Two-level ceiling in the nursery

Two-level ceiling - a newfangled phenomenon in the field of repair and decoration of premises, is gaining increasing popularity among consumers.

This option refers to the elite, but there are other reasons for the popularity of these products.

The ceiling so decorated looks very attractive. Two-level ceiling is often chosen for the repair of the nursery.

Most often, a two-level ceiling is a tension structure, just made in two tiers.

There are many advantages, so the choice in favor of this type of finish is quite reasonable. Here are its main advantages:

• The second level is able to hide the irregularities of the first. This problem is rare, but still.
• Due to the presence of different levels it is very convenient to divide the room into functional zones. Some believe that zoning occurs strictly on the walls. However, trim the ceiling with success can perform the same function.
• You can hide various engineering communications behind the ceiling., first of all - electrical wiring for lighting. In some cases, fully integrated ceiling lights are used, which take up quite a lot of space, which makes it necessary to greatly reduce the height of the room.

It is a two-level ceiling that allows to solve such a problem. Lamps are simply used only in a certain part of the room - for example, along its walls (where an additional second tier allows them to be placed).

• The visual effect of the use of two-level ceilings is amazing. The simplest thing is to simply make two tiers from a material of different colors, but the central (higher) coating is often decorated with one or another color image, thereby achieving a result on the ceiling that resembles the use of photo wallpaper.

There are many materials from which you can make a two-level ceiling in the nursery.

Usually use fabric, PVC and drywall. Each of these materials has its own characteristics. Sometimes they are even combined with each other - to achieve the best result.

If we talk about fabrics, they are environmentally friendly and do not give glare. It is noted that good material is completely safe - manufacturers impregnate it with special compounds, blocking the likelihood of fire or the development of fungus and mold. It is also a great solution in terms of durability.

Warranty - about 10-15 years, but the actual lifespan can be twice the warranty.

PVC film is somewhat cheaper, it can also withstand flooding, and this material (unlike fabric) can be used after the flood. Low-quality versions of this material are often toxic (due to their synthetic origin).

In general, this is a decorating option, it does not possess any special protective properties, it cannot be used for a long time.

Concerning drywall, it is used for ceilings a little less, but in general its use is also possible.Its plus is that it easily takes any desired shape, so curly jumpers between levels are often made of it.

As for the mounting of a full-fledged ceiling, there beware of accidental deformation or disintegration - due to flooding. This material does not have insulating properties, but there should be no doubt about its ecological compatibility.

The issue of ceiling texture is usually given relatively little attention, but with due consideration of this issue, the texture can be used as a design detail.

In this regard, ceilings made of fabric stand out particularly since they have a characteristic rough structure that stands out well against any other materials and provides an indescribable feeling of warmth and comfort.

PVC film is stretched to a perfectly smooth state, where the surface is perfectly smooth, thanks to which various images are usually applied to this material.

If we talk about the texture of drywall, it is usually also smooth, but its use may be limited to bridges.

The two-level ceiling in the nursery is a design decision, indicating a good aesthetic taste of the consumer, so you cannot be a choice without a due degree of responsibility.

Perhaps only if the color is not chosen white and not black, because children still need brightness. The only exceptions are teenagers. At the same time, avoid using too bright colors of a single-colored ceiling, otherwise it will be difficult for kids to calm down before going to bed.

If we talk about a two-color two-level ceiling, then it is necessary not only to competently think out the combination of colors, but also to fit them into the overall interior design.

With this solution it is very convenient to zone the space - for example, leave a bright color for the playing area, and use a calmer pastel shade for the rest area.

If you decide to use a full-color picture, you should choose it based on the child’s age and personal preferences. It is possible that it is worth even asking him directly how he sees the final result of the work.

If we talk about babies, then their print on the ceiling - these are some images of nature, made in the form of a picture, but without too bright tones.

Preschoolers and younger schoolchildren will be much more pleased with bright images, but then the colorful part of the ceiling should be placed above the playing area, in no case above the working area or the recreation area.

At this age, the best option is favorite cartoon characters, but let's also accept the “real world” design option (ceiling decoration in the form of sky or tree branches, like in a garden).

In this case, small children are still more prone to drawing the image, rather than to photographic accuracy of the picture.

With adolescents, the choice will be much more difficult, because in terms of the diversity of their preferences they are much closer to adults. Here it is necessary to determine exactly the same as with the room of the parents.

For example, the romantic nature of a young girl is quite ready to accept the same sky or garden, but now, perhaps, it is time for a photograph, not a drawing.

As for the young people, they are already close in status to the formed men. They usually prefer severity, so even a plain white finish or a combination of black and white is often the most suitable.

If you need a picture, you should select it in strict accordance with the general style of the room - for example, for a modern high-tech room, select a “metal” canvas with raindrops on it. But the sky or the garden will not fit here at all.

When choosing a two-level ceiling design, parents often cannot grasp the thin line between the “color” and “dim”, so that the child likes it, but at the same time, it doesn’t disturb him too much.

The first photo is a great example of how you can use colors without turning a room into an attraction.

A vivid example of the use of pictures (spring sky with light clouds) is presented below.

And here - a clear proof that even a solid two-level ceiling can look stylish and interesting. The smallest such option will not be very to your taste, but for a teenager this is quite a good decision.

Choosing the most suitable option, do not forget to ask your child - this is very important.
