Types of ceilings: standard solutions and a modern approach

The ceiling is a particularly important element that affects the perception of space in any room. Too much depends on its main parameters and key characteristics to be dismissive of this segment of the room.

  • Whitewashing the ceiling (the easiest and oldest way to decorate the ceiling, gradually losing its popularity);
  • Painting the ceiling (an inexpensive and simple method to transform the canvas);
  • Wallpapering the ceiling (such options are distinguished by a particularly long service life, a wide selection of design solutions, a high degree of aesthetics);
  • Decoration with tiles and similar elements (adhesive tiles allow you to give the ceiling any texture: from simulating wood carvings to various original patterns like stucco moldings).
Almost all types of ceilings with the application of finishing materials are easy to care for and for a long time retain their original appearance. If the condition of the ceiling does not require the use of any materials to correct or restore the surface, the design will be very cheap.
