Electrical wiring is laid in the ceiling of drywall. In this case, the bedroom will acquire an aesthetic and harmonious look.
Base material fastening
After completing the installation of electrical wiring, you can proceed to fastening the sheets of drywall. They need to be fixed immediately to the stiffeners and to the metal profile. This stage is not difficult, only accuracy and a sufficient amount of free time will be required. After the fastening of the first level is completed, it is necessary to plaster all the joints between the sheets of drywall. To obtain an aesthetic coating, it is necessary to wait until the putty is completely dry.
Those areas in which the installation of spotlights is supposed to have to have the output of electrical wires until the ceiling is completely made of drywall. The bedroom is an excellent room for installing several built-in lamps of small power.
Installation of the second tier
Before proceeding with the installation, you need to determine the height of the tier. First you need to draw a suspended ceiling made of drywall (photo). The bedroom with a bunk ceiling will be a great place for a good rest after working days.
An interesting solution will be the implementation of the first tier in the form of a circle, "recessed" in the center of the room. In this case, the option of two crescents is suitable for the second tier.
To begin with, according to the chosen form, a metal profile is attached to the first tier. The best option would be to invite the master, who has already repeatedly made a two-story ceiling from drywall. A bedroom with a two-level ceiling made in the form of a fragment of the starry sky is an interesting solution for lovers of luxury.
Installation requires skills, because at the slightest deviation from the intended trajectory, the aesthetics and durability of the coating will be violated.

A great option would be to use water-based paints. It is better to apply it in several layers, then you can get beautiful and even ceilings from drywall (photo attached).
For the bedroom, spotlights or one ceiling chandelier are selected. The choice of lighting depends on the personal preferences of the owner of this room.
Interesting ceiling solutions
How to make single-level plasterboard ceilings? You can choose any design for the bedroom, taking into account the height of the room, the area of the room to be designed. To begin with, it is important to correctly markup for the installation of a new ceiling. Such markings should be made on the walls around the perimeter of the room. To complete this stage, the master will need a building level. All designated points intended for fastening metal suspensions are drilled with a perforator. It is in these holes that self-tapping screws will be installed.
If the plasterboard ceiling is attached to a wooden base, wood screws will be required. In the absence of strong differences on the surface of the ceiling, it is sufficient to use a direct conventional suspension. If the ceiling in the room has many irregularities, a special suspension will be required.
Installation calculations
Before mounting the gimbal, it is necessary to carry out preliminary calculations. On average, the cost of one square meter of drywall ceiling will be 250-450 rubles. Additionally, you will need to purchase a metal profile. Depending on the thickness and width per meter, its price is from 120 to 250 rubles.

Additionally, putty and paint are required, the cost of which depends on the volume, manufacturer.
Those owners of urban apartments or country houses who do not have drywall skills prefer to invite craftsmen to arrange a single or multi-level ceiling in their bedroom. In this case, it is necessary to include in the estimate the costs of the services of the master. On average, the cost of one square meter of a single-level ceiling (including the acquisition of material) will be 550-750 rubles.
Given that installing a multi-tiered ceiling coating is a labor-intensive process, it will cost the owner 250-350 rubles more for each square meter.
The cost of fixtures that will be used to decorate the finished ceiling from drywall varies from 250 rubles (for one piece) to 1500 rubles. If you calculate all the costs associated with arranging a new ceiling from drywall sheets, you get a fairly round amount. Especially if you have to pay the master for work. But, given that the finished multi-level (single-level) drywall ceilings and stretch in the bedroom will be the hallmark of the house that they will not lose their original aesthetic characteristics for a long time, such material costs are fully justified.
Additions to the image

If the closet is in the children's bedroom, pick up stickers with the characters of children's cartoons. For the cabinet located in the parent bedroom, you can try decorative veneer.
Mirror to complete the image of the bedroom
With the correct arrangement of mirrors, you can visually expand the space inside the bedroom, the ceiling of which is made of sheets of drywall. Mirrors can make a small bedroom a huge and spacious room, ideal for sleeping and relaxing. If you have a narrow room, you need to hang a mirror on the wall, in which case the illusion of a wide bedroom appears. If small mirrors are placed on different walls, distorted space may appear, which will lead to an uncomfortable feeling. It is better to refuse such experiments in a room intended for relaxation.
When placing a mirror over a fireplace shelf, you can emphasize the brilliance and sophistication of the elements of the finished interior. By placing the mirrors in the room at certain angles, you can achieve the original effect. Having a small number of objects in the room, you can “clone” them by hanging a mirror on the wall.
