Types of constructions

There are several types.

Single-level

Reliable, laconic and simple models. One layer of plasterboard allows you to perfectly level the surface, hide unnecessary wires and build in any lighting. The best option for a hall with low ceilings, since such structures without unnecessary decor create a calm interior.

Two-level

They look quite nice, easily fit into any design and add extra volume to the room.

Multi-level (3-level and more)

Fantasy forms of suspended structures made of plasterboard in three levels or more harmoniously complement any hall and look unusually luxurious in it. They create a sense of volume and spatial depth, and also allow you to divide the room into zones.

Shape and size of the living room

The design of the ceiling will largely depend on the specific shape and size of the hall.

Large. In such a living room, the design of the plasterboard ceiling can be very diverse.
Small. Here, single-level planes with spotlights and ceiling spotlights, two-level or three-level figured plasterboard structures in the form of accents in different areas of the area will be appropriate, for example, to place a hexagonal composition under a chandelier or to design a complex ledge above the fireplace.
Long and narrow. Various square shapes that visually expand the room will be suitable here.
With a bay window. The design of a multi-level ceiling makes the hall more comfortable and allows you to highlight and play up the bay window space.
Combined with the kitchen. Different ceiling designs serve as a kind of visual partition and allow you to conditionally divide the room into two functional zones. Plasterboard structures create unusual zoning contours.

Various interesting designs create an even more original, unique interior of the hall.

With backlighting

Lighting effects give the gypsum plasterboard ceiling an unreal cosmic look, visually lift it and make it a real highlight of the entire living room. Floating gypsum plasterboard structures are suitable for using any type of backlighting, as they do not pose a fire risk.

Drawings and patterns

They captivate with their unique beauty. Patterned ceilings look incredibly attractive and help to avoid monotony and static in the living room.

Combination with a stretch ceiling

For a competent combination, first of all, you need to consider the color combination. Such decor will certainly become a very effective solution.

Two-color

Colors are chosen based on from the design of the room and the apartment as a whole. Both matching in tone and painted in contrasting shades will look good, they will significantly refresh the hall and give it an original look.

Ideas for figured plasterboard ceilings

Drywall allows you to implement many design ideas that will harmoniously combine with the interior of any direction.

Circles and ovals. With the help of these shapes, you can visually adjust the room. For example, concave oval or semicircular shapes can visually reduce the hall, and a design with diverging circles will make it more spacious.
Rectangles and squares. The centrally located square plasterboard figures create dynamic differences and visually expand the living room space.
Triangles. Allows you to make an accent in the hall and emphasize its stylish interior.
Non-standard form. Unusual plant and abstract geometric shapes that do not have a specific configuration, form an original design and contribute to the aesthetic transformation of the entire living room.
