Two-level stretch ceilings in the interior of the bedroom

Recently, stretch ceilings, which are not only a practical and convenient option, but also a very beautiful way to give an attractive look to any room, are becoming increasingly popular among apartment owners or private houses. It is especially important to have a pleasant, from an aesthetic point of view, ceiling in the bedroom, since it is this part of the room that we see first of all, waking up early in the morning.

Two-level stretch ceilings for the bedroom have become one of the most popular types of design. Consider the types of tensioning systems, their features and advantages, as well as tips on choosing colors, shapes and light sources.

Features and benefits

To begin with, you should decide on the very concept of “stretch ceiling”.This design is a large canvas of PVC film or polyester yarn fabric, which is stretched onto the frame.

Two-level suspended structures have a fairly large number of advantages over other types of ceilings:

First of all, it should be noted that their installation does not require additional preparation of the base surface.
These systems are fireproof, lightweight and very durable, they are completely non-toxic, as they have no odor at all.
From a practical point of view, they are incredibly convenient, since above the construction you can easily hide various wires for chandeliers and lamps, as well as other communications. Thanks to this advantage, it is possible to cover inaccurate ceiling joints.

Tensioning systems are not affected by mold or mildew, they retain water in case of leakage and can recover after complete drying.
With the help of a two-level stretch fabric, you can easily divide the space into several zones. Auxiliary details here will be light sources or LED strip.
Modern manufacturers offer a wide range of colorsand textures, as well as many other ways to decorate the ceiling of the bedroom, so you feel even more comfortable.

However, this type of ceiling has some features that must be considered before choosing them for your home:

For example, two-level tensioning panels have difficulties with installation, as it is very complex.
The design itself, despite its strength, can easily be damaged by a sharp object.
Compared to other options, this one has a high price.
For lighting, you will have to use lamps with low heat dissipation, so as not to damage the surface of the ceiling.

Classification

The two-level tensioning structure can be classified according to several parameters, which we consider below.

By type of surface

There are three types of panels: glossy, matte and satin. Each has its own characteristics, characteristic only for him:

Glossy. This type has another name that also applies to it perfectly - varnish. For the price of these ceilings are the most expensive. The cloth creates a mirror effect in which 90% of the light is reflected, in view of this, designers do not recommend installing chandeliers with a plate-shaped canopy, as it will be reflected by a spot of light resembling a water pool.

The big advantage of the glossy type is that it visually increases the space of the room, thanks to its reflective shiny surface.

This property is especially important for small bedrooms where the owners will be relieved from a kind of pressure. Due to the variety of color palettes, you can create a very original and beautiful design that you will not find anywhere else. One of the most interesting examples of the glossy tensioning structure is the "starry sky", where the ceiling itself is made in blue tones, and the lighting is created using spotlights or an LED strip.

Matte. Unlike the glossy type, matte has no reflective properties. In this case white or gray tones are most often used. Due to the light roughness, this surface creates the impression of a painted ceiling.

Since the surface does not reflect any glare or reflections, you can use any lamp to your taste, and thanks to soft colors, a feeling of warmth and comfort will be created in the bedroom. Another advantage of this type is the affordable price.

Satin. This type of construction for reflective properties is between the two listed above. It combines their advantages and virtually no drawbacks. Satin ceiling looks much more solid and gently reflects the light, leaving no glare on the canvas.

This option has a smooth, silky surface, and perfectly complements the interior of any bedroom. Another advantage of satin in the interior is its full compatibility with both classic design and modern.

With the help of a competent combination of types of the surface of the cloth, you can perfectly divide the bedroom into several zones, and two levels of the ceiling height will help to make the separation visually clearer and more obvious.

By type of material

The material for two-level stretch ceilings for the bedroom can be of two types: fabric and film:

Fabric Such material is considered more durable, as it is made of polyester fabric, which significantly increases its price. To use this type will have to lower the ceiling by 1.5 centimeters. Fabric panels are produced with imitation of various materials, such as satin, suede, velvet, etc.

The fabric is less susceptible to heat from the lamps than the film. It is allowed to paint this design manually, which looks very nice, or you can create an original print that will give your bedroom an exclusive look. But unfortunately, the choice of colors for fabric type stretch ceiling is smaller in comparison with the film, which for some may be a disadvantage.

Foil. This type of ceiling construction is more economical and has a high moisture resistance. There can be any surface here, but the installation process here will be much harder and will take longer. Film canvas underestimates the main ceiling by 4-5 centimeters, depending on the desired location for the wires.

This type has a very wide range of colors, among which any customer will be able to easily find an option to taste. There are canvases that have two or more colors, the so-called variants with soldering.

In the case of a film sheet, a lamp should be chosen with particular care, since its design is subject to damage by pointed objects. Therefore, it is recommended to buy chandeliers without sharp projections.

When choosing this or that type of material, it is necessary to focus on the area of the room being repaired, since the width of the panels is limited, and if the fabrics are 5 meters wide, then the films are only 2 meters. Therefore, if you are a happy owner of a large bedroom, a fabric ceiling is more suitable for you than a film ceiling.

How to choose?

When creating a ceiling design should focus not only on your own taste, but also on some expert advice that will help you make a better and right choice.

Colour

Since the purpose of the bedroom is rest, not a fun pastime, the color scheme of the ceiling should be chosen based on the effect of each palette on the eyes, mood and general condition:

For example, all tones of blue provide calmness, relaxation after a hard day and visual coolness.
Greenish shades help to get rid of tension and relieve fatigue, they are also recommended for people with poor eyesight, as they have a beneficial effect on the eyes.
Yellow color is recommended for "owls", which hardly get up in the morning, it provides vigor and a surge of strength.
You can simply make a white ceiling, but give it originality with the help of interesting lamps and colored lamps.

The peculiarity of the two-level ceiling makes it possible to combine different colors, thereby distinguishing zones. For example, the bedside area can be distinguished by a light blue tint, and everything that surrounds it is already blue. The same actions can be performed with green and mint color, yellow and canary, and so on.

The form

Two-level stretch ceiling allows you to give the room zest and exclusivity, depending on its shape. As a rule, choose a round or wavy ceiling for the bedroom.

It is advisable not to overload and not to weight the tension panel in the bedroom with different elements, as this is still an area for sleeping and relaxing. But to correctly choose the type of lighting, the lamps themselves and interesting lighting is very important.

Sources of light

For multi-level suspended ceilings, the installation of the following types of light sources is recommended:

Small pendant lamps in the form of individual points on the ceiling.
LED tapes.

It is undesirable to install chandeliers with decorative elements, due to which the lamps will be directed upwards, since they can damage the ceiling when heated.If the lamps of the chandelier are directed horizontally or still upwards, the distance from the upper border of the horn or other element to the ceiling is allowed from 11 centimeters, not less.

The number of light bulbs depends on the size of the bedroom and the prevailing color range. The luminaire body should not overheat, especially if it comes into contact with the web. For additional security of the ceiling from heating, it is desirable to use LED or energy-saving light bulbs. The permissible power of the lamps in this case is 35-40 watts.

For hinged type of ceilings, the use of a swivel type of luminaires is recommended, since they have less heating of the body and the canvas around it.

Often, in order to give originality to the ceiling space, additional illumination is set around the perimeter of the canvas, and its color may differ from the ceiling color scheme. To do this, take LED Led tape, which can take any form and be equipped with small spotlights.
