In this article, we will consider the relevance of stretch ceilings in bedroom interior design, their features and ways to achieve maximum harmony.

Stretch ceilings, regardless of the type of construction, are a panel attached to the ceiling on the frame by means of special fasteners. The fixation of the web is quite rigid and uniform, which ensures the evenness and smoothness of the material, as well as the absence of folds. These ceilings look stylish, they are aesthetically attractive and modern. In addition to their pleasant appearance, they have a lot of advantages that make them in demand in the field of decorating the bedroom.

Let's consider their features through advantages.

• The material used to decorate the ceiling is not resistant to deformation and temperature drops. Regardless of its composition, it does not crack, does not shrink over time.
• Due to special impregnations, the panel is not subject to combustion, it excludes the formation of condensation. Therefore, such material can decorate bedrooms in houses with high humidity.

• Due to the moisture resistance, the tension structure will not allow water to seep out if suddenly the neighbors have a leak.
• Stretch structures are perfectly combined with drywall, which allows you to fulfill any design idea in any interior style.
• These ceilings are harmless to the health of households. During operation, the material does not emit harmful toxins into the air.
• They are easy to install, which does not require preliminary preparation of the base and its leveling. Installation is carried out no more than a day in advance.
• These designs are reliable. They are firmly attached to the ceiling, which eliminates sagging and falling of the canvas.

• Tension systems allow you to independently choose the height of the ceiling, which is convenient if you need to align the height difference between different walls.
• These products are distinguished by an unlimited choice of shades and the possibility of applying photo printing, due to which a special atmosphere can be added to the design of the bedroom.

On the market in the field of construction and furnishing, stretch ceilings are presented in a wide range with an individual approach to each client.

However, in addition to the main advantages, stretch ceilings have several disadvantages.

• Regardless of the materials of the frame and panel, these structures steal centimeters of usable area. In spacious bedrooms, this is not scary, but if the design is performed in a small room, the visual effect of reducing the space is possible.
• Some material categories do not provide for a large width, which leads to the use of suture technology, which is noticeable on some types of coatings.

• With a significant leak, usually of rusty water, sometimes it is necessary to change the panel.
• Regardless of the strength, the material of the stretch ceiling is not designed for significant mechanical damage and punctures. If this happens, it cannot be corrected, you will have to dismantle the coating.
• One of the disadvantages is the high cost of photo printing on canvases of the highest category. Often it is she who is more expensive than all the components and the call of the master.

Today, the stretch ceiling for the bedroom is represented by several types of material. They can be conditionally divided into 2 types: film and textile. The difference between the second products is frost resistance, due to which they can be installed in bedrooms in an unheated dacha. Both designs are good for decorating an attic bedroom, regardless of the complexity of the roof slopes, which in this case is the ceiling and walls. Here the technologists are performed at an angle.

PVC film can have a glossy and matte texture. Each type of coating has its own nuances of perception and finds its admirers. For example, the advantage of a glossy stretch ceiling is the ability to visually increase the bedroom space. However, the mirror effect that such a coating has creates emotional tension, which automatically excludes the possibility of relaxation in the bedroom.

In addition, the mirror effect doubles the number of furnishings, reflecting them through texture, which is especially noticeable if a dark color is chosen as the basis for the design. Due to this, the bedroom can seem cluttered, which deprives it of coziness and comfortable perception. Another nuance is the reflection of glare from the backlight, which also has to be played up in addition to the design of other materials. The visibility of stains after cleaning complements the list of shortcomings.

The matte film is unique due to its rough texture. Unlike its glossy counterpart, this material brings light into the space without creating psychological complexity. It seems softer, more comfortable, and richer in textile varieties. If a given canvas is decorated with a pattern, all its contours are visible, while the material does not compete with the print, which allows you to achieve harmony when drawing up a stretch ceiling design.

Textile varieties are distinguished by a matte surface. An expensive material is a satin finish. It has a characteristic silky sheen, due to which the material compares any piece of furniture with itself, forcing it to correspond to the desired status. Due to the textile base, such a material is more difficult to clean: it cannot be wiped off with a damp cloth or semi-dry sponge, but the dust can be removed with a regular vacuum cleaner.

By the complexity of the design, the stretch ceiling in the bedroom can be:

• single-level;
• two-level;
• three-level (multi-level).

The single-level version is applicable mainly in apartments with a ceiling of a usual height (2.5-2.7 m). These designs are appropriate in small bedrooms (about 12-18 sq. M.) City apartments and small private houses or summer cottages. Single-level structures are lightweight, in most cases they are distinguished by the presence of a molding or a ceiling plinth around the perimeter of the bedroom ceiling.

Two-level and multi-level tension structures are applicable in spacious rooms with high ceilings. These options look especially interesting if these bedrooms have bay windows with a separate ceiling (for example, in the form of a dome). This gives a lot of design possibilities, allowing, due to the tension structure and, say, drywall, to turn the complexity of the ceiling area into a dignity of the ceiling.Due to the flexibility of the gypsum board, stretch ceilings can have figured and even ornate design of different levels. Such techniques will make any bedroom of an apartment special, bringing notes of luxury and subtle taste into it.

The design of the stretch ceiling in the bedroom is subject to a host of factors, including the color effect on a person. Due to the creation of a relaxing atmosphere in the bedroom, it is customary to use gentle and light shades of the color palette. Regardless of the idea chosen, they try to include white color in the design, which visually makes the ceiling higher, while adding a sense of light and lightness to the bedroom. If the design envisions a different color, white is a softening contrast.

There are several design solutions by means of which the stretch ceiling in the bedroom is decorated today.

These include:

• reception of a contrast of two shades;
• the transition of the cloth to the wall at the head;

• tension insert over the bed area;
• use of a picture;

• activation of central and auxiliary lighting;
• composite picture reception with built-in illumination.

The most successful solutions to the theme of the drawings are relaxing images of the starry sky, cosmic motives of constellations and nebulae. Children's sleeping space can be distinguished by a cheerful approach to design. The best shades for stretch ceilings in the bedroom are white, beige, cream, milky, ivory, pale pink, lilac, peach. Warm colors are a priority. Black is difficult for the bedroom: it creates a depressing atmosphere, even when used in two-tone compositions with white or beige, steel or another shade of the color palette.

Ceiling decoration depends on the style. For example, for the classical directions, which include classics, neoclassicism, classicism, decoration in the form of elements imitating plaster molding is characteristic. In this case, the forms of structures should be simple and subject to strict symmetry. It can be simple and complex geometric shapes, canvases decorated with gold.

If the ideas are more creative, this is reflected in the color of the material or drawing. For example, for some ethnic designs, it is important to show characteristic patterns or ornaments that can be done with dark colors on a light background. Or it can be bold color contrasts, as well as partial inserts against a drywall background with the addition of false beams or simulated pipes for a communication system.

Stretch ceiling lighting in the bedroom is worthy of a separate topic. It is due to him that you can make any design special, even the most laconic one-level without a picture. Today, the popular lighting for tension structures is the LED type of bulbs.

The lamps themselves can be varied, but the most popular are:

• flat panels;
• point (spotlights);
• spots (lamps with tilt angle adjustment);
• flexible tape with one or two rows of diodes of different density.

In addition, a chandelier of an original shape is often the accent of a ceiling with a stretch canvas. Unlike classical counterparts with crystal and shades, the modern approach involves decorating the ceiling with a light central lamp. This chandelier is as airy as possible, it has a lot of tiny shades and lacks a sense of massiveness. This decor shines brightly, the bulbs themselves are harmless and stand out noticeably against the background of all known analogues, for which they are in demand among buyers.

The samples used are nothing more than modern light sources, characterized by minimal energy consumption and fitting into any stretch ceiling design intended for the bedroom. At the smallest size, they shine especially brightly.In addition, they can have a wide range of color shades and, which is especially important for adolescents and the younger generation, the RGB system, which allows you to change the color shade of the light flux when connected to a smartphone through a special program. Since these lamps differ in directional light and cannot illuminate all corners of the bedroom, their arrangement is a ruler or curly line with devices at the same distance from each other.

The ideal type of stretch ceiling lighting for a bedroom is a flexible tape. It is able to repeat any bend of the box, fits perfectly between the plinth and the ceiling, and can be built-in. In addition to it, the original solution is the use of fiber-optic threads. This type of illumination is used in conjunction with spotlights and tape to create a realistic starry sky with the effect of twinkling stars.

Doubting which material to give preference to, you can listen to the opinion of stylists. This will allow you to better represent the visual effect and correlate practicality with aesthetic perception.

To equip the ceiling of a small bedroom, choose a glossy white material with a soft texture. So you can visually enlarge the space of the room.

If you need to choose between a pattern and a texture, give preference to the type of surface: the pattern obliges you to a certain atmosphere, while any furniture can be matched to the shade.

Don't be afraid to experiment: glossy and matte panels are perfectly combined with each other. However, in order for them to be more expressive, one of them must dominate. In this case, there should not be a lot of gloss.

Do not overload the ceiling decoration with an abundance of contrasts and dark tones: this creates a feeling of heaviness, visually squeezes the walls. Do not try to combine aggressive and depressive tones in the bedroom: they will develop a depressive state on a physical level.

If the room is located on the south side, it is allowed to use a cool shade (for example, a small amount of blue), this will visually bring freshness to the space. Do not hang massive chandeliers on a tensioned structure with a pattern: it looks ugly, the print implies an addition in the form of flat panels or built-in spotlights.

To avoid boring design, combine a stretch canvas with plasterboard structures. The relief will create a sense of the versatility of the ceiling. If it is necessary to arrange a lot of pieces of furniture and accessories in the bedroom, it is better to decorate the surface of the structure with a matte or satin canvas without a pattern. If color is a must, allow yourself a warm, light background and nothing more.

To understand how best to complete the design, refer to examples of author's work, evaluate the influence of color: this will help you understand what exactly is right for your bedroom. Take note: the texture with a pearlescent sheen is interesting, or the matte material looks more expensive than gloss. However, if the interior design is sustained in modern directions (modern, hi-tech, brutalism), you need gloss.

Having chosen a tension structure for finishing the bedroom ceiling, it is worth considering its combination with a specific design style. Otherwise, the ceiling will look detached.

Arm yourself with a few tips:

• In choosing the color of the panel, do not adapt to the background of the walls: the structure is more durable, it should not depend on the change of wallpaper or decorative plaster.
• Do not repeat the shade of the flooring in the color of the ceiling: this can visually flatten the bedroom.
• If you are targeting a certain accessory (for example, the shade of an expensive vase, the pattern of a significant painting), do not match it identically: a slight discrepancy in a related tone looks multifaceted.

• If the furniture in the bedroom is made in light colors, you can take them as a basis by adding a similar shade as a contrast to the white background of the stretch fabric.
• To make the ceiling decoration harmonious, follow the similarity of the decor of the lighting devices. If the ribbon can be hidden, spotlights and center accent should be combined into a single ensemble.

• Do not use light sources with a heavy yellow or too blue tint for illumination: with a constant glow, they harm the eyes, put pressure on the psyche and provoke a depressive state.
• For a teenager's bedroom, try to use matte materials. If you think they are not original enough, order a simple photo print. Avoid large colors and patterns.
