There are as many ceiling design options as there are configurations. The ceiling in the bedroom can be both simple and complex, and it depends not so much on the design as on the structure of the building in which the room is located.

Agree, it is much easier to create an interesting vaulted ceiling in a private house than, for example, in a typical city apartment..

How can a person who is uninitiated in the intricacies of interior design make the right choice? Yes, so that the result creates a pleasant impression, because the bedroom is the place where we meet a new day.

In our article we will tell you how to design simple and complex bedroom ceilings, two-level ceilings and how to choose materials for their design.

How to decorate simple ceilings

Tinting

This way of decorating the ceiling is carried out by painting the surface in the desired shade. And, depending on the characteristics of the room: dark or light, small or large, low or high, choose light, dark, bright or dull colors.

Often, the desired tone is emphasized by gluing a strip of baguette or molding along the upper edge of the walls of the room..

To paint the ceiling, use water-based paint with the addition of the desired shade.

In addition, you can use a stretch ceiling of the required color, thanks to which visible flaws and irregularities are easily masked

Visual effect

As in the first case, the design principle is to highlight the area with color, but taking into account the size of the bedroom.

If the ceiling height allows, or you want to visually emphasize its depth, and possibly visually «lower»,- extend the color of the ceiling, going beyond its borders along the top of the walls, retreating 20-30 cm.

The beauty of the tree

One of the most interesting and popular ways to design a ceiling is wood sheathing or imitation. It seems that this option is just created for bedroom decoration..

Natural wood is best suited, treated against pests, opened with stain, and then oil or wax. But a more affordable option could be a laminated board with the effect «under the tree».

Overhead paintings

The modern design of the bedrooms is replete with novelties in various forms. As for the ceilings, they are covered with painted subjects, sometimes using LED lamps. This is how decorative effects of the starry sky, rainbow overflows and other things are created..

Painting imitation is good for bedrooms with low ceilings, giving the impression of a wide headroom. Instead of expensive painting, you can use more democratic stretch ceilings with a pattern previously applied in the printing house.

How to decorate a complex ceiling

Stucco

At first glance, decoration with stucco figures and ornaments may seem to you the lot of the last century. But such a technique in houses with high ceilings, in the presence of the appropriate Baroque, Rococo or Art Nouveau style, will serve as a sign of high taste and will remain relevant for more than a decade..

Materials in the manufacture of stucco molding are used traditionally of natural origin: gypsum, marble chips. More affordable are lightweight and thin embossed foam plates (suspended structures).

Beams and floors

There are times when a too high ceiling design causes a lot of trouble, or the bedroom is in an attic room. There is a need for a complex ceiling design. Wooden beams and floors can help with this..

In the design of such complex ceilings, wood is used, and sometimes a metal frame, covering the surface of the ceiling with a geometric pattern.

Sail ceiling

This type of ceiling is rarely found in the architecture of houses, since its design implies very accurate calculations and has concave, upwardly extending lines. Still, the sail ceiling is of great interest to experts. You can often see him in churches, monasteries and cathedrals.

Sail – a rather ambiguous type of overlap. You can decorate such a ceiling with the help of graceful patterns using polystyrene, wood or plaster moldings.

How to decorate a two-level ceiling in a bedroom

The purpose of multi-level ceilings can be not only to create an unusual design, but also to hide defects in the base coating. During repairs, dismantling worn-out floors, you can find surprises in the form of old beams. Or it is necessary to hide electrical wiring, pipes for heating and water supply. A multi-level ceiling design will be a great way to hide technological elements..

A two- or three-level ceiling can also be used in the case when it is necessary visually «to lift» the height of the room. This is due to the color saturation levels. Let’s say the one below is darker, and the upper one is much lighter, which gives the impression of a higher ceiling

The effect of a floating, airy ceiling can be obtained by simply attaching a diode lamp between the first and second levels..

The variety of modern materials is so wide that it allows you to create fantastic shapes and effects over your head. Whatever the style of your bedroom, a multi-level ceiling can radically change the image or emphasize its features..

Flow shapes can be bizarre, and range from wavy, geometric and fantastic, with one, two, three drops, relative to the baseline. Both simple cornice systems and complex abstract images are possible..

Multilevel ceilings became available and gained their popularity after the appearance of drywall and stretch elastic materials on the construction market. Due to their flexibility, they have no limitations in the implementation of rather intricate plots..

An example of interesting shelf lighting is the use of LED lamps under the top glossy tier. In the lower level in the headboard area there are installed spots – flat small lamps.

The design of the high ceiling of the bedroom in a classic style can be very interesting. Applying a pseudo-level in the form of a wide cornice, you can visually subtract several centimeters of height, and then hang a massive chandelier in the center of the upper level. Moreover, this upper level can be decorated with stucco or moldings.

The creation of multi-level ceilings can significantly diversify and improve the interior of the bedroom, but provided that common sense and a sense of proportion will constantly accompany you in this. We wish you success in improving your home

Good luck!
