Design ideas from the ceiling of drywall in the hallway

The first room where guests of your house go is the entrance hall. Each dwelling, as a theater, begins with a hanger. And from what impression these first meters produce, the opinion of people about the whole interior as a whole will depend. One of the important details of each room is the ceiling, which in an ordinary panel house is not perfectly smooth. But even ceilings are the dream of every apartment owner. And you can achieve this. The most optimal solution would be to use a suspended plasterboard structure.

A lot of people still live in old high-rise buildings. Therefore, the issue of optimizing the space of small rooms is extremely acute. After all, these houses, as a rule, instead of the entrance group have a long narrow room.Such a hall trying not to overload with numerous furniture. To make the space seem more spacious, all surfaces are painted or pasted over with wallpaper using light colors. But there is another method of visual change of space: the optimal design of the ceiling plane.

Plasterboard sheets have numerous positive characteristics:

• ecological cleanliness;
• energy saving;
• soundproofing;
• flexibility;
• air permeability;
• moisture resistance.

All these qualities make drywall one of the most popular materials for the manufacture of various bulk structures: it can be a wall, a partition, a niche. Drywall ceilings have also become very common.

With the help of a plasterboard ceiling structure, rather unusual ideas are realized.

This is due to the fact that such systems have many positive qualities:

• low cost;
• the weight of the drywall sheet is small, it makes installation easier;
• simple construction, compared with other types of suspended structures;
• lack of preparation: there is no need to remove the old whitewash, which greatly simplifies the work and saves time;
• cleanliness during work;
• the resulting smooth surface does not require additional processing, it also hides the unevenness of the overlap;

• a variety of finishes - paint, plaster, wallpaper;
• the possibility of hiding all communications - ventilation ducts, climate systems, electrical wiring and other wires and cables;
• a variety of lighting options - multi-level, spot, open and closed lamps;
• the flexibility and plasticity of drywall sheets helps in the creation of any shapes and bends of the structure;
• possibility of the device of single-level, two-level and multi-level systems

It is necessary to note some negative aspects:

• fragility;
• a slight decrease in the room (the height can be reduced from 5 to 10 cm); in rooms with very low ceilings, it is used with caution;
• a ban on hanging heavy objects, such as chandeliers;
• insufficient moisture resistance - flooding the apartment with neighbors will adversely affect the condition of the structure;
• drywall for the ceiling is better to use in old houses, since the new building may shrink and drywall construction to crack;
• the white color of the ceiling may fade with age, and the design slightly deformed.

Plasterboard suspended ceiling systems differ in the number of levels. There are single-level, two-level and multi-level ceilings.

• Single level ceiling - the easiest to manufacture, which at the same time can serve as the basis for a multi-level system. Ideally flat surface - this is a single-level system after installation.
• Multi-level ceiling - a more complex structure that creates absolutely arbitrary patterns on the ceiling surface. The system allows you to interestingly equip the lighting. These are spotlights with LEDs, and you can add lighting between the levels, which not only looks impressive, but also raises the ceiling level visually.
• One of the modifications of the multi-level system is two-level ceiling. It is relatively simple to manufacture, but with it, it is possible device spot lighting.

The installation of a plasterboard suspension system is based on a frame construction. It is open and closed. Applying an open variety, directly the elements of the frame can serve as additional decorative elements in the interior.

In a small and narrow corridor, the installation of a suspended plasterboard system is perhaps the most correct solution for the design of the ceiling surface.

To do this, it is better to use the recommendations of professional designers:

• When installing a multi-level plasterboard system in a narrow corridor or hallway space, it is recommended to use clear graphic lines.
• A two-level ceiling with a rectangle or square recessed relative to the main level will visually move apart the space.
• In the elongated corridor it is possible to build several similar geometric elements at once.
• The color scheme of the ceiling of a small hall should be light, ideally white, which gives a visual expansion of the volume.
• Of particular importance is the design of lighting systems. It is important to use a lot of point light sources, which will add lightness and lightness to the interior.
• If you successfully arrange the spotlights or LED strip, it is possible to create a unique ceiling structure, even in a small room.

If you are the lucky owner of the overall room in the entrance area, it is also possible to use a modern plasterboard system, which in this case will help to implement even the most extravagant and unexpected solution. After all, here you can afford the construction of both single-level and multi-level ceiling.The main thing is that such a solution be harmonious and fit into the overall concept of the design of the apartment as a whole.

It will be better to use the advice of professional designers:

• The original reception for the overall hallway is the use of a multistage plasterboard system. This heavy, at first glance, construction will become almost weightless due to the well-thought-out color scheme, as well as due to the equipment of a spot lighting system. In installing the lighting system, experts recommend using several different types of light sources at the same time, which creates the effect of “floating air” and illuminates all dark parts of the corridor.
• Always a special luxury interior planes add smoothly curved lines. This technique creates the impression of blurring the strict boundaries of the ceiling, and the space becomes more airy and light.
• It is possible to design the surface of the ceiling in harmony with the overall color scheme. Another approach is the use of techniques of contrasting interior design, thus attracting attention to this element. This will highlight the plane of the ceiling from the context, making it the highlight of the room hallway.

• In the hallway with impressive dimensions allowed the use of dark tones that create a mood of comfort. A very interesting idea of ​​decorating ceilings with contrasting accents - for example, dividing the ceiling surface into black and white parts. Here it is important not to get too carried away with a multi-color palette. Designers do not recommend using too many colors in the interior. When choosing a color solution for a ceiling construction, three colors and even shades can be simultaneously present.
• Various textures are possible: the ceiling can be in a glossy or matte finish, there is a combined version from different textures. Very impressive is the combination of the glossy surface of the central part of the ceiling with a matte edging around the perimeter.
• The special chic gives the plasterboard ceiling surface an original finish that gives the room its uniqueness. This can be a photo printing or 3D-drawing, original hand-painted.
• The most spectacular is the mirror ceiling.It is well known that the mirror surface doubles all objects. So with the help of a mirror ceiling it is possible to double the height of the room. All household items and furniture that are in the room are reflected in the mirrored ceiling, which can create a feeling of completely unlimited space in the hallway.
