White stretch ceilings: types and design ideas in the interior

White stretch ceiling is a classic design of many rooms. He is accustomed to the universality of color and is considered a classic way to create the right atmosphere, as he is able to support any designer's idea without interrupting its tone and mood. It is important to understand the varieties of this design, taking into account the stylish design ideas.

The white stretch ceiling is associated with freshness, cleanliness and spaciousness. He is able to visually increase the height and width of the walls. The color is considered neutral, the impression depends on the contrast that complements it. And for a comfortable relationship it is necessary that the color was the dominant design of the room. It is appropriate in rooms with windows facing north and rooms with small window openings, creating a visual effect of adding air and natural light.

A distinctive feature of the color is the need to bring warm colors of the color palette to the atmosphere, otherwise the white ceiling can make the space dull. Such a coating can not be considered suitable for each style decision, as some interior design compositions are quite demanding on the presence of the pattern, texture and additional decoration of the ceiling surface.

More appropriately, it looks in styles that abound in small detailsas well as modern interiors, which are extremely important to demonstrate the capabilities of technology. Especially this contributes to the texture of the material.

Existing types of stretch ceilings can be divided into two categories:

• film;

• textile.

The first group includes PVC film coatings, the second are textile panels. The quality characteristics of the two variations are different. They differ in the width of the cloth that determines the presence or absence of seams. In each case, the length of the canvas can be any, but for spacious rooms with a monolithic decoration of the ceiling zone, it is preferable to choose varieties without a seam.

Film coatings often have a width of about 3.5 m, which is convenient for the construction of small spaces. However, if you wish, you can find a canvas with a larger width, if you want to decorate the ceiling with a film.

White stretch ceiling - a design of two types: depending on the type of the base and the material of the ceiling, it is fixed directly to the ceiling or fixed by means of a frame. In this case, in the first case, it is necessary to level the base, and in the second, it is not necessary to mask irregularities: the canvas is tensioned several centimeters below the base.

Noteworthy is the texture of these coatings. Depending on the type of material, it can be glossy, matte and satin.

Glossy texture is characterized by the ability to visually enlarge the space. However, it is characterized by a mirror effect, which is not liked by everyone and is particularly inappropriate if there is a small pattern on a white background. So the image loses expressiveness. However, the gloss looks appropriate in the minimalist directions of design.

Matte texture is pleasant in appearance and looks softer.This type of surface does not disturb the harmony of the interior, even if there is a pattern on its surface. In this case, the image looks impressive.

Looks more interesting in the interior design satin texture. It is characterized by the presence of a silk sheen. At the same time, the panel compares all elements of the interior with itself, forcing them to conform to the desired status. This is the most expensive type of stretch ceiling: a ceiling with sparkles creates a special atmosphere in the room. Low cost is the coating of the film.

The white stretch ceiling has many advantages:

• It looks beautiful and softens any interior composition of the room, even if the base of the surface is two-level or multi-level.

• Due to the white covering, the stretch ceiling can decorate any room of the dwelling: it is appropriate in the hall, corridor, bedroom, nursery, study, home library, hallway and even bathroom.

• Such a design can be located across the entire area of ​​the ceiling zone or be a partial focus of it, zoning the space into separate functional areas.

• This system is easy to install, so for the installation does not necessarily involve a specialist, it is possible to save the budget.

• The material used in production is resistant to deformation: such a coating will not crack and will not shrink if it gets wet.

• This design is durable: a white stretch ceiling with proper installation and proper maintenance will last without the need for adjustment for a long time (about 10 years or more).

• The price of such a product is usually small. If the surface has a finish in the form of a simple pattern, the material will cost more.

With positive characteristics, the white color of the surface of the tension fabric is the cause of the following disadvantages:

• Regardless of the type of texture, this ceiling covering is quite brandy: even the slightest stains and dust are visible on it.
• Such a coating is more demanding to care: it is necessary to wipe it especially carefully, excluding treatment with insufficiently clean water (all divorces will be noticeable).
• Despite resistance to sunlight and moisture, over time, the former appeal and purity of color will be lost.Especially contribute to this detergent.
• The repair of such a coating is problematic: the cuts cannot be masked; if water leaks from the apartment, rust will remain on top of the surface, which will require replacement of the coating.

A simple design in the form of a single-level construction looks simple, even if the center of the ceiling is decorated with a beautiful lamp. Today, the design of the ceiling is of particular importance, so any change in stereotypes is welcome given the height of the walls and the footage of the ceiling zone. That the design of the room was fresh and interesting, it is possible to decorate the central lamp with a design in the form of a wide ring.

If the room in the room is not so much, but the ceiling is high, you can make a shaped edge around the perimeter, making the central part of the top level and decorating it with small lamps. By the light of the lamps, the coating will look especially expressive. In the afternoon, the main focus will be on the figure edge.

The white stretch ceiling can be special, if you consider its design in advance when performing a design interior project. A classic monochromatic coating may look different and even have a special refinement, if you add a design, for example, a built-in backlight.

Regardless of the texture of the material, whether it is gloss, satin or a matte structure, the LED spotlights and ribbon plan, as well as their combination, are appropriate in the design. You can make a small tensioning structure in the center of the room, framing it with a box with built-in dot diodes, decorated in a metal case.

The use of color illumination will allow you to change the tone of the tension cover in the evening. Moreover, if you mount an RGB ribbon around the perimeter of the canvas, you can change the color of shades every day by choosing the one that corresponds to the mood at the moment. If the canvas is a partial finish, located around the perimeter of the room, one of the levels of construction or has a curly line, it is preferable to think about the emphasis of these design features. Otherwise, the white color on a light background will lose expressiveness.

Installation of a flexible LED tape in the form of a certain pattern (for example, under a zipper or lace curls) will be an original and non-standard solution.

To stretch the ceiling appropriately looked in the interior of the room, it is worth to note a few nuances:

• Do not overload the glossy surface with a pattern, this design should be simple and even strict.
• For high-tech, minimalism and modern, choose a glossy type of material.
• For the classic direction, order a matte textured ceiling with a simple pattern for stucco molding.
• Do not combine this color with black contrast: even a small amount of black paint will deprive such a coating of lightness and airiness.

• This color is perfectly combined with different lamps, but does not accept the mixing of chandeliers and lights of different design.
• It is better to use such a coating without a pattern in an apartment; it is impractical for a private house, especially during the heating season.
• Carrying out the design of the room in the style of vintage, Provence, pick up the satin material of the cloth.
• Do not follow the design with the transition to the wall: white walls are soiled, while visually a section of white color will separate the walls with the same lining.
