Ceiling design in a children's room (50 photos): beautiful design ideas
Content
The ceiling in the children's room should be a reflection of not only the general interior, but also the inner world of the child. For children under 10 years of age, the design of the room does not matter much. Everything related to interior decoration is at the discretion of the parents. For older children, the room becomes a way of self-expression. Therefore, psychologists recommend updating the interior in the child’s room every 5-7 years.
Color
Traditionally, the ceiling is decorated in bright colors. A pretty classic decision is to make a blue or blue ceiling in the boy’s bedroom or pink in the girl’s bedroom. A yellow ceiling of a light shade (closer to beige or powder color) will be relevant for the design of a common nursery.
The modern design of the ceiling in the nursery is non-trivial ideas and original decor. It will be interesting to look at the blue ceiling imitating the sky: with large clouds during the day and luminous stars at night. The sky can be made using luminous phosphor-based paints.
The original idea is to use photo printing. This can be a starry sky, a continuation of a wall decor (for example, a green jungle) or an illustration to your favorite fairy tale. For photo printing, you can use ordinary wallpaper or stretch ceilings. Photo printing looks great in rooms with high ceilings.
Multilevel false ceilings should combine light color with more saturated: green, pink, blue, violet, yellow or blue. You can make a bright color ceiling with an original pattern. For two-level false ceilings, it is better to choose a white base, complementing it with colored details. Psychologists recommend using pure colors for decorating children's rooms:
- Green color is associated with nature, develops a sense of justice and responsibility. Green helps to find contact with each other.
- Yellow - tonic and invigorating, stimulates mental activity.
- Blue color calms, gives a feeling of security.
- Blue is the cheerful color of creative impulses that enhances aesthetic perception.
- Delicate pink personifies modesty and femininity. Pink color affects qualities such as mercy and sentimentality.
Wallpaper
You can decorate the ceiling in the nursery with beautiful wallpaper. The assortment is so large that choosing the desired shade and drawing will be very simple. Types of wallpaper are diverse: from flat paper to wallpaper with a voluminous soft bas-relief. The matte ceiling, pasted over with wallpaper, can be made more interesting by adding mirror elements, colored neon lights or funny stickers. These simple decor methods will help diversify the interior. Stickers come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. To make the room a starry sky, you can purchase wallpaper with a pattern or phosphor stickers. The child will surely enjoy watching the starry sky at night lying in his bed. Which option to choose is up to you.
An example of another idea is the use of wallpaper in the central part of the ceiling, and along the perimeter to make a hinged structure equipped with a backlight. Such a ceiling design will look like an attic window through which the sky is visible. This will make the ceilings visually slightly higher and the room more spacious.
Paint
Paint is used for the decor of plain wallpaper, painting wooden or plasterboard designs. The question arises: what paint to use? When choosing a paint, it is worth remembering its chemical properties. The ceiling in the children's room must be covered with harmless quick-drying paints, forming a smooth matte or glossy surface.
Water-based paints are perfect for decorating the ceiling of a children's bedroom. They are non-toxic, easy to clean for new staining. In terms of material costs - a fairly economical option.
Acrylic paint is unpretentious to surface irregularities. Quick-drying, odorless. It is very resistant to sunlight, so it can be used in a children's room located on the sunny side of the house.
Latex and silicone paints are extremely durable. These types of coatings are odorless. The ceiling painted with such a paint can be left for 5-7 years without worrying about the appearance.
Dropped ceilings
False ceilings are very popular. The design may be two-level or multi-level. For the manufacture of volumetric compositions of a false ceiling, drywall is used. Options can be very different, from playing around the perimeter of the ceiling, to bizarre curved shapes like a flower, crescent or cloud. The surface can be coated with glossy or matte paint.
This ceiling decoration of the bedroom boasts good sound insulation, spot lighting and local lighting. The presence of spotlights helps to avoid vision problems due to poor lighting. And the child will certainly enjoy the idea of choosing the lighting zones himself.
Stretch ceiling
Stretch ceiling in the nursery - a creative solution. You can choose any color of glossy vinyl canvas or design a picture using photo printing. But the stretch ceiling cannot be installed independently, unlike other types of finishes. The design requires professional skills and special equipment.
Stretch ceilings can be combined with plasterboard. This allows you to create more interesting lighting, beating the details of the decor. But the tension coating is only suitable for an adult child’s room.
Fabric ceilings
Under fabric ceilings, three types of coating are considered:
- Gluing the ceiling with a cloth (fabric wallpaper).
- Decor ceiling fabric.
- Stretch ceiling from fabric.
Which one is better to choose?
The first type is suitable for a children's bedroom, made in the style of Baroque, Empire or Rococo. Such styles are suitable for decorating a girl’s bedroom. You need to use dense fabric wallpaper. Natural fabric - tapestry, brocade, velvet, satin (for a glossy surface) - should be used only on perfectly flat wooden surfaces.
The second type, the decor of the ceiling with a fabric, will suit the style of Provence or Shabby chic, relevant for the girls bedroom. In the boy’s bedroom, this design method will fit into a pirate or marine theme, resembling a sail ship. Especially if you add blue lighting. The fabric drapes on the ceiling with beautiful folds, creating a semblance of a cloud. Translucent fabrics are used - organza, veil, bazher. The fabric may be colored or plain. The lighting in the room should be as bright as possible, because the fabric absorbs light. The decor will look very impressive and unusual. But remember the dust that accumulates on makeshift clouds.
The third type of stretch ceiling is described in paragraph above. Drawings and ornaments fit well on the fabric, which is suitable for both the boy and the girl. Used matte polyester fabric, characterized by increased strength.
Wooden ceilings
In the children's bedroom, the wooden ceiling creates coziness, diffusing warm yellow light, allowing you to move from the high-rise building to the village house.Wooden ceilings are typical for rooms in the style of loft, country, chalet and modern classics. Wooden ceilings absorb noise well, which is important for a child’s room. Stickers for decor are easily glued onto a flat wooden surface.
Imitation of wooden floors is relevant for rooms with high ceilings. If you use dark wood in the decoration, then visually the space of the room will decrease. Using light rocks will help optically make ceilings taller.
