Stretch ceiling for the boy's children's room
Stretch ceilings - A modern and current way to bring the upper part of the room in order, to make it more beautiful. With the right attitude to the questions of choice of material, color and texture, such a decision can ideally complement the image of the boy’s child’s room and ensure an even happier childhood.
Special features
Stretch ceiling is a surface that completely covers the main ceiling. This is not a complete finish, since this surface has no direct contact with the “real” ceiling, which is the best solution in a situation when the ceiling is not very even. The choice in favor of this option allows you to easily eliminate any visual defects.
Since there is a small space between the main and stretch ceilings, you can use it for the benefit of hiding certain communications there. Most often this is the case with electrical wiring, which is carried out to the luminaires, however, an interesting and very popular design move in recent years is to hide the luminaires under the stretch ceiling. The result is a built-in light sources, which looks pretty fresh - and it is very convenient.
To place the lamp usually requires a fairly large gap between the two levels of the ceiling, so the tension part is often made two-level, making the lower the level where the lights are located.
For a more harmonious look, the levels do not always make rectangular - figured versions are also possible.
Materials
When finishing a children's room, special attention should be paid to the quality of the materials used, since they should not be allowed to emit toxic substances into the air or provoke allergies. For this reason, parents should choose materials for the finished product, starting from the quality certificates presented by the seller. It is for this reason that it is usually not recommended to use PVC film as the base material - it has been proven that in certain situations it can be hazardous to the health of the baby.
Most often, fabrics of natural origin, such as satin, are used as the main material for the stretch ceiling in the children's room. Such material exists in a variety of colors and is easy to paint, provides a perfectly smooth surface, and most importantly, is completely harmless to the child.
Gypsum board is used as a bridge between the levels or the base for a stretch ceiling, which generally has the same beneficial characteristics. There is also a ceiling completely made of plasterboard, which is also called tension, although this is not quite true from a technical point of view.
Kinds
If we discard the separation of stretch ceilings by the number of levels and the type of materials used, it is easiest to classify them by appearance. The classification may look like this:
- Ceilings with hand-drawn images. Such pictures usually differ in considerable brightness, and this is interesting for children of preschool or primary school age. Hence, the main motive of images, among which favorite fairy-tale heroes prevail Alternatively, the drawn night sky will fit.
- Ceilings with photo printing. This technology allows you to put on the surface of any image at all - with maximum likelihood.In the boy’s room, such a solution is used relatively rarely, unless the whole room is designed in thematic style corresponding to the hobbies of the young man.
- Fully plasterboard ceilings. This option is less flexible in terms of colors and images, but it is much better suited to create any geometric shapes. To put it figuratively, if fabric ceilings are paintings, then gypsum ceilings are sculptures.
Texture
By invoice stretch ceiling They are divided into perfectly smooth mirror, glossy and rougher matte ones close to them. The use of each of the varieties in its own way is justified.
Mirror ceilings will very well reflect the interior of the room. On the one hand, it looks rather unusual, but on the other hand, it allows you to visually expand the space, so that it is the perfect suspended ceiling for low rooms. It is quite natural that without bright lighting the effect is lost, but be careful - this coating gives a lot of glare. Perhaps this is not the best option for a recreation area, because it will excite the child too much.
Glossy version - these are all the same characteristics as the mirror, but somewhat smoothed. It does not greatly increase the space, but it is easier to perceive and gives less glare.
The use of such products over the sleeping area is allowed, and for the game they will be an excellent choice.
Opaque ceilings do not give absolutely no reflections and glare, such a surface can even be mistaken for an ordinary ceiling. They are neutral and go well with any decoration, with different furniture, which is very important in the nursery, where the growing baby is constantly changing interests and needs to be regularly updated interior.
Color solutions
The choice of color and shade largely depends on the lighting of the room, as well as on the age and preferences of the boy living here. Lighting is important in the way that the smaller it is, the brighter the decoration should be, otherwise the room will leave too depressing impression. For heavily darkened rooms, white cloth is almost the only way out.
With regard to the age of the baby, you need to remember a simple rule: in infancy it is not bright, in kindergarten and elementary grades it is bright, and then it is not bright again. The choice of specific colors depends on the compatibility with the decoration of the walls and the personal preferences of the child. Perhaps you should not use the typical for girls pink and lilac shades, but do not dwell on the standard stereotype that there is nothing better for a boy than blue tones.
If the choice fell on a stretch ceiling, decorated with a complex and multi-color pattern, when searching for the optimal combination with the rest of the interior details, pay special attention to the pattern background. Remember that the colorful ceiling will look strange in combination with faded walls.
Tips for choosing
It may seem that choosing a ceiling for a girl is a little easier - there are supposedly more suitable options, but in practice the choice for boys is also big. In order not to be mistaken, consider the following recommendations:
- For the baby, the most important thing is a peaceful sleep.therefore, you should not choose solutions that will overwhelm and excite him. Choose a tranquil sky with light clouds or a smiling sun.
- Preschooler loves colorful visualization very much, therefore colors and bright colors should be much more. In the design you can beat both your favorite cartoons and the baby’s first dreams. For example, for a child keen on flights, you can not just choose an image of the sky on the ceiling, but also hang small toy airplanes or spaceships over his bed. The design of drywall easily maintains such products.
- In school years, the child appears the first constant hobbieshe is now interested in sports, as well as computer games and much more.If you see that some topic “hooked” on the son seriously and for a long time, beat her on the ceiling, and the boy will be grateful to you.
Examples of spectacular designs
- For adolescents is very important to make their own decisions that directly concerns them. In most cases, parents cannot say with certainty what their son is interested in at that age - he himself does not always understand this, however, an attempt to limit his freedom will not be assessed. In addition, if you do not approve of the hobbies of the child, try not to prohibit, but to dissuade, because in case of conflict, you can lose contact with a teenager.
Examples of spectacular designs
In the first photo - a complex two-level design, where the lower level is matte, with built-in lights, and the top one is glossy, and not blue, but blue. This ceiling looks unusual and its color echoes the decoration of the walls. A preschooler’s room is presented, but the ceiling itself is universal here - suitable for all ages.
The second example is a popular solution in the form of a starry sky, but not just drawn, but reinforced by LEDs. In bright light there is not much difference, but in the dark it looks just gorgeous and able to charm any dreamy baby.
As for the example of truly colorful ceilings, the third photo will do an excellent job with this function. Here, the ceiling is decorated in the form of a collage from the covers of licensed editions of favorite films and cartoons of a child.
