With these advantages, the plasterboard ceiling still has its drawbacks that need to be taken into account.

The main disadvantages.

• Despite all the design tricks on the visual expansion of space, in fact it will still decrease. The top of the room will be lower by 5-15 centimeters due to the features of its installation.
• Despite good sound insulation, the moisture resistance of this material leaves much to be desired. Therefore, if neighbors flood you, the material will deteriorate and the ceiling will have to be dismantled.

The design of the ceilings of plasterboard are distinguished by the type of their shape.

• Multilevel ceiling coverings. They are also called stepped or stacked. Can be made of two or three steps. Such ceilings look truly luxurious and unusual.

• Figured Ceilings are the most difficult in terms of performance. It takes a certain skill to cut a non-standard shape from a drywall, for example, a butterfly, and fix it on the ceiling. However, it will be truly stylish and unique.

For small bedrooms, a single-level ceiling is suitable, which is the simplest in form.In the small "Khrushchev" should not plan multi-level ceilings. Such designs will be oppressive and cumbersome to look in the room. But in modern spacious new buildings or in studio apartments, multi-tiered ceilings will be pleasing to the eye.

But in the small bedroom there are also options for multi-level ceiling covering that will look great. However, such a design must have smooth lines, and the second stage should not strongly protrude from the surface of the first.

We now turn to the visual moments. The special arrangement of the second ceiling tier will help us create the illusion of wide space.

• Place the design of the second tier of the ceiling where the bedroom is a wardrobe, chair, chest of drawers, a TV or a floor lamp. This will create the effect of two spatial zones and the room will appear larger.

Forms of plasterboard ceiling coverings in bedrooms of 12 square meters.m usually have smooth oval bends, rounded features harmoniously intersecting with each other. Compared with sharp corners, such designs are pleasing to the eye and allow you to relax. However, there are lovers and standard geometric shapes on the ceiling. Such a solution for sleeping at 3 meters is not too popular.

A common option is also a concave-shaped ceiling, which will visually come an additional height. And if you need to reduce the ceiling centimeters in certain places, the ceiling will come to the aid of a convex shape.

Making the ceiling of the bedroom should start with a choice of design, it is desirable to use new items. Drywall allows you to perform it in a variety of ways. The main value when choosing the shape of the ceiling design is the height and area of ​​the bedroom.

Choosing an idea is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. After all, when it is thought out, it is necessary to take into account every detail: the shape of the bedroom, the design of the ceiling, the arrangement of lamps for the distribution of light in different areas of the bedroom, the location of mirrors, and the like.

The style of the ceiling construction should be combined with the overall design of the bedroom. For example, if you have a bedroom made in baroque style, prone to excess, then, of course, you should resort to a multi-tiered ceiling. But the style of minimalism will not tolerate such a decision. In this case, it would be wise to choose a classic single-level ceiling. In children's rooms, the curved ceiling with images of various flora and fauna will be a wonderful solution.

It is also important to choose the color of the ceiling: it creates the basis of comfort. It is known that the mental state of a person depends largely on the color of the room.

• Red. This color scheme is undesirable for bedrooms, as it is considered aggressive and emotionally exciting. However, if you like this color, you can use its softer shades, be it pink, alizarin or cinnabar. Also, this color will look good on the concave elements of the ceiling design.
• Yellow. One of the most pleasant colors for the bedroom. It relaxes well, creates a feeling of warmth and comfort.In combination with darker shades (mustard, vanilla, sand, blue) and orange tones, it will look great on multi-tiered ceilings.

• Green. The color of natural vegetation also has a beneficial effect on humans. This color scheme is the ideal solution if there are large broadleaf plants in the bedroom. Hue is better for him to choose a light grassy range.
• Blue. A good solution for the ceiling in the bedroom. Especially it will be useful in low rooms. Heavenly color visually allows you to expand the space, giving it inaccessibility and serenity. However, this color is cold, so dilute it with bright decorative elements of warm shades.

After installation, the ceiling needs to be transformed into a color scheme. For colors it is recommended to use water-based acrylic paints. Before painting or pasting it with wallpaper do not forget to pierce the joints and apply several layers of primer.

If you decide to use spotlights, give preference to LEDs. They consume less electricity, which will save you money.

Before installation, make sure that there are no smooth transitions and roundings between the wall and the ceiling. A joint of 90 degrees will provide the smallest distance between the previous ceiling and drywall, respectively, the useful area of ​​the room will be greater.

When fixing plasterboard sheets with self-tapping screws, it often happens that it is pressed through more than necessary: ​​this leads to cracking of the sheet. Therefore, when working with a screwdriver, use a special nozzle with a limiter.
