Classic style

The concept of "classic style" actually hides several possible solutions stylistic design premises. The thing is that the design in the style of antiquity is significantly different from the style of the 19th century. But in any case, such a room will look elegant and sophisticated.

Drawings on the plasterboard ceiling in this style contain a variety of shapes and colors:

  • antique style characterized by the presence of columns and arches. Therefore, suspended ceilings imitate smooth transitions of the arched type.
  • Baroque and rococo add richness and brightness to the design of the room. It would be appropriate to use complex floral decors, ornaments and gilding.
  • Empire means the use natural stone and wood, and the color scheme is maintained in light pastel colors with the use of gilded and bronze elements.

In this style, plasterboard ceilings, the pictures of which are made in pink, blue and milky white colors, are distinguished by their high cost and sophistication. Therefore, the classic style is preferable for rooms with large windows and high ceilings. This allows you to make the room more spacious. If you want to decorate a small room in this style, then you need to stop at one corner element decor. The drawing is applied on white background, decorating it with silver or gold trim.

High-tech style is characterized by ledges and corners, illuminated by bright light or simply painted in unusual color. Plasterboard suspended ceiling designs are usually made with fluorescent paints that begin to shimmer at nightfall.

Romanticism

Ceiling decoration in this style is distinguished by its lightness. It is suitable for almost any room. smooth curves and pastel shades can transform even a small room, visually giving it space and filling it with comfort.

And due to the fact that plasterboard ceilings pictures are taken in light colors, it is possible to visually expand the available space of the room.

Conclusion

Two-level and multi-level ceilings: drywall drawings

To make the ceiling volumetric, techniques with several levels are used, it all depends on the height of the room. Such a pattern on (with the help of simple manipulation), it is possible to transform the geometric shape of any room beyond recognition, create an interesting pattern, visually change it into better side the grayest room.

How to create a do-it-yourself plasterboard ceiling pattern

It is not so difficult to make an original design drawing on the GLC ceiling as it might seem at first glance. decorative elements are part of the overall suspension system.
Elements of drywall drawings are attached with screws to the main frame. Consider the nuances of the procedure in more detail.


The first stage is the most difficult, as it consists in mounting a frame made of metal profiles (see). At the first stage, marking is done on the ceiling plane and checking the levels.

You will need instructions for installing a ceiling profile for drywall.
There are two main types of profile that are most often used in practice:

  • One type of profile is used for GLK ceilings with overlapping sheets on a metal profile.
  • The second type is used for imposing partitions, partitions and walls.

As for the first method, you will need some skill and at least a video instruction, especially when creating rounded shapes.

Attention! It should be remembered that the installation of the GLK on a plane is carried out in a checkerboard pattern.

Stages of installation of a two-level ceiling

Consider a figured ceiling made of plasterboard construction of 2 levels using the living room as an example, at least 260 cm high. The second level will be installed on the finished first level.
Let's start with the markup.
So:

  • The supporting ceiling base is cleared of all unnecessary items, including lighting, only one indicator light remains. Carefully check the corners if there are roundings in places ceiling plinth You also need to get rid of them.
    The higher the first level, the better.
  • Further, from the lowest point of the main ceiling, an indent is made, approximately 25 mm, and a mark is placed in the corner on the wall. If the ceiling is below 260 cm, then shorten the first mark a little, given that there will be another level.
  • Now you can mark the base ceiling. GKL is attached to profiles that come with a step of 50 cm.
    Having decided on the direction of installation of drywall, the walls are marked in the same direction.
  • Then, using a level, transfer the mark to the remaining corners of the walls and a line of the plane is beaten off with a masking cord, on which the first level of the ceiling will be.
  • Between the marks, with the help of a paint cord, lines are beaten off on the base ceiling, along which the sides of the drywall sheets will be placed. On this markup of the first level came to an end.

Installation of the frame of the first level

A UD profile is mounted along the line on the wall, which was previously beaten off with a molar cord. Pay attention that the lower part of the profile coincides with the line.
Directly through the profile using electric drill holes are made for dowels with a step of 40-50 cm. After the installation of the profiles around the perimeter, the installation of U-shaped suspensions for the CD profile is done.

Suspensions are attached at a distance of 50-60 cm. The CD profile is cut to the desired length and inserted into the UD under the hangers and screwed with small self-tapping screws. The protruding ears from the suspensions must be bent to the sides, the UD and CD profiles are attached to each other at the junction points.

Tip: In order to make the installation of suspensions, it is best to use screws with a diameter of 5 mm and dowels of 6 mm.

In parallel, wiring is done electrical cables and packed in the corrugation of the cable channel.

We mount drywall of the first level


You will need self-tapping screws for metal, 25 mm long, with the calculation of 60 screws per sheet of plasterboard. In order for the self-tapping screw not to make a breakthrough on the sheet, it is recommended to use a ratchet or a nozzle with a lampshade, which limits the screwing depth of the self-tapping screw.
The GLK sheet is superimposed in such a way that the edge overlaps only half of the CD profile, and the second half will be covered by the next sheet.

Tip: During all the work, do not forget about the installation of fixtures and their correct placement.

Second floor level

Before proceeding to installation work, you need to make a second-level sketch drawing. A UW profile or UD is screwed to this template.
The choice of profile depends on the required depth of the second level.
So:

  • The profile is screwed with the side wall to the ceiling, with the groove inside. Places where it is necessary to bend the profile should be made with small cuts, in increments of 5 cm, then you can easily give a curved shape.
  • According to the level, the UD profile is screwed to the wall and the CD profile is inserted. Then everything is sheathed with plasterboard sheets and the surface is ready for puttying.

During installation vertical stripe to the level with the figures, it must be carefully bent. If the bend is too steep, so that the drywall does not burst, you will need to cut the paper transverse steps every 5 cm from the convex side.
If the height of the walls allows, then you can use more complex figures and more levels, but then the price of the work will be much higher.

Harmony in the details of interior design has a very great importance. Therefore, starting repair work, it is advisable to think over the concept of interior design in advance in great detail. Original plasterboard ceilings can become main detail in the design of the room, or they can simply harmoniously complement another central element interior.

Depending on the style and tones in which it is planned to create an interior, the shape, color scheme and pattern of the suspended ceiling structure will depend.

There are a lot of options for decorating plasterboard ceilings, but let's focus on the main stylistic decisions in decorating suspended ceilings. Drawings from plasterboard on the ceiling are first applied to paper, and only then, according to the patterns made from them, details are cut out false ceiling and the supporting frame is constructed.

Basic rules and techniques of interior design


There are some basic principles and techniques in interior decor that must be followed.

  • In rooms of small height, you should not pile up a two- or three-level false ceiling structure, it is better to do it.
    Drawings on the plasterboard ceiling, running from the wall to the center in the form of an lancet dome, can make the room look much higher.

Important! Making a ceiling in a round dome shape in small and low rooms is not desirable. Since such decor will visually reduce the height of the ceiling even more, expanding the walls.

  • The color solution in rooms facing south and west should be warm, in pastel, soft colors. In rooms facing south and east, the colors of the cold spectrum look harmonious.
  • A pattern on a drywall ceiling can divide a room into functional areas. For example, a recreation area can be designed in the form of flower petals.
    BUT work zone- strict lines suspended structure with functional comfortable lighting.


  • With the help of suspended ceilings, you can change the unaesthetic geometry of the room.
  • Suspended ceilings in three levels, made in the form of a staircase, will make a wide room narrower and longer, creating the effect of removing the opposite wall of the room from the viewer.
  • A narrow strip of ornament on the ceiling along the length of the room and a wide one on the ends, located along the perimeter of a narrow and long room, will make it wider.
  • Smooth lines hide the rigidity of the perception of a room with niches and large quantity corners.

It is also important that the plasterboard ceiling pattern complements the overall interior design concept of the room.

Styles in interior design and the choice of suspended ceiling structures
