Kinds

The plasterboard ceiling can be made in two variations: single-level or multi-level. Each of these species is distinguished by its uniqueness and attractiveness.

A single-level plasterboard ceiling is suitable for a small children's room. It will hide all the flaws, and you will get a flat surface that can be beautifully decorated.

Multilevel ceiling is able to transform a child's room beyond recognition... Using imagination, parents can independently or together with the baby perform simple work on decorating it. This can be decorating various figures from drywall or modeling your own fairy-tale characters, which can later be used as a decoration for the ceiling surface.

Fastening of multi-level ceilings is due to a metal frame, consisting of a profile.

The visual division of the ceiling into color zones contributes to the organization of the child as a person, since each color effect carries a psychological load on the child's subconscious... Therefore, experts recommend using this opportunity, since this not only has a beneficial effect on the child, but also creates the best atmosphere in the room, and it all looks much more interesting from the outside than a banal monochromatic color.

To make the room look perfect with pastel and delicate tones, you can use soft curves in the ceiling design, which will look very harmonious.

By contacting the designers, you can generate a plasterboard suspended ceiling in such a way that it appears taller than it really is.

A multi-level ceiling is curly. A variety of shapes and designs will embody the most unimaginable design solutions into reality. However, it is quite difficult to do this on your own. Therefore, it is best to entrust the implementation of this idea to professionals.

Color solutions

Experts recommend listening to the following tips regarding the color palette for a drywall ceiling:

For the baby's room, muted shades of pink, blue, yellow or green are usually used;
White color will create an atmosphere of cleanliness and comfort in the room and at the same time will easily fit into any room design;
Light colors of the wallpaper should be in harmony with the color scheme of the ceiling;
A dark background for the ceiling of a child's room is unacceptable, it will create uncomfortable conditions for the development of the child's psyche.

Plasterboard ceiling design

The perimeter of the ceiling is made in the form of a frame. This approach can be implemented even with several levels. Most often, it is on the frames that recessed lamps are placed, and ribbon illumination is placed on the inner edge of the niche. Moreover, it should not be visible.

Zoned ceiling. The presence of such zones will provide a comfortable environment for your child. The advantages of this approach:

An opportunity opens up for the full development of the child according to his needs. Dividing the room into a play area, a sleeping area and a study area will help your child concentrate on a particular activity.
Teaching your child to order. Each item and toy should have its own location.
The design of the room takes on a unique look. In such a room it is interesting to spend time not only for your kids, but also for children who come to visit them.
Each child living in this room gets his own personal space, which he needs to relax, play with the children and do homework.

Ceiling with a diagonal component. The base of such a ceiling should be flat, and the lower levels should only protrude from one side of the room. A line connects two opposite corners diagonally. It can be not only straight, but also zigzag or wavy.

A ceiling made with figures. Any geometric shapes can act as figures: oval, circle, square. More complex decorative elements are also popular.

For example, a blossoming flower or medallion will look very aesthetically pleasing in the center of the room. This decor is ennobled around the edges with various lighting, which children really like. This element is performed by the second or third tier, and sometimes it takes all two.

The ceiling is made in the form of abstraction. The construction of this type of ceiling is characterized by a complex design and unimaginable beauty. The theme of spirals with irregular shapes usually acts as an abstraction. The widespread elements of this ensemble are all kinds of curls, layering of levels.

Using lighting and paint in various shades, you can turn the nursery into a mysterious world of fairy tale and charm.

Soaring ceiling. One of the most spectacular and beautiful types of plasterboard ceilings. By design features, this type of ceiling can be divided into two subtypes: with a pivoting axis and without it.

The first subtype is attached to the concrete base of the base ceiling with fitting sleeves and studs. This design will create the effect of a "floating" ceiling, and at the same time, from time to time you can rotate this hanging shape around its own axis, thereby changing the overall picture of the interior. The finishing touch to this painting is the lighting that will breathe fairy-tale charm into the overall design of the room.

The second subtype is a little easier to do. Along the perimeter of the protruding part of the level, an LED film is mounted in a specially designated niche for this. The diffused light effect will give the impression of a fabulous floating ceiling.

Application of photo wallpaper for spectacular accents

Your little one will definitely like this approach, because the characters of cartoons and fairy tales can liven up in his own room. In addition, the use of photowall-paper visually increases the space.

The most popular is the sticker of photo wallpaper as a panel. Thus, a bright accent is created that attracts the attention of not only the owner of the room, but also any little guest.

But not only colorful heroes are popular. The activity of parents in purchasing photowall-paper of blue sky and space landscapes is noted.

Tips for choosing

For boy

Experts focus on the following recommendations:

When choosing a ceiling pattern, special attention should be paid to the age of the owner of the room. The older the young man, the simpler the ceiling pattern should look. Cars and cartoon characters are most suitable for preschoolers or older children.
The color scheme of the ceiling covering must be coordinated with the child. Better, of course, to use light blue and light green tones. Avoid girly colors.
Do not use bright colors - this can negatively affect the child and upset his psyche.
Every child is different. If a boy likes to have a lot of everything, gets along well with the designer, then a multi-level ceiling with a lot of different decors is suitable for him. Otherwise, you need to stop at a single-level ceiling.

For girl

Everything is much more difficult here than in the version for boys. Let's figure it out.

Girls grow up quickly, and with this their view of the world changes. A change in the interior of the children's room is also inevitable. In this case, psychologists tend to state the following:

The pink color must be changed to calm tones, the drawings must be replaced with ornaments, and the decor must be allowed to be chosen by the young princess.
It is necessary to carefully consider the zoning of the room using the colors of the ceiling surface, since the young princesses are very sensitive to this step;
Recommended colors are pastel. They do not irritate the eyes and do not irritate their brightness. In addition to them, you can use shades of lilac and lilac, which will make the room unusually sweet and cozy;
You can consider a color palette consisting of yellow and green shades. This approach encourages the child to take action, the girl will easily wake up in the morning and quickly calm down after a hard, busy day;
To emphasize special details of the decor, it is permissible to use dark tones: brown, gray, graphite or black.

Versatile options

If both a boy and a girl live in the room, then combining the color palette is the best option. Each child should have their own personal space. Therefore, it is best to choose those shades that are more suitable for your children.

For example, you can think of a combination of colors pink, white. blue and green, blue and orange.
