Combined ceilings - a new design solution (25 photos)

Modern finishing technologies, which have wide capabilities in terms of creating a variety of designs and shapes, as well as combinations of various materials, are most pronounced when decorating a ceiling space, especially in cases where suspended or suspended ceilings are used.

Moreover, combined ceilings are a truly revolutionary invention in design, which is extremely simple with high artistic impact. Their application is especially successful where a non-standard approach is required, which allows reflecting the individuality of the project, embodying unexpected bold ideas.

As a rule, a combined suspended ceiling is a construction of one or two (or more) levels, in which various combinations of both materials and technologies are used. For example, a matte stretch ceiling can have inclusions in the form of a stained-glass window illuminated from the inside or combine plastic panels with mirror surfaces.

Most often, the basis of multi-level combined ceilings are practical and inexpensive plasterboard sheets (GKL). Drywall today is increasingly combined with a stretch ceiling. Both of these technologies combine well, making it easy to create surfaces of arbitrary configurations and any size. Without a material such as GCR, it would be difficult to place mirrored or glass inserts on the ceiling.

In general, the modern design of the ceilings is based on such "three pillars" as:

• stretch ceiling;
• drywall constructions;
• backlight.

Combined stretch ceilings in the interior

Such ceilings usually combine matte and glossy paintings, differing in color and texture. They are used for spacious rooms, and for small rooms.

For rooms with low walls, single-level combined ceilings with different texture and color of the canvases are more suitable. If you choose the right shade of the material and its texture, then such a coating with one level looks quite elegant and can create a cozy atmosphere.

In rooms high enough it will be more appropriate to mount a multi-level coating. Such a design will make it easy to hide all pipes and any communications, while ensuring the separation of the space of the room into separate functional zones.

Ways to combine paintings

The following combinations are considered the most popular.

The combination of various film canvases

In coatings with one level, you can combine different texture and color of the canvas. At the same time, in order to obtain an ideally even junction line, these webs are interconnected using a separation profile.

Combination of fabric cloths with film cloths

This design of combined ceilings is often used in multi-tiered structures.Although their installation is notable for a certain complexity, but as a result, an exclusive ceiling can be created that significantly surpasses the single-tier coating with its originality and beauty. It should always be borne in mind that photo printing can be applied to the fabric base.

Composite ceiling drywall plus film or fabric

Drywall today is increasingly used in ceiling structures, combining it with stretch sheets. Thanks to its use, it is possible to create structural elements of arbitrary shape and color, while combining rectilinear as well as curvilinear inserts from fabric, film, glass, steel and generally from any materials.

Color Design Issues

It is necessary to choose shades so that the harmony of the entire color composition is observed. Typically, monochrome combinations are most appropriate when you need to create a peaceful atmosphere. In this case, a multi-tiered design with subdued illumination will complement well the interior made in soft pastel colors.

When using contrasting colors, you need to be careful. First of all, there should not be too many of them. Often, you can limit yourself to using only two colors. Ceilings with contrasting colors are most often installed either in the kitchen or in the living room, but they can also be suitable for a children's room.

Combined ceiling in the kitchen

Making out the ceiling of the kitchen, you need to choose the type of coating and the type of ceiling design in order to fully use this surface. Combined stretch ceilings in the kitchen in this case are usually the most functional.

In the kitchen there is almost always high humidity, so the chosen coating should be able to withstand its effects. Ideal is the use in ceiling kitchen structures:

• plastic;
• stainless types of metal;
• PVC films;
• glass.

Plasterboard panels can also be used, but only moisture resistant varieties of this building material.

Zoning of the kitchen premises can also be carried out using competently executed ceiling structures that visually delimit the kitchen space into separate areas. It is necessary to think carefully about the location of the fixtures on the ceiling, so that in each section of the kitchen there is an optimal level of illumination.

The color scheme of the ceiling should be in accordance with the rest of the color style of the kitchen.

A two-level ceiling will make it possible to hide the exhaust duct and place lighting fixtures. Moreover, such a design can be created even in a low kitchen. Film stretch coatings are most suitable for the kitchen, as they are not afraid of moisture and can be easily washed if they become dirty.

Combined ceiling in the bedroom

Such a ceiling is an interesting modern version of bedroom decoration. With a combination of colors and textures, he can emphasize the style of this room, bring colors and light into it, transform the space, dividing it into zones. A correctly selected ceiling will add coziness and warmth to the bedroom, and especially if it is a backlit ceiling. At the same time, ceiling lights can be placed on the entire surface of the ceiling and installed in separate plasterboard niches.

In the bedroom, sometimes a tension system is installed, occupying only part of the ceiling. At the same time, such structures are often made in the form of an island of irregular shape, and the rest of the ceiling surface can be painted using acrylic or water-based paint, choosing the right shade, or pasted with photo wallpaper.

It is not recommended to use very bright colors in the bedroom, in this case combinations of neutral tones look better.You can apply a photo image to the stretch fabric, or you can paint the fabric with a special paint that does not crack when stretching the base. Particularly beautiful are the paintings in the bedroom, on which twinkling stars are visible in the dark due to the presence of luminescent paint applied to the ceiling.

Tension coatings may contain materials of various textures and shades, while a combination of paintings is quite common:

• blue and white;
• milky and pink;
• matte and glossy;
• chocolate shade and a shade of light beige.

Multilevel constructions are also quite popular, including film canvases in combination with fabric canvases.

LED lights

The use of LEDs in combined ceilings to organize room lighting is becoming more common along with the use of traditional incandescent lamps. LED strips and lamps noticeably benefit even when compared with such relatively new lighting devices as fluorescent lamps, since they have:

• low price;
• low power consumption;
• durability;
• the ability to control both brightness and color of the glow;
• ease of installation;
• security
• low heat;
• high fire safety;
• excellent decorative qualities, allowing to realize interesting design projects.

The combined ceiling is able to decorate any room, because with the right choice of material and design, it can be suitable for any style of design of a home or office. The purpose of such a ceiling from the point of view of aesthetics is to complement the overall design of the designer. Therefore, its shape, color, and backlighting are important.
