Despite the latest fashion trends and the popularity of trendy interiors, classic ceilings are also very popular as a reception in the decoration of residential and office premises. Of course, there are countless tricks and professional secrets on how to make a stretch ceiling in a classic style perfectly smooth and perfectly smooth.
An indisputable advantage of the classical style in the process of decorating ceiling surfaces is its flawless combination with almost any direction used in the design.
Versatility in classic finishes
The classic drywall ceiling is the most popular option for finishing the ceiling surface, even when it comes to far from the classic direction in interior design. Classical ceilings made on the basis of modern materials, as a rule, are built from plasterboard sheets (GKL) from domestic and foreign manufacturers. Often beautiful decorative elements are used to emphasize the severity, restraint and laconicism of the recreated interior.
However, the classics are not as conservative as they might seem at first glance. Recently, a reception has become popular among interior designers, where the ethnic, modern or even a mixture of several modern stylish trends is balanced, as it were, by reconstructing the ceiling in a classic style. The color scheme remains more than standard. The choice often falls on pure white or pastel shades: beige, creamy, “linen” or “ecru”.
At the discretion of the designer or the owner of the premises, additions may be made:
- stucco elements. To place such additions is quite acceptable not only along the perimeter of the ceiling of the room, but also around the central ceiling chandelier. The stucco molding perfectly copes with the task of highlighting the source of light, giving the room solemnity, pomposity and special charm;
- painting of individual parts with “gold” or “silver” paints. For several seasons, the effect of “aged bronze” has not lost its relevance, both in decoration and in decorative elements;
- fixing an additional ceiling plinth or composition of several types of skirting boards.
What is important, modern technologies used to create building and finishing materials can significantly reduce the weight of the entire structure as a whole, and its individual elements in particular. Polyurethane foam skirting boards are surprisingly lightweight, yet durable and flexible. Such qualitative characteristics of the products make it possible to use them not only around the perimeter of rectangular rooms, but also for creating rounded shapes when framing niches, chandeliers or ceiling sconces in a classic interior or when decorating the ceiling in a bedroom.
Plaster stucco molding is a decorative technique that is quite common in interior design not only for the living room, but also for the classic bedroom. Wherever such decorative trifles are used, it is important to remember the correct fastening and reliability of the connecting mechanisms. Particularly important is the question of installation and fastening, when it comes to suspended multi-level ceilings.
Features of multi-level ceiling structures
Complex classic drywall constructions are complicated only at first glance. Even a layman in the field of construction will be able to realize such an idea in arranging his apartment or house, regardless of the area of a particular room. It is enough to study the step-by-step algorithm for the construction of a two-level ceiling and the stages for the preparation of materials (blanks) for the upcoming repair work.
The classic design of the ceilings, where several levels are located at a certain distance from each other, is quite popular in the decoration of both residential and public buildings. This proves the unconditional universality of the finishing technique. For example, the gypsum ceiling in the hall, consisting of two levels, and possibly more, is effectively complemented by light sources. Here you can choose from spotlights of various capacities and directions, scattered across the entire surface of the ceiling, and a central chandelier that fits well not only into the decor of the ceiling itself, but also complements the decoration of the entire room or room.
Using drywall guarantees an excellent result. The main reasons for choosing such a building material are:
- obtaining a perfectly smooth and even surface;
- the ability to give the ceiling any color, shade, or even combine several techniques of painting and combining colors;
- hide damage, seams and joints between floor slabs, as well as mask all communication connections, elements and devices;
- refusal of long dirty plastering and grouting.
With the plasterboard ceiling technique, even the most daring ideas and creative projects become real. Simple alignment of the ceiling has long been recognized as impractical and impractical measure during rent. Funds for this are spent, as a rule, a lot, and sometimes the result is not what was expected. Having considered the approximate costs for each type of work, many craftsmen come to the conclusion that investing in the purchase of drywall sheets and installing a ceiling structure is much more profitable than conducting a full range of leveling and painting work.
The only thing you should pay attention to when starting work on decorating the ceiling with two-tier structures is the correct measurement and the accuracy of cutting the sheets. It will not be superfluous to pre-calculate and clarify the necessary type of profile guides. Not only the reliability of fastening, but also the overall service life of the constructed structure depends on them.
Material Combination Capabilities
Stretch ceiling in the living room can be made in several versions, and the color scheme, and the texture of the material, and a possible combination of forms, but in addition to the fact that you can combine a ceiling PVC fabric, the combination of classic gypsum panels with modern PVC ceilings is also welcome. There are practically no restrictions in this solution. Considering the latest trends in the decoration of living rooms, such techniques in suspended ceiling structures are often found in the decor of the bedroom, in the kitchen, in the office and guest room.
Speaking about the kitchen in the classical style, it is worth noting that the ceiling in two levels allows you to achieve the following:
- unobtrusive zoning of space;
- correct light accents;
- hide all unnecessary elements and communications;
- the ability to complement other decorative elements: niches, interior lighting. In gypsum ceiling panels, the base of the racks for dishes and household appliances is perfectly attached.
As well as plasterboard ceilings in the hall, kitchen ceiling structures consist of two tiers. If gypsum material and a PVC cloth are combined, then it is permissible to proceed immediately with the fastening of the drywall layer. In this case, it is fixed directly to the floor slabs.PVC fabric is pre-measured and cut out in accordance with the perimeter and area of the repaired building. You can mount it already at the stage of assembly of the gypsum box.
In the event that the surface of the ceilings does not have any obvious flaws (defects), then all work on leveling and puttying is performed on the sheets before assembly into the box and, accordingly, its fastening to the ceiling. After processing and giving the surface of the gypsum sheets the desired color, texture and allowing to dry, you can fix the entire prepared workpiece to the installed profile.
