White ceiling? Forget it! The designer suggested 6 new solutions

  • Sep 11, 2021

White ceiling is a universal solution. It looks laconic, simple and "clean". However, if you want to diversify the space and add dynamics, you should consider other finishes and decorative solutions. Some of them can also help in solving the problem of zoning or the lack of a variety of textures.

Designer Ksenia Kharkova talked about the existing alternatives.

6. Concrete ceiling

The easiest way to decorate a ceiling is to keep the concrete slabs away from the developer. If the surface is even, it is enough to prime it and cover it with a transparent matt varnish. The seams between the slabs and small bumps add authenticity to the exterior and enhance the character of the loft in the interior.

You can imitate the concrete texture using decorative plaster.

5. Lamps as decor

You can also transform the ceiling with the help of lighting fixtures. Dark track lights on the ceiling will give the interior a graphic touch, and in the case of a light background, it will also be possible to play in contrast.

In addition, with their help, you can visually zone a room, for example, outline the boundaries of a recreation area in a combined kitchen-living room.
Also, an unusual solution can be a backlight hidden under the glass. Previously, such lighting could only be found in offices or shopping centers, but today it is also used to decorate residential premises.

4. Painting

An atypical finishing option may be ceiling painting. It is important here that the drawing does not look "heavy" - it is better to give preference to abstract or geometric images.

In some thematic, for example, Old Russian or Moroccan interiors, complex ornaments can be used, but in modern style this is unlikely to be appropriate.

3. Decorative panels

The decorative panel market has a wide variety of materials. For example, products made of natural veneer look good, they can be used to decorate the entire ceiling or used to decorate some areas.

An interesting technique is the transition of panels from wall to ceiling.

You can also use plastic, polyurethane or gypsum products, or even metal mesh panels. The latter are very suitable for interior decoration in an industrial style. However, for their fastening, it is required to provide a crate.

2. Stucco

Another way to decorate the ceiling is to use stucco and moldings. In order not to overload the space, it is important to consider the height of the ceiling. For example, bulky cornices and rosettes are best left for tall rooms.

It may seem that such a decor is suitable only for classic interiors, but given the demand for eclectic design, it will fit into almost any stylistic direction, even a loft.

1. Colored ceiling

You can accentuate the ceiling with the help of color. An unusual color scheme will make the interior brighter and more interesting. You can use pastel shades or opt for more saturated colors. And by painting the ceiling and walls in the same color, you can achieve an unusual visual effect - the border between the planes will be erased, and the room will look more spacious.

A bold welcome - black ceiling. However, it is better to use it locally, for example, only in the hallway or hallway. It will give the effect of unlimited depth, it will be almost impossible to see where the surface ends.
