Illuminated stretch ceiling: views (around the perimeter, inside), color, ideas for different types of ceilings

Types of illumination around the perimeter

Illumination around the perimeter of the ceiling structure visually expands the space of the room, and, if necessary, serves for zoning the room. To create a special atmosphere, blue, purple, green and other unusual shades of lighting are used.

Contouring

The system with contour lighting involves mounting the LED strip directly at the edges. This tape does not heat up, thus protecting the ceiling tension material from overheating and deformation.

Soaring ceiling

Lighting with a cornice lamp mount visually increases the height of the room. In addition, the hidden linear illumination creates the illusion that the ceiling does not touch the walls, but "soars" in the air.

Backlight options inside

The backlight from the inside looks spectacular, since soft light emits the entire canvas of the tensile structure. The original kind of such lighting is a design with elements in the form of stripes, curved lines or ornaments.

Through the canvas

The option with backlighting through the canvas looks advantageous - a small room with such backlighting will visually increase, and in a spacious room - due to the soft scattering of light, a cozy atmosphere will be created.

Light lines and stripes

Translucent or translucent elements in the structure of the canvas can become a real art object of the room. They come in the form of parallel, chaotic stripes or with an unusual pattern - lightning.

In the photo in the design of the stretch ceiling, an unusual highlight was used with intersecting translucent stripes.

Lighting sources

There are many lighting options that are used when installing suspended ceilings. Among them are built-in spotlights, diode mini-lamps, spots, chandeliers, as well as illumination along the edges and from the inside. When choosing a lighting system, there is a limitation - the canvas should not overheat during use.

LED strip or LED

LED strip is a narrow and flexible cable with conductors, on which LEDs are installed at regular intervals. They are distributed in such a way that the tape can be cut anywhere, depending on the need.

Spotlights

For tension structures, there are special recessed spotlights. They differ in the way they are fixed and the type of lamp. An energy-saving lamp is the most acceptable. It does not heat up, so it does not deform the canvas.

Duralight

It is a flexible cord made of PVC, with incandescent lamps located at a certain distance from each other. This lighting system is similar to an LED system, but inferior to it in functionality.

LED mini lights

Designers often use diode mini-lights to simulate the stars on the ceiling.This option is perfect for a bedroom or children's room.

Spots

The design of the spots implies their exact direction in a certain direction, like the theater spotlights. This type of lighting provides direction of light to certain interior items, for example, to a beautiful picture.

In the photo, the stretch ceiling is white, which is in harmony with the tone of the walls. The spots are directed to the drawing on the wall - the compositional center of the room.

Backlight colors

Given the area and height of the room, the backlight can be either classic white or yellow or cold blue, or it can be in avant-garde neon or in an extreme red tone.

• RGB (multicolor).It will decorate and turn any room into a luxurious and cozy corner with an incredible heavenly rainbow, smoothly shimmering at the click of a remote control.
• Neon. Or with the effect - ice. This tone is ideal for a living room in a modern style.
• White. The traditional version of the backlight. Ideal for a small room.
• Yellow. Allows you to create a cozy atmosphere in a large space.
• Green. This shade is suitable for additional illumination of the room.
• Purple. In a bedroom with such a shade of lighting there will be a special “unearthly” setting.

Types of ceiling construction

The modern range of ceiling designs is practically unlimited. Design capabilities cover a range from simple and traditional forms to complex multi-level and multi-dimensional tension structures.

Single level

A configuration with a completely flat surface is a single-level ceiling. This traditional option, if desired, can be diversified by choosing not a white, but a colored canvas.

The photo shows a black and white hallway in the style of minimalism with a stretch soaring ceiling.

Two-level

Two-level configuration with backlight Perfect for zoning the space of a room. This option is perfect for tall rooms. The length of the indent at the transition levels will be beneficial to hide the height of the room.

Layered

A multi-level tensile structure allows you to create a unique object in design. To emphasize the complexity of the form, this option often uses contour lighting.

Examples for different types of surfaces

Modern technologies allow you to create modifications of paintings that have different textures. Consider the main types of textures that are used for stretch ceilings with backlight.

Matt

The option with a matte texture practically does not reflect light and perfectly imitates a traditionally painted ceiling. Especially advantageous are spotlights and LED strip.

Glossy

The surface of the glossy stretch ceiling mirrors objects and glares strongly in the light. Thanks to these qualities - this is a spectacular accent in the room.

Satin

The option with a satin texture in appearance combines the characteristics of matte and glossy materials. Satin ceiling slightly reflects the light, so it is suitable for almost any interior.

In the photo there is a living room with a purple satin texture ceiling.

Ideas for various forms

Specialized firms will produce a designer design of a stretch ceiling with illumination of any complexity. At the same time, installation takes a little time, and also does not require additional decoration.

Round

The round shape can be used in both single-level and multi-level structures. In the first case, the circle is soldered with a common canvas. And in the second - a round structure can protrude or be recessed in the main canvas.

Rectangular and square

The traditional and concise version of the stretch ceiling with backlight can be varied in the contrasting tone of the color canvas.

Curly (complex shape)

Sea waves, white fluffy clouds, abstract volumetric shapes and other options - any ceiling configuration suitable to the general style of the interior is available for selection.

Perforated

A perforated stretch ceiling is a canvas with holes of various sizes. Perforation is carried out on special programmed equipment.

With a niche

Most often, the use of niches for the installation of suspended ceilings is justified practically. For example, you need to calculate in advance a place for a cornice niche.

In the photo, the living room is in a minimalist style with a highlighted niche for curtains.

Web color

At the initial stage of the design project, in addition to the texture, the shade of the stretch fabric is also chosen. Cold tones are suitable for creating a calm atmosphere in the room, while warm tones will add a note of comfort. Most often, designers use the tones listed below in varying saturations and brightness.

• White.
• The black.
• Beige.
• Blue.
• Gray.
• Brown.

Design options

Consider the design options for suspended ceilings with the most modern and often used in interiors.

Combined drywall cloths

Plasterboard and tension models are often decorated with various lights, which can be located in a niche or around the perimeter of the protruding part of the structure.

Colored ceiling

A universal and win-win option for zoning a room - combine different colors of paintings.

In the photo, pastel shades of ceiling paintings are selected in color for individual fragments on the walls.

With photo printing

The original photo print on a stretch ceiling wins with its durability and speed of execution compared to real painting.

Space image

For the bedroom of adults or adolescents, the living room in a modern style is perfect "space design" - images of the planets of the solar system, the Milky Way, comets and asteroids. They excite the imagination and create an adventure mood.

Night sky

A special romantic atmosphere will create a design that simulates a starry sky or galaxy. This option is appropriate in bedrooms, home theaters and living rooms.

With chandelier

The design of the stretch ceiling does not allow you to mount the chandelier directly to the soft canvas. However, a hole specially made in it makes it possible to decorate the interior with a chandelier of almost any size suitable in style.

Between levels

Arrangement of a glossy canvas of a saturated shade between two levels with a matte texture is an original way of zoning a small room.

Photo in the interior of the rooms

When choosing a particular configuration, designers often compare photos of suspended ceilings in interiors of various sizes and styles.

Living room

Modern technologies for the production of suspended ceilings allow you to create a traditional design or art object that will become the main decoration of the room. The choice backlight in the living room depends on the task and concept of the interior designer.

Kitchen

The choice in favor of installing a tensioned design in the kitchen with backlight is often due to its practicality and aesthetics.

Bedroom

A special soothing atmosphere of the bedroom will create a properly selected shade of the canvas, which will harmonize or coincide with the main color palette of the room.

Bathroom

Thanks to innovative materials that are resistant to prolonged exposure to moisture and temperature extremes, the stretch ceiling has several advantages over other finishes.

Children

Concise or vibrant options lighting in the nursery will look great - the choice depends on the temperament and nature of the child.

Hallway and corridor

For the hallway or corridor, the choice of glossy or matte materials with a combined lighting system, for example, spots and contour lighting, will be advantageous. See more options lighting in the hallway.

Restroom

The advantages of a stretch ceiling for rooms of this type are easy to maintain and do not require restoration.
