This is a rather bold decision - a black ceiling in the interior of the living room. It creates a mysterious and enchanting atmosphere in the house. Using the play of light and texture, you can create an original and unique interior. Black color gives a feeling of security, but if used ineptly, it can cause depression and depression. At home, it should be used dosed.
If you take into account some nuances, you can avoid the oppressive atmosphere:
- In a small room, black can conceal space.
- The black gloss ceiling in the interior will help to visually enlarge the room.
- This ceiling coating is in harmony with the contrasting color walls.
- Dark tones should preferably be used in bright and open rooms.
Types of ceiling coatings
Today, there are several ways to decorate the ceiling. The use of various materials allows you to create interesting interiors. We consider each case separately.
Tension
This is one of the most common finishes to date. In a profile mounted on the walls, a fabric or film web is stretched and fixed. Depending on the material, the surface can be matte, glossy or satin. The difference is only in the width of the canvas and the visual effect. If the glossy surface of the room area visually increases due to the mirror effect, then matte paintings that do not have reflective properties create a behind-the-scenes atmosphere. On a satin canvas with a silky surface, light spreads gently.
Painting
This finishing method can only be used on a perfectly flat surface. Painting is carried out in three stages: a primer, a first coat of paint, a second coat. For the composition to lie on the surface correctly, you need the right lighting and a white energy-saving lamp.
Suspension
This design is of two types: rack and pinion. It reliably hides existing irregularities and allows you to create a multi-tiered complex structure. According to the mosaic principle, the rack type is assembled. The profile is laid out rails.
Wallpapering
Perhaps this is the easiest option for finishing the ceiling. To perform it, you also need a flat surface. In recent years, ceiling paintings have been used for painting. It looks originally pasted on the ceiling with murals, for example, with the image of the night starry sky.
Wooden
The black wood ceiling looks interesting in the interior. It is suitable for decorating a room in a country style, and wooden panels can be painted black completely or partially - in the form of ceiling beams.
Combination with the walls
The most successful options:
- Black ceiling and walls. Pretty bold combination. For this design, a room with bright lighting and plenty of daylight is suitable.
- Black ceiling and white walls. In this classic color combination, contrasting white walls brighten the room and make it more spacious.
- Black ceiling and red walls. So designers recommend decorating a home theater. You can use not only plain wallpaper, but also imitating brickwork.
- Black ceiling and gray walls. Suitable fabrics with imitation of plaster.
- Beige walls and black ceiling. The color palette of the room is balanced by beige. Black doesn't look so flashy.
Combination with gender
There are also nuances here:
- Black ceiling and floor. Dark marble floors and black marble floors or carpet look great. Walls in this case are best done in bright colors.
- Black ceiling and white floor. Very stylish solution. White flooring will brighten the room. Designers recommend using a small carpet for practical reasons.
- Black ceiling with gray floor. Expensive color combination. The decorative gold or metal elements will successfully complement the interior.
- Black ceiling and wooden floor. Natural wood looks harmonious in any interior. It can be a laminate, parquet or linoleum with imitation of a tree structure.
Making the living room
The spacious living room has a black ceiling with lighting. It is advisable to opt for a matte finish. In the living room combined with the kitchen, the black ceiling in the interior is used for zoning the space, separating the cooking place and the recreation area. The same effect is achieved using a multi-tiered design.
The black ceiling in the interior of the room, decorated in a modern style, looks original. With ventilation pipes or wooden beams, you can create a loft or country style living room. For a small room it is more expedient to use a black glossy surface: its reflective properties will visually increase the area.
Kitchen with black ceiling
Who would have guessed 20 years ago that his kitchen would have a black ceiling? And today, such a design is not rare. The black ceiling in the interior of the kitchen is almost always a glossy finish. Its reflective surface gives depth to this complex color, mirrors the interior of the room, expands the space visually. Matte surface will not cope with such tasks. It should be remembered that black color needs scope and space. Its use in small rooms is not recommended.
In addition to tension structures, a glossy black ceiling can be made using aluminum battens. Their smooth mirror surface is ideal for such rooms.
Black grillato kitchen
The original kitchen design can be used with grillato - a special kind of cassette ceiling. It is not very common in residential premises, but if you are not averse to experimenting, try this option. Grilyato, like the ceiling systems mentioned above, expands the space, but not thanks to the glossy reflective surface, but due to the lattice open structure. Grilyato has no problems with ventilation of the inter-ceiling space, therefore, moisture does not accumulate there and mold does not start.
The only drawback of this design is the love of space. In other words, it is not suitable for small rooms.
Black ceiling in the bedroom interior
The bedroom is one of the calmest and quietest places in the house, so the ceiling in deep and saturated black is perfect for her. It will create a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere in the room and give the interior a unique charm. The black ceiling in the bedroom interior looks elegant and elegant. They become one of the main accents of this room. As a rule, they are used for monochrome interiors, complementing furniture with pastel colors.
Most designers prefer matte flooring in the bedroom, believing that they do not create discomfort from the constant look of their reflection. Matte canvases fit perfectly into the bedrooms, made in the classic or English style.
Glossy stretch ceilings can be considered a creative solution. They can be used in the design of the premises in the style of hi-tech, art deco, minimalism. Looks great in ethnic areas of design (Japanese, Chinese, African, Moroccan) designs in black with ornaments and patterns. You should know that the black ceiling requires bright and high-quality lighting. Otherwise, it creates a somewhat gloomy atmosphere.
Unique visual effects can be achieved by combining various types of fixtures: a large chandelier, spotlights that give the bedroom an elegant look, LED lighting. Quite often today, designers use the sky projector on the ceiling in the design of the bedroom, because it is so nice to fall asleep watching the twinkling of stars and falling comets. This design has an amazing effect.
Such devices are manufactured by Russian and foreign manufacturers. The system includes a projector, which is responsible for light fluxes, and fibers, the ends of which are attached to the ceiling. This design can be used with plasterboard bases, and with stretch sheets. Depending on the model of the device, the pattern, consisting of luminous points, can be different: with even light of one tone, shimmer or flicker in several colors, creating the feeling of being in the open.
Hallway
We will not hide - today it is not so often possible to meet a black ceiling in the hallway interior. The negative perception of this color, which is most often associated with mourning, has taken root in people. This is a misconception and a biased attitude to black: with proper use, its unique characteristics will be revealed. Many people managed to overcome the inertia of the installations and create unique interiors in their halls.
In the hallway, a black ceiling will emphasize the individuality of the room, creating a pleasant atmospheric background. This is especially true for spacious rooms. But, despite the fact that experts do not recommend such a ceiling in low hallways, many people managed to successfully integrate them into their interior.
When using a dark ceiling, attention must be paid to lighting. The backlit ceiling will help create an unusual game of contrasts, saturate the room with volume and highlights. Flat chandeliers look interesting in such an entrance hall. If you doubt and don’t know which coating to prefer - matte or glossy, remember: due to the pronounced mirror effect, the gloss makes the room taller, while the matte surface in a small room creates an uncomfortable atmosphere.
Black color, which goes to one of the walls, for example, with the front door, will stretch your hallway. Dark ceilings look more harmonious in the open corridors that go into the living room.
Modern designers welcome the desire of owners to make a black ceiling in the apartment. But since this color is heavy, a lot of painstaking work is required to reveal all its advantages in order to create a modern and stylish interior.
