Stretch ceilings in the nursery

Tensioner ceiling - the actual solution for the interior. And if for common rooms it is not something ordinary, then in the nursery it is often afraid to use it, referring to its non-ecological compatibility and fragility. All these factors are easy to refute, because today the quality of this coating is growing and improving.

Stretch ceilings have a number of features that can be considered both pros and cons.

• protection against dampness and flooding due to PVC material from which it is made.
• impact resistance is an important quality for a nursery.
• durability - with proper operation can last up to 20 years.
• heat and sound insulation - in the children's room it is protection from neighborhood disturbances and a pledge of good sleep for the child.
• convenience - they are not whimsical in their care, have antistatic properties, do not need special surface preparation for installation, easily help to hide defects or protruding parts on the ceiling, and are used for smooth transitions between a wall and a ceiling.
• decor - allow not to be limited to white surface, and allow you to choose the design for any design and color scheme.

• mechanical damage - intolerable to cuts and punctures, with such “microtraumas” it is difficult to restore the canvas.
• the seams - this flaw is associated with the first flaw - when you try to glue a large ceiling area all the seams will be noticeable, of course, it will not stand out, but still you will not get a flat surface.
• lamps - with such a coating is dangerous to use incandescent bulbs with a power higher than 60 watts and halogen - 30 watts. However, save the position of special protective panels and elongated chandeliers.

Why consider that the stretch ceiling is harmful? The main delusion is that they form a “greenhouse effect”, and as a result, mold, fungus. It all depends on good ventilation. When choosing vinyl, it is imperative that you ask for certificates from the seller, enlisting quality and safety. Time does not stand still, and manufacturers care about their customers, creating surfaces with an "antistatic" effect and protection against allergies.

• PVC - the most common type of stretch. They are economical and allow you to choose a canvas for any room design thanks to photo printing. Water resistance is another important quality. As a result - ease of cleaning. But there is still a minus - the fragility and the impossibility of restoring the original look, in case of a puncture, the ceiling will have to be completely dismantled.

• Fabric Base - polyester thread. This species has knitted weaving, and resembles a grid. Due to this, it possesses high "breathing" qualities. The width of the canvas is wider than that of PVC. Often used in rooms with a large area, because this coating is seamless and adaptable to any shape. With all this, they can be washed and vacuumed, and even painted. For such functionality, the manufacturer exposes a high price, but it corresponds to the quality.

The canvas for the ceiling can be both seamless, and such an installation is convenient for small rooms, as well as suture, but here it must be taken into account that the seams on some types of coating may be noticeable.

• Glossy. The gloss and gloss of the ceiling make you be careful when choosing, because it can overload the interior. It also looks somewhat "cold."At the same time, the ceilings look high and self-sufficient with no additives in the decor, it can be not loaded with photo registration.
• Matt. Such a surface is much cheaper, and the quality is not inferior. There are invisible stitches on it, because it looks like high-quality plaster. A great option for classic and traditional interior.
• Sateen. Makes an average between matte and glossy ceiling. It has a soft gloss with silk effect. It is the best look for a bedroom, and the pictures on it look neat and soft.

A simple one-level ceiling fits everywhere.

The levels will help to add a visual height, the effect of full presence at a celestial or space theme. Levels may have different shapes and quantities.

Traditional white gloss can be used as an independent covering, as the elements of the room are beautifully reflected in it, and the reflection becomes the decor.

For girls, these are heavenly themes, angels, flowers. Bright shades and a combination of favorite colors of girls is welcome. For boys, calm colors, space photos will do. In adolescents, the choice often falls on the starry sky, maps, military style, calmness in melancholic, and bright spots in choleric individuals.

For two children, it is perfectly possible to combine different colors, zone them according to the taste of children, their passions and hobbies.

Choosing color, do not forget about the psychological properties of each. For the bedroom, the colors should be light, moderately bright, so as not to overload the children's eye. Your child's mood will be directly related to the color decision. The traditional option - quiet beige. But this does not mean that it should be monotonous and boring - combine it with other color shades.

If a room has sectors for different occupations, this will further untie your hands and help you to “play” with colors. Orange and yellow, for example, is perfect for the study area, as they activate brain activity. Light pink and blue ceiling soothes hyperactive children. Neutral colors - beige, green, milky shades and others. But brown and dark colors, concise for adults, are not suitable for the nursery, as they depress the psyche and spoil the mood. The main thing is not to overdo it when placing these visual accents.

Combining with other types of ceilings is also an interesting solution. Gloss and matte surfaces will create contrast, will allow to divide the space. Level solution - glossy base and framed with lamps. Such a game of materials allows you to increase the space, make the ceilings higher and, of course, embody various design moves and ideas.

A universal base would be a white or beige ceiling. But around you can create levels with different colors and designs according to the changing age of the child.

Another interesting solution is color symmetry and asymmetry. Elements turning into gloss will create an interesting effect in the room and help to push the walls apart.
