In a short time, the masters will give a radically new look to the room, changing the ceilings beyond recognition. The painting will help you plunge into the history of past centuries or transfer it to the distant future if you create a futuristic picture on the ceiling. For those who want to feel connected with nature, drawing a starry sky above their heads will be a great alternative.

Modern and drawing techniques
Walls and ceilings were always painted with oil paint, which has not lost its relevance to this day. With its help, you can achieve unusual effects and create a picture worthy of the brush of great artists. Only oil paint can convey all the transparency, softness and depth of the shadows of the picture. But this method has several drawbacks - first of all, oil paint dries for a very long time, and applying it is not cheap. And after some time, the brightness of colors and shades is lost.
Long-term, if not eternal, is the painting of walls and ceilings using mural technology . This method involves applying a layer of paint to the still wet plaster, which significantly increases the life of the painting. The only drawback of this technology is its relative high cost. It looks beautiful, and at the same time, decorating surfaces with acrylic paints is inexpensive. They can be used in any room, as they are non-toxic, moisture resistant and wear resistant. Another advantage of this technique is that acrylic painting does not take much time.
Actual technology that does not require large expenditures is airbrush painting. This latest technique allows you to transfer any image, even your own photo to the ceilings. Airbrushing with volumetric drawings will help to visually increase the volume of the room and even change the perception of space, as well as hide flaws on the surface of the ceiling.
DIY painting
You can give an unusual look to a room without involving craftsmen or representatives of construction organizations. This will save a lot of money, but in order not to spoil the ceilings, painting should be done more thoughtfully, choosing the most suitable option for complexity and artistic skills.
The most common and simple method of decorating the ceiling is painting with a stencil. First of all, it is necessary to level the surface, after which a layer of paint is applied, which will be the basis of the picture. Painting stretch ceilings or gypsum plasterboard surfaces has a huge advantage, because they do not need to be leveled and prepared for a long time.
A beautiful ceiling is just
Now you can begin to think through the concept of the ceiling. It’s quite possible to create beautiful stencils with your own hands, the main thing is to present the ultimate goal. Pictures in an abstract or oriental style look beautiful and interesting, while you can create such even without special artistic skills. Unusual painting of ceilings (photo below) can be done using ready-made stencils that are sold in hardware stores and hypermarkets - this will greatly facilitate the work.
Choosing a picture and color of paints, it should be remembered that too bright a ceiling will distract attention from the room as a whole. Also, the purpose of the room should be taken into account. For the nursery, one should not choose pompous images; the perfect solution would be a sky with clouds or butterflies with birds. You can pick up a more serious drawing in the living room, but it should match the decor of the room. Do not grab the first idea that comes across, because in the process you can come up with a brilliant solution.
