Bathroom ceiling finishing: materials, designs, color solutions and lighting.

Recommendations for choosing a ceiling for a bathroom

Nuances in decorating a bathroom:

• Since condensation forms in this room and water splashes can fall on the ceiling, it is better to choose materials that meet the basic requirements of the bathroom.
• For a small bathroom, ceiling models with a glossy reflective surface are perfect, which will visually increase the size of the space.
• For a bathroom with low ceilings in an apartment such as a Khrushchev-era building, it is undesirable to choose too voluminous structures that further conceal the height. They will be most appropriate in a room with high ceilings.
