Suspended ceilings in the children's room

Parents approach the repair of a children's room with special responsibility and love. One of the important elements of the room is ceiling. Modern technologies allow to make it not just perfect, but to create a real work of art.

A suspended ceiling is a structure that consists of a metal frame and a material attached to it that serves as a cover.

• Allow you to hide all the imperfections of the surface, completely covering them.
• Perform soundproofing function, providing a comfortable stay in the room.
• Prevent the spread of cold air flow, thereby providing thermal insulation protection.
• The design of the ceiling allows you to hide under it various cords, cables, pipes, which makes the appearance of the room more aesthetic.
• The variety of modern materials allow to turn the repair of the ceiling into a creative process.
• Suspended ceilings provide an opportunity to install on them lamps, including LED, which allows you to make the design of the room even more original and reduce energy costs.

According to the level of complexity of design, suspended ceilings are divided into single-level and two-level.

• Single-level constructions are considered the simplest in execution and the most budget. With their help, you can easily imitate a regular painted ceiling or turn a canopy into an artistic picture by painting it. Also, a good decoration of such a ceiling will be stucco.
• Two-tier structures are more complex in execution and therefore cost more. This ceiling is able to visually change the size of the room, divide it into zones. The use of multi-level design to the greatest extent makes it possible to implement any design idea.

For suspended ceilings suitable a large range of materials.

Preference for this ceiling give for ease of installation and subsequent simple maintenance. In addition, it is one of the most economical options. The most popular are the panels of wood and plastic.

• Pros. The design allows you to add sound insulation and heat insulation. The canopy of the panels is waterproof, environmentally friendly, durable, allows you to embed lighting.
• Minuses. This type of canopy has a limited shape that will not allow to implement many design ideas. In addition, it is designed for small spaces, since panels will look simple in large rooms. The panels at an inexpensive price look appropriate, so it is better to choose more expensive.

The original solution can be used - a mix of panels and drywall.

This type of canopy in recent times is gaining popularity, because it allows to realize the most daring artistic fantasies.

• Pros. AT drywall no toxic substances, it is odorless, flame retardant, is a breathable material, absorbs excess moisture and evaporates it if the air is dry. In addition, a multi-level ceiling can be made of drywall, give it any shape.
• Minuses. Drywall "eats" most of the space, reduces the height of the room. Due to the fragility of the material is complicated by its transportation and operation.It is not water resistant, and after several years of operation, cracks may appear at the joints of the sheets.

This type of canopy gained popularity due to its low cost and speed of installation.

• Pros. It is an eco-friendly material with sound insulation and heat-insulating properties, high wear resistance. In addition, the plates of mineral fibers perform a reflective function, allowing you to save on electricity, visually increase the size of the room.
• Minuses. It is suitable only for apartments with high ceilings, as it occupies almost a quarter of the ceiling, does not have water resistance, gives the room an office style, is not convenient for the implementation of a diagonal design.

Parents can embody on the ceiling in the nursery any of their creative ideas, sometimes the most extraordinary.

It is not recommended to use the color scheme that traditionally characterizes a child’s sex and cool colors in the design of a child’s room. It is better to use pink and blue colors in combination with other colors.

For the ceiling in the room of the girl, the best options for color solutions are combinations of white, beige, light gray with purple and violet colors.

For the ceiling in the boy’s room, combinations of white and gray with turquoise, blueberry, ultramarine, emerald, and khaki colors will be optimal.

Versatile colors can be a combination of light colors with lemon, sea buckthorn, coral, forest green color, lime.

One of the options for the original design of a canopy in the nursery can be a theme of nature. Children love nature and everything connected with it. So, on the ceiling you can depict the sun, clouds with birds, a rainbow, stars, space. In addition to natural phenomena, on a shed you can depict animals or, for example, an aquarium with fish, or tropical butterflies.

Another design option is an image of a character or a whole plot from a cartoon that a child loves.

For boys, the canopy can be made with a male theme, depicting cars, airplanes, ships. Girls like flowers, princesses on the ceiling.

A universal option could be the ceiling, which shows a repeating pattern. It can be geometric shapes, stripes, polka dots, speck, and more.

When choosing the type of suspended ceiling in the nursery, you must consider the following criteria:

• Material. Recently, natural materials are relevant: wood, plaster, metal, glass.
• Fireproof. Since the canopy material is intended for a living room, it is especially important to pay attention to its fire resistance. Ceilings made of plaster, metal and glass have this property.
• Environmental friendliness. In the selected material should not contain harmful and toxic substances. The composition of the material should be as simple as possible. To clean materials include wood, glass, metal, plaster.
• Wear resistance. The ceiling of gypsum calmly transfers the temperature change, but is afraid of water. The metal ceiling loses its properties when temperature changes and is susceptible to corrosion due to moisture. But most of all, the ceiling of wood does not tolerate climate change. And best of all tolerates temperature changes and moisture glass.
• Functionality. Attention should be paid to the complexity of installation, insulation, sound insulation, reflective properties, as well as the suitability of the material and design for the implementation of design solutions.
