Ceiling for a girl's child's room

In determining the design of the room ceiling Often they deprive of attention a little, turning it more on walls and floors. In a modern, personality-oriented interior, such a large surface as the ceiling can hardly be pure white anymore - it can and should be used to create an unusual, most interesting design, especially if it concerns the ceiling for a girl’s child’s room.

Today there are several completely different methods of finishing the ceilings, which, on the one hand, allows you to choose a truly optimal solution, on the other - increases the chance of making a mistake in choosing because of the wide variety of options. When deciding on a type of ceiling, you need to remember that it must meet at least three basic requirements:

• Security. You can choose any material, as long as it does not bring harm to the child. It is considered that products of natural origin are on average less harmful than synthetic ones, and this is true, however, pay attention to hypoallergenicity, that is, the inability to cause allergies.

• Reliability and ease of care. Redoing the ceiling is more difficult than re-sticking the same wallpaper on the wall, so it is desirable that the need for its repair does not arise as long as possible. At the same time, the material should not collect dust in itself, because it is often the main cause of allergy. Removing stains, if they suddenly appear on the ceiling, should also not seem too difficult.
• Bright, unique design. The above two qualities are useful for the child, but he himself is unlikely to appreciate them. He is much more pleased with the beauty and compliance with his own hobbies, so you should not forget about this factor either.

In fact, you can come up with at least a dozen ways to trim the ceiling, but in modern children's rooms usually there are relatively few materials that are conveniently sorted into three groups because of the similarity of performance. From them it is necessary to choose:

• Stretch ceiling. At best, they are made from fabrics of natural origin, at worst - from synthetic film. It is very easy to install and allow absolutely any image on its surface, often additionally warm the room and protect it from dampness, almost always improve sound insulation and do not collect dust. Help to hide communication.

• Plasterboard ceilings. Well-known material that has long proven its environmental safety. Somewhat inferior in image brightness to stretch ceilings, but far surpasses them in the ability to create three-dimensional structures of any complexity. Also, drywall helps to hide communications, is actively used for embedding lighting devices.

• Wallpaper or paint. Classic options for wall decoration with the same success will find themselves on the ceiling. They have the same advantages as in the classic place of application - they are inexpensive and easily replaced at any time, repairs can even be done with your own hands. Not a single millimeter of room space is lost, but the simplicity of cleaning and environmental friendliness depends only on the type of wallpaper or paint that the parents have chosen.

Ceilings are classified according to the material used and the number of levels. The first was discussed above, so we move on to the second:

• Single level ceiling - the simplest version of the design, this includes all ceilings, painted and painted over with wallpaper, as well as the majority of stretch. They represent the usual flat surface, behind which, in the case of stretch and plasterboard ceilings, you can hide the necessary communications - first of all, electrical wiring and fire alarms.

• Two-level ceiling usually made of drywall, there are also stretch two-level ceilings, but then the jumpers between the levels are also made of gypsum. Such a construction can divide a room into functional zones, but in children's rooms it is more often used for a pronounced decorative function - the material is given any shape so that it resembles, say, flowers. Such a solution somewhat simplifies the question of how to install lighting into the ceiling, without lowering it too low - in this case, the surface is really low only in the immediate vicinity of the light source, and the rest of the ceiling is made higher.

• There are multi-level ceilings, almost exclusively plasterboard - here already the number of levels and their form depend only on the customer’s imagination.

When choosing the material for the ceiling in color, remember that she should not just like the girl, but also approach the overall interior design of the room. Traditionally, babies are recommended pink color, but it is better not to take it - it is so wiped that it is already considered tasteless, moreover, child psychologists have not advised it in recent years.

In fact, in the room of the girl almost any colors would be appropriate, if only they were in a relatively delicate performance.

If we talk about the combination with the color of the walls, the color of the ceiling should be either close in tone, but not similar, or clearly contrasting, but not contradictory. In both cases, it is better to find some mutually overlapping elements that would unite the seemingly different walls and ceiling into one whole.

Practically all the moments concerning the choice of ceilings have already been touched upon, therefore we will consider the last one - the choice depending on the girl's age. So, a few simple tips:

• If it’s about a tiny little girl, it is better for her to choose a ceiling of very soothing shades, without bright spots, and generally with a minimum of complex details. A child at this age is very important to sleep a lot and quickly fall asleep, so it is not necessary that the ceiling, which is constantly before your eyes, too excited her. If you want some drawing, choose something like a clear blue sky with a smiling sun. Now you do not need to choose the most expensive and durable ceiling - most likely, it will need to be changed in the coming years.

• Children in preschool and primary school age much more want bright colors, and they can be spilled on the ceiling. The main hobby at this stage is, of course, fairy tales, so any shot from a favorite cartoon or just characters from there will be greeted with due enthusiasm. Any images of princesses, fairies and fairytale castles are also relevant.

• Choosing a ceiling for teenagers is the most difficult task. Now you should not do it yourself - at least consult with the hostess of the room, ask her opinion.If you suspect that the rebellious character of the girl will emerge outside, and she wants something that is not only incompatible with the interior, but also dangerous or impractical, select in advance a few acceptable options for you, and already offer them to choose your daughter. If she wants something completely different from your ideas about beauty, do not force, but try to convince, but if it does not work out - better give in, otherwise you can get a conflict in the family and misunderstanding by your own child, which will eventually become fixed.

You will learn more about the design of the ceiling in the nursery from the following video.

The first photo clearly demonstrates several useful principles at once - for example, it shows how to use the pink color so that it would give the room femininity, but not overload it. We also see a complex three-level ceiling, which is not clogged with unnecessary details, that is, it is excellent for the rest of a girl of infancy.

The second example is an example of simplicity.. Although he is a two-level, and even two-color, yet he is so neutral that with success can be used in the room of the girl of any age, and in the room of the boy too. In the photo - the bedroom of a little girl, but this is the “eternal” option if you do not want to do repairs too often, or a good compromise choice, if you can not agree with the teenager about the design of the ceiling.

As for a teenage girl, she can easily give up any prejudices and obvious indications of her gender, therefore such a ceiling, as in the third photo, can also be elected as a daughter.
