussed the lighting design of the room with the workers. You can combine diffused and directional light, highlight paintings or other elements on the walls. Suspended ceilings are made when it is necessary to create complex shapes.

The living room belongs to the multifunctional premises of an apartment or a private house. In it, households can spend their time in the family circle, receive their guests. Therefore, the correct design of the ceiling in the hall plays leading role in creating comfort and coziness.
Ceiling options
For an error-free choice of ceiling, you should analyze design features finishing area, the style of the future design of the room. When creating the interior of the ceiling, there are two main options:
- Single-level. All structural elements located in the same plane.
- Multilevel. The design consists of two, three or more levels.
In turn, the second type can be divided into several types, depending on the material used:
- tension;
- suspended (from drywall);
- combined.
The main criterion for choosing a ceiling option is the height of the walls of the room. Based on this, the design of the ceiling system is selected simple or complex.
Advice. When creating a unique ceiling, designers recommend using multi-level combined ceiling systems. With their help, it is easy to perform zoning and visually expand the space of the room.
single level
Single-level ceilings are designed for low rooms, due to the scarcity and space savings. Usually they are simply pasted over with wallpaper and, as a rule, painted, or puttyed and further painted. As an additional decoration, you can use various decorative elements made of plaster, polystyrene, etc.
Multilevel
This design is ideal for rooms with high walls, where lowering the ceiling to a certain level will not have a negative effect on the interior as a whole. They provide great potential and ample opportunities to create a unique design, both from a practical and aesthetic point of view. This task is exactly handled by multi-tiered suspended drywall constructions, tension (mounted) or their combinations and combinations. For greater expressiveness and exclusivity, it can be supplemented with well-mounted and organized lighting.
The design of ceiling multi-level systems is created individually for each room. When creating it, the future design of the living room, the wishes of the owners, the layout of the room and the materials for the construction of the ceiling system are taken into account.
Stretch ceiling for the hall
In the course of development two-level ceilings Stretch and combined ceiling structures are the most popular. They look more chic and elegant in comparison with suspended ceilings. In addition, they have a number of advantages:
Ceiling coverings for this design are presented in a wide color range with different type surface, which does not limit the imagination of designers. For the price, they win in comparison with the chic multi-level designs made of.
Color and surface finish
Depending on the texture of the cloth, the living room can be decorated in different styles. Matte surfaces are ideal for creating a strictly and concise interior, moreover, it is the most economical option. Satin with a slight mirror reflection and gloss will visually expand the room. This option is perfect for rooms with low ceilings to create two-level ceilings. For maximum effect, it is recommended to use pastel colors. A glossy PVC canvas will visually expand the living room in volume.
When choosing a color scheme, designers advise using simple rules:
- Give preference to your favorite shades. First of all, the color should have a beneficial effect on the tenants of the apartment.
- It should be in harmony with other colors present in the design and interior.
- Dark colors visually reduce the space, while light colors expand it.
Attention! According to the rules of color dark colors, and shades create an oppressive perception of the room, while light ones, on the contrary, help to improve comfort and create coziness in the room. This important nuance must be taken into account when choosing a color scheme.
Modern technologies allow you to apply any pattern, collage and painting to the ceiling canvas. This advantage is often used by the creators of the interior to give it a twist. Therefore, you can purchase custom-made ceiling film with your favorite landscape, painting or photo print.
In addition to films, PVC and vinyl, fabric fabrics for ceilings are also produced. They are great for a living room made in classical style. To decorate the hall in Art Nouveau style, a combination of a glossy surface of bright colors is used in a contrasting frame, or in combination with pastel colors on the different levels. Hi-tech involves the use of mirror and reflective planes.
Dropped ceilings
Drywall systems can also be used to create two-level ceilings. They, as well as hide all the irregularities and any defects in the ceiling. The construction of such systems begins with the assembly of a frame from a metal profile, which is subsequently sheathed with sheets of drywall. But when compared with installation, this process is more time consuming and leaves a lot of debris and dirt. With a further analogy with suspended ceiling structures, we see that their service life is a maximum of 7 - 8 years. Saving money is achieved by using cheap material and low labor costs. Among these disadvantages, the advantages should be noted:
- the ability to perform a surface configuration of any complexity - arched, curvilinear, broken at any angle;
- the construction technology does not require specialized equipment, everything can be done by hand;
- has good refractory characteristics;
- a wide range of suitable lighting fixtures;
- at finishing any surface texture can be recreated.
Surface plasterboard ceiling can be painted acrylic paints on your own or invite professional artists to make it unique or maintain the design style.
ceiling lighting
Spotlights (spotlights) are used as lighting fixtures for stretch ceilings. They do not require additional fasteners. For mounting more massive lamps and chandeliers, it is necessary to provide additional mounting systems that will take the entire load. The plasterboard version is less whimsical to the installation of lighting. You can also use spotlights and massive versions of devices without the use of additional structures. In addition to the main lighting, additional ceiling lighting is often used to further emphasize the style of the living room interior or design intent. For this, fluorescent lamps are used.
Properly selected colors, high-quality and environmentally friendly material will help to recreate the unique cosiness and comfort in the hall. If you still could not decide on the choice of ceiling finishes, then it is better to seek help from designers. After all, the interior of the entire room depends on this element of the room.
