Black stretch ceilings: features of the application in the interior

The process of creating a modern and unique interior in the room is impossible without the use of creative and bold ideas in the course of the project. And this concerns the design of rooms not only with decorative objects and extraordinary furniture, but also the creation of a unique covering on the ceiling, which will be the main highlight of the whole style.

The ceiling can set the main direction, emphasize the already created line in the interior or have a negative impact on the overall decoration. Today, black stretch ceilings, with individual pros and cons, are becoming increasingly relevant.

Stretch ceilings are deservedly popular because they have a number of positive technical properties, as well as a rich variety of options for the external design.Today, black surfaces, which stand out for their effectiveness in any textural design, are in high demand.

However, the question that concerns the organic inclusion of the black ceiling in the general style of the room remains very important, since this color is very pretentious, requiring a certain edging.

The undisputed advantage of black stretch ceilings is their extravagance. Smooth and glossy surface gives the room a hint of mystery and magic. And due to the weight of options for the textures of the material (for example, ideal and gliding gloss, matte or satin texture of the canvas), you can realize all the wildest fantasies in the design.

Black background will help even the most ordinary chandelier to play with new colors: due to the contrast of dark and light, the lighting fixture will become a luxurious piece of interior, with which you can also place accents in the room. Variants of using built-in lights or spotlights help create an imitation of the night sky strewn with beautiful stars.

Like any other material, black canvas will have some drawbacks:

• in the case when there are seams on the coating, the black color scheme will focus on them;
• The disadvantages of such coatings include the specificity of material care: on the dark ceiling, the slightest contamination will be noticeable, as well as divorces from wet cleaning with an unsuitable composition;
• black ceilings in the room can reduce the area and height of the room.

In general, if you make a mistake in the course of creating the design, the interior will have a depressing impression and create a heavy atmosphere in the house. Therefore, it is very important to properly shade dark surfaces with contrasting light details and surfaces in the dwelling.

The main raw material for the production of suspended ceilings is a film consisting of special textiles or polyvinyl chloride. In this regard, the types of paintings differ significantly in terms of aesthetic properties, as well as mechanical characteristics.The combination of these features suggests different ways of mounting products to the surface.

• Fabric membranes offered to customers in the form of large rolls, the installation process which does not require welding. The material does not respond to rising temperatures, so there is no need to create certain temperature conditions. Such products have a high level of strength, several times higher than that of film products. At the same time, the rigidity of the raw materials is also much greater, therefore additional efforts will be required for installation. The color assortment of cloths made of fabric is very limited, but the advantage of the external design is the presence of patterns on the products, which will allow to use them together with other elements, creating an original design on the ceiling in the room.

• Unlike the first kind of material, film products represented by a wealth of color options and textures. Products can be matte or glossy, one- or two-color. The installation process requires the use of certain equipment - a heat gun, since the installation technology includes the mandatory heating of the room to 40degrees In addition, it is necessary to warm up the working material itself, which will ensure the elasticity of the raw materials and the effect of heat shrinkage. In some cases, it may be necessary to weld the product to obtain a web of a given area and configuration.

There is no big difference in the use of one or another type of stretch ceiling. In practice, apply similar techniques and tools. Based on this, it is possible not to focus on the characteristics of types of tension products, but to make a choice taking into account color preferences and textural features.

If you use black fabric with any pattern, the emphasis in interior design will be placed on it, and the rest of the decor will be repelled by the pattern on the ceiling. For example, a black stretch ceiling with a star galaxy will set a unique direction and style in the room.

The choice of canvas in glossy or matte design depends on individual taste preferences.

It is necessary to highlight the general properties of the perception of varieties of textures.

• As for glossy products, their use allows to slightly increase the area of ​​the room due to the reflecting features of the material. Small rooms in the house, for example, corridors, bathrooms or hallways can be visually expanded to create the impression that the height of the ceiling in the room is much larger, which will add a feeling of spaciousness and freedom. Requirements for the quality of the installation of glossy cloths increase, since the smallest unevenness will be clearly visible on them.
• Matt ceilings are less complaint. They have a soft appearance, so possible defects are not so striking. But they will not be able to expand the space as glossy products.

Stretch ceilings have a good level of moisture resistance and durability, which allows you to install them in the bathroom, kitchen or indoor pool. The material will help to protect expensive repairs, furniture and equipment, as it is able to contain a large amount of water leaked from its neighbors.

For living rooms, the use of a glossy finish will be a beautiful option, but it is better to stop at seamless products so that the seam is not noticeable.

Corridors or hallways should be decorated with satin products that soften the cool black color, making it deep. Small rooms are better designed with clear and regular geometric shapes. In such cases, abstraction will help out - it will visually enlarge the room.

The room, which is planned to make in strict black and white colors, is pasted wallpaper wallpapers with a retro print, an image of a night metropolis or imitation of newspaper spreads. With this design on the ceiling will form a beautiful reflection of the surfaces that will visually increase the room.

Black and white combination can be transferred to the ceiling itself. In this case, you can realize any, even the wildest fantasies. For example, abstract strokes or patterns, as well as oriental design, including the image of the symbols Ying and Yang - an ideal choice for a bedroom or a hall.

The stretch black ceiling with a print of a galaxy will decorate any room (for example, you can decorate a children's room in such a way). The insert in a certain part of the ceiling, imitating the night starry sky, will decorate the hall or dining room.So you can even arrange a bathroom, placing a piece of space on the ceiling.

Two-level ceiling structures in living rooms, where black canvas will be one of the elements, will also be an ideal solution for many rooms.

Abstract drawings on the black ceiling in the kitchen (for example, in the form of flames or colored smoke) will decorate even the usual dining room, furnished in a discreet and discreet style.

Using interesting and simple tricks, you can vary the appearance of the black ceiling.

• Black ceiling in the bathroom can be supplemented with plain tiles or furniture.
• For a classic style in the design of the room it is necessary to focus on the matte appearance of the products. And so that the room does not seem too gloomy - it is necessary to include additional lighting devices in the interior.
• Due to the reflective qualities of the product, in a room with a black ceiling it is better to hang a beautiful figure chandelier or install spotlights.
• The black coating can be supplemented with light-colored plasterboard elements, and the details can be both clear and sharp forms, and smooth rounded lines.

• Lamps should be installed on additional designs. Hidden light bulbs on a black finish will create a starry sky effect - an ideal and inexpensive way to complement a dark surface and create a beautiful look.
• To make the surface of the black ceiling look like a starry night sky, it can be decorated with small light bulbs, which are made in the form of stars.
• Satin canvases do not reflect light, so they must be additionally arranged in addition with lamps.
• The original design technique will be the use of a black product as the base on which the perforated insert will be located, made in white color.

Black ceilings have a lot of reviews, among which there are positive and negative. As many apartment owners, who use glossy black ceilings, point out, they are absolutely not suitable for rooms with a small area and minimal natural light. In order not to feel discomfort, a room with a black ceiling should have large windows. Ideal would be a room with windows in the floor.

As for the design style, there is no single opinion where it is preferable to use such materials. With proper and strict exposure of a single design line, black ceilings will become an original addition to any style (starting from conservative minimalism or classics, ending with the modern high-tech direction).

Modern with smooth lines of light colors can be supplemented with a black mirror ceiling and a volume chandelier located in the center of the room. This option in combination with contrasting elements of decoration and upholstered furniture is ideal for studios, where the living room and dining room are located in the same room.

The interior in the art deco style will decorate a dark stretch ceiling with a pattern resembling painting with gold threads. It will emphasize luxury and exclusive design, as well as aesthetic pleasure from the contemplation of an unusual pattern.
