White matte stretch ceilings: features of choice
A matte white stretch ceiling is a traditional addition to any interior. It is the light color of the ceiling that is considered the most common, despite the abundance of alternative options.
Peculiarities
Most people call white a universal color. It not only matches all colors from both cold and warm palettes, but is also suitable for decorating any room. Light ceilings look good in living rooms, in the kitchen, and in the bathroom.
Traditionally, this achromatic color is associated with purity. In addition, it helps to make the room visually spacious. The light ceiling lifts the walls and makes even a small room taller. In the bedroom, white ceilings are good because they help to tune in to a peaceful mood.
In such a room, it is easier to fall asleep and have good dreams.
As for the advantages of stretch ceilings, the main one is high quality. They are made on the basis of high quality polyester or PVC. That is why the surface of the ceilings is resistant to moisture. Over time, the surface of such a ceiling does not fade, does not deteriorate and does not become covered with a layer of mold.
Stretch ceilings are also able to resist mechanical damage. They do not scratch or tear, despite their apparent fragility. This is very beneficial because you can mount the ceiling once and be sure that it will serve you for several years.
The lightweight plastic surface does not require particularly difficult maintenance. It is enough to periodically wipe it with a dry cloth, remove the accumulated layer of dust and a couple of times a season to walk on a smooth surface with a damp cloth.
A color scheme
As already mentioned, one of the main advantages of white is its versatility. It goes well with both dark and light colors. And each shade is able to sparkle with new colors, being in tandem with white.
Monochrome option
If you use a matte white stretch ceiling in a room with dark walls, then the room will no longer seem so gloomy. This applies to tones such as emerald, burgundy, brown, marsala, and so on.
Pastel colors against a white background become even more delicate. Therefore, the combination of white with tones such as pink, lavender or blue is suitable for young ladies' bedrooms, children's rooms, etc.
The room, almost completely decorated in white, also looks interesting. This move is used in minimalist rooms, for example.
Bicolor
Very often ceilings are made in two colors. For this, the PVC base itself and the connecting profile are used. They are often made multi-colored, sometimes even contrasting. It looks stylish and expressive.
Often, two-tone ceilings are made in black and white. No matter how much time has passed, such a traditional combination remains popular and in demand. This ceiling color is perfect for kitchens or bathrooms, and for modern studio apartments.
By the way, it is worth noting that this stylistic move is good for small rooms. The fact is that such a contrasting combination of shades makes it possible to visually enlarge the space. It is best to combine the large base of a light stretch ceiling with a neat black frame. If we do the opposite, then the effect will turn out to be the opposite - the dark base will "eat up" the space and the room will seem smaller and lower.
Creative ideas
In addition to plain ceilings and two-tone options, there are others. A white ceiling is a great base on which to create anything.
Patterned surface
The patterned ceiling is a stylish and original solution. This move is suitable for decorating bedrooms, living rooms or hallways. It is worth noting that the patterns can be not only painted on the PVC surface, but also three-dimensional. Such a move looks no worse than expensive stucco molding, but it costs several times cheaper.
Using various abstract patterns, you can create whole paintings. You can either fill all the free space with bright prints, or decorate individual parts of the room with them. For example, arrange decorative patterns in the corners or around the chandelier.
Photo printing
A more original option is a ceiling decorated with photo printing. This design makes the room more "lively". For example, you can decorate a room with a space print or cloud ceiling to make it look like a real night or day sky.
But you can also choose something else. For example, decorate the ceiling with real photographs, images of flowers, and so on. Nothing limits your imagination here, and you can make your room unique, unlike anything else.
Where to use?
White ceilings with a matte finish can be used in different styles and in different rooms. As for the style, it is impossible to imagine a room in the classic modernist direction without a neat white ceiling. Also, light ceilings are a necessary detail of the Scandinavian style or of such a direction as minimalism.
White color makes the room visually spacious and taller. The minimum amount of things helps to achieve the same effect.
Separately, it is worth talking about different rooms. In each room, the white color of the ceiling fulfills its task and looks special.
Children
Very often, children's rooms are decorated in a traditional style. A part of this interior is a stretch white ceiling with a matte surface. For a children's room, it is better to choose not a monochromatic surface, but decorated with interesting patterns or pictures.
A white background makes the room visually brighter. Due to this, the child's fear of darkness disappears, because even after the lights in the room have been turned off, it does not plunge into complete darkness.
Hallway
Very often in modern apartments and houses, the entrance hall is a room without windows. That is why the light ceiling is beneficial here. It will make the room much brighter. To enhance this effect, you need to decorate the frame with small lamps around the entire perimeter. Spot bulbs look nice and give a nice cool light.
Kitchen
Often, light ceilings are used in the kitchen. Almost every housewife dreams of a spacious kitchen with high ceilings. If you do not have enough space in the selected room, then it can be visually enlarged using light stretch ceilings with thoughtful illumination.
Many people refuse a stretch ceiling in the kitchen, considering that a fungus may form under the PVC layer. It is believed that mold will certainly appear, if not due to high humidity, then at least due to sudden changes in temperature. To prevent this from happening, it is enough just to regularly ventilate the room. Ventilation holes are also made on the ceiling itself, which prevent moisture from accumulating under the PVC layer.
In the kitchen, you can use both plain light ceilings and two-tone ones, complemented by brown or black accents. If you want to add bright colors to your life, you can safely do it. They won't ruin your kitchen in the least, especially since a white background will muffle bright colors.
Living room
It is customary to allocate the largest room in the apartment for the living room, because not one person, but the whole family spends their free time here.In order to make more even a very tiny room, it is worth using the same white stretch ceiling.
Both plain surfaces and decorated with patterns look interesting. Against such a light background, a large chandelier, decorated, for example, with crystal inserts or metal decorative details, looks luxurious. To decorate a plain light ceiling, you can use both vintage and modern chandeliers - the choice of a lamp depends on the style in which the room is decorated.
Matte white surfaces are a truly versatile option that has been tested by generations of designers. They are suitable for both connoisseurs of the classics and lovers of novelty, because if desired, a monochromatic surface can be decorated with patterns or even full-fledged drawings, paintings and photographs.
