Indeed, in the room he sleeps, and plays, and develops, and grows. Every detail will affect the level of comfort in the room, so much attention in the nursery should be given to all design elements, and in particular, the ceiling.

What to consider when choosing

There are three basic requirements for a nursery ceiling: safety, durability and hygiene. The best option, of course, would be if the appearance of the ceiling is combined with the rest of the room's interior.

Types of ceilings

Layered

All fantasies about figured volumetric ceiling can be satisfied with the help of multi-level design. It can rightly be considered combined, because the most complex structures can be embodied both from tension elements and from gypsum.

Multi-level ceilings are well suited to the children's bedroom and help embody the most daring ideas. Thanks to the overhead elements of the room, you can create a starry sky or race track.After all, on the ceiling, you can make a structure similar to heavenly bodies, stars, stands of stadiums.

In addition, with the help of multi-level ceilings you can zone a room. Thus, you can easily distinguish between the study area and the play area from the bedroom. For example, in the play area, the ceiling can be raised to increase free space, and in the bedroom you can cover the ceiling with small lamps that resemble a starry sky.

It is important to remember that a multi-level ceiling visually reduces the size of the room, so if its area is already small, then it is better to turn to some other type of ceiling.

Stretch ceiling

Very often, the stretch ceiling is made into the children's room for the boy. Basically it is either thin PVC film, or fabric impregnated with a special solution.

Advantages:

  • Just install it. Installation of such a ceiling takes only about 3 hours.
  • Hypoallergenic. Dust has no property to settle on the surface of stretch ceilings.
  • Unlimited design decisions. Thanks to photo printing on this ceiling, you can apply absolutely any pattern. A variety of textures will allow to experiment with the planes.
  • It is easily combined with any lighting device. It is possible to build in it small lamps, and to hang up volume chandeliers.

Disadvantages:

  • Synthetic base. Like any non-natural material, the stretch ceiling does not allow steam, which is the cause of non-ecological atmosphere in the nursery.
  • Low strength. Stretch ceilings are contraindicated mechanical effect. A child may not even notice how a carelessly planted toy can cause new repairs.

Wall mural on the ceiling

They meet the basic requirements: safety, aesthetics and practicality. Photowall-paper on a ceiling is glued also, as well as on walls. An important condition is the absolutely flat surface of the ceiling! The advantages of this stylistic solution are two:

  1. You can choose any image to arrange the room in the same style, no matter how unusual your ideas might be;
  2. maximum preservation of the ceiling height is considered an important aspect for those who own modest apartments.

Also on the ceiling, you can stick and regular wallpaper. To make a variety requires only painting.You can paint it in the usual white color or any other monophonic.

Suspension

From previous versions, a suspended ceiling is distinguished by its ease of installation and affordability. Its design is very simple: a metal frame is mounted to the main ceiling, onto which special ceiling modules are already suspended. The advantage is that the material of their manufacture is diverse - wood, plastic, plaster and even mirror elements. For the children's room it is preferable to use wood and plaster modules for environmental and safety purposes. The surface of the suspended ceiling can be both matte and glossy, which will definitely be considered the highlight of the room.

Specifications

As soon as the repair begins in the nursery, the question immediately arises - what ceiling do? And the problem is not to decide on the color or illustration, but in the choice of finishing material and the characteristics that it possesses.

First, the entire ceiling design must be safe. Not only from the point of view of ecology and hypoallergenicity, but it is also very important that not a single detail suddenly flies down.

Secondly, they should be easy to clean and not accumulate dust, so that all hygiene standards are observed.

Thirdly, for the child, of course, the design of the ceiling itself is important. The thematic illustration, the characters of the favorite animated films, the color scheme, all this must be discussed with the little inhabitant of the room.

Main points

The stereotype that everyone is probably familiar with: girls are pink, boys are blue. Do not now make such a fundamental distinction. Experts have long established that the predominance of any of these colors in the children's room is in principle inappropriate and even contraindicated, because bright pink refers to irritating central nervous system colors, and blue is considered a cold reject color. Therefore, the optimal color solution for the boy’s children's room is a combination of several, preferably warm, colors. It is recommended to use calm shades with bright elements that would catch the eye.

The preference of any color completely depends on the child himself, his age and, in principle, the characteristics of his character. If the boy really wants bright colors, then you can go to meet him and in the play area arrange the color ceiling, and in the recreation and study zone more relaxed.

Design Ideas

The most popular way to decorate a ceiling in a children's room is to draw a sky on it. Naturally, the lighting device will serve as the so-called sun. Air clouds can be painted with hand paint or made of plasterboard.

In addition to the "day" sky, it is possible to design and "night". With the help of luminous transparent paint or special phosphorous stickers you can make an imitation of the starry sky.
