Advantages of plasterboard ceilings

Drywall is currently the most popular material for finishing walls and ceilings. The material, despite its availability, makes it easy to transform the room, so the number of design options can only be limited by a lack of imagination.

Drywall has many advantages, which is the reason for its popularity:

This is an environmentally friendly material that is completely harmless to health;
High level of sound insulation, which allows you to isolate yourself from noisy neighbors;
Drywall is a fireproof material;
Low weight, which facilitates the process of its installation;
Small cost;
Hiding utilities and any defects - cracks, chips;
Drywall is a fairly flexible material, so it can be used to create not only rectangular, but also wavy and spiral structures;
The possibility of staining in any color, including the possibility of combining them.

Attention! The plasterboard construction is attached to a special frame, which takes up a lot of space. For this reason, the use of suspended ceilings in rooms of low height is inappropriate.

Types of plasterboard ceiling

Plasterboard ceilings can be of several types:

single-level;
two- and multi-level;
curly.

Let's consider them in more detail.

One-level ceilings

A single-level ceiling is very similar to a regular concrete floor. Its main advantage is an absolutely smooth surface. If the base ceiling has many defects, then the drywall construction will hide them.

Installation of a single-level ceiling is simpler than a multi-level design. And the use of original lighting, painting or other decorative finishes you can create a unique design that will not occupy the height of the room.

Two-level and multi-level suspended ceilings

The design of two- or multi-level structures will make any room unique. To avoid problems during installation, think over the entire design in advance, even before starting work.

The most popular are two- and three-level structures, which is simultaneously associated with several factors:

division of the room into functional zones;
giving the interior an exclusive appearance.

With the help of such ceiling structures, you can radically change the interior, making it a real masterpiece of design art. You can install a variety of lamps in them, making a unique backlight.

The figured ceiling is one of the varieties of multi-level structures, but it is distinguished by a large number of bends or decorative finishes. Such a solution is suitable for creative people who love bold experiments. The ceiling can take the most bizarre forms, which should be emphasized with no less original lamps.

Using stretch ceilings in a small room

An alternative option for suspended plasterboard structures is the installation of stretch ceilings. They represent the best way out in case of renovation in a small room with low ceilings.

This option is considered more expensive, but the stretch ceiling device is such that it practically does not occupy usable space, which is very important in small rooms. A special profile is installed along the contour of the ceiling, on which the material (most often PVC film) is stretched in a special way. The result is a perfectly smooth surface, and the number of colors and textures allows you to fit such a ceiling into absolutely any interior.

In addition, you can combine stretch ceiling with plasterboard construction, creating an original decor.

Wall decoration from plasterboard

The use of drywall is not limited to ceilings. With it, you can radically change the geometry of the room or divide it into several zones. The most common are the following decorative designs:

niches. The size of niches can be very different, they can act as a decorative addition to the interior, as well as a completely functional part of it. In large niches, you can even put individual pieces of furniture;

arches. With the help of the arch, the room not only visually seems larger, but is also divided into separate zones;

partitions. Depending on the style, partitions can be solid or lattice.

To decorate a drywall wall, you do not need much experience. Although, in order to make some wave-like multi-level structures, it is sometimes better to invite a specialist.

Plasterboard wall design ideas:

For the manufacture of such structures, during the installation of metal profiles on the surface of the wall, markings are made and an additional level of the frame is mounted.

When making backlight at the same stage conduct electricity. Then drywall sheets are fixed and the finishing is performed.

Finish options

Walls decorated with drywall can be finished with various materials. The overall appearance of the structure depends on the execution of the finishing. You can decorate the walls using one or more color shades. The main thing is that they are in harmony with each other.

By applying different shades, we divide a large area into zones. The drawings made on the wall with paints also look beautiful.

To do this, we apply the background, then draw the image. If the color is tired, you can repaint the walls without significant costs. Review interesting ideas see in this video:

Consider the most popular options in the table:

№	Finishing material	Characteristics
1	Water based paints	Silicone, acrylic, latex, water-based silicate compounds are produced. The paints are easy to apply on drywall, practically odorless.
2	Latex and acrylic paint	Forms a moisture-resistant, vapor-impermeable coating that is resistant to dirt. If the paint is applied in two layers, it can hide cracks up to 1 mm wide.
3	silicate paint	It is applied in damp rooms. Fungi and mold will not form on its surface.
4	silicone paint	Plastic, forms a moisture-resistant protective film on the surface. Can hide cracks up to 2 mm thick when applied in two coats.
5	Luminescent paints	The finish, made with elements glowing in the dark, looks beautiful. Paint accumulates light during the day and reflects it at night.

Before performing finishing work, it is necessary to treat with putty all the joints of the sheets in order to obtain a smooth, even surface.

Preparing drywall for painting

For painting drywall walls, use opaque paint so that the putty does not shine through

Before you start painting, you need to putty the joints well. If this is not done, then the irregularities will be visible at the end of the finish.

How to properly prepare the surface of drywall for painting:

We put putty on the joint, distribute the composition over the surface. Then we glue the reinforcing tape, putty again. After the mass has dried, we grind the surface with sandpaper. Sometimes, instead of puttying the joints, the joints of the sheets are sealed with a sealant.
We clean the surface from dust.
We primed drywall in two layers. The second layer is applied after the previous one has dried.
Let's do a paint test. We apply a smear on a layer of putty, wait until it dries. Make sure it doesn't show through the paint.
If the paint hides the mass at the junction, proceed to painting the entire surface. We apply water-based paint in stripes using a short pile roller. It is better to apply the strips in the transverse direction, so that one overlaps the other by 150 - 200 mm. Each subsequent layer is applied after a certain time indicated on the package. We paint hard-to-reach places with short jerky movements with a brush or a special roller. For details on preparing drywall for painting, see this video:

When painting, avoid drafts and do not use heaters. If the paint dries quickly, then rolls (streaks from the movement of the roller) will be visible on the surface.

Decorative walls made of plasterboard look very beautiful. Using this material for wall decoration, you can create an individual unique style of the room.

Finishing the walls in the bedroom with drywall is one of the options for creating a stylish interior. However, for proper design, you need to know the specifics of the work and material.

Drywall Properties

Drywall is an environmentally friendly finishing material that does not harm human health, so it is well suited for decorating a bedroom. It is often used in design creation, as it has a number of valuable and irreplaceable qualities:

With the help of reinforced and gypsum fiber sheets, you can create a unique decor. Sheets bend when wet.

Light sheets are a handy tool for creating wall panels. To do this, drywall is covered with a fabric of the desired texture and framed, attached to the wall at the head of the bed.

Drywall is an exceptional material that allows you to break the usual lines and create new forms. Finishing with drywall allows you to artificially delimit the space and focus on the desired area of the room.

Design technique

Decorating the walls of the bedroom, creating an original and unforgettable design is carried out using the following elements:

color transitions(smooth transition of light and dark shades, a combination of contrasting colors);
embossed wall decoration(artificial creation of bulges, shelves and niches in the wall);
lighting at crossing points(the use of built-in lamps in the relief of the walls creates subdued lighting of the bedroom walls, it can also replace the ceiling).

In planning the interior of the bedroom, the dimensions of the room are taken into account. The installation of drywall structures takes up part of the space, which is not always convenient for a very small room.

Room zoning

Wall decoration, dividing the bedroom into zones can be done in several ways. This method is more suitable for large rooms: an arched passage mounted on the parallel walls of the bedroom will visually separate the rest area - the bed, from the practically used part of the room (working area or dressing room with a cosmetic table). You can enhance the transition effect with variety. The main thing is not to disturb the harmony of the image of the bedroom.

Drywall niches

- a spectacular way to transform the bedroom and place some things without overloading the room with excess cabinet furniture. You can create a small niche for decoration or provide shelves for storing things in the niche of the bedside area - pleasant little things or books in your home library. Position opposite the bed good way place the TV by properly adjusting the placement height.

Photo wallpapers are used for elegant decoration. Deep saturated colors are best placed in the recessed parts of the wall, leaving the bulges light. Thanks to this, the space will visually increase.

The general rule for decorating a niche is that the smaller it is, the smaller the decor items should be. The color can be used the same as the color of the walls, or stay on a related shade. A finish that is too dark can result in "holes" in the space of the room instead of contrasting decoration. LED strips will help to decorate a niche with unobtrusive lighting, you can also “illuminate” the recesses with built-in lamps.

Advantages

The material allows you to create any free forms, destroy the usual even boundaries, and transform the space. Installation of the structure is completed in a few days, you do not have to wait an unbearably long time for the completion of the repair. And the most important advantage of this environmentally friendly material is the individuality and originality of the interior. Using your imagination or turning to the help of professionals, you will bring your personal contribution and ideas to the design of the room, getting closer to the ideal version of your home. Finishing the walls with drywall according to a self-developed project will reflect your taste and preferences in the decor of the room.

Panel or mosaic

You can decorate the head of the bed with an interesting panel. The fabric should fit well color scheme rooms, be slightly darker than the base shade. You can create an interesting combination of a modular fabric panel on the wall and a bedspread made of the same fabric. The fabric should be dense and not wrinkled. At the same time, a square-shaped panel is placed at the head of the bed, the width corresponds to the width of the bed itself, 2 modules are hung nearby - vertically elongated rectangles to frame bedside tables.

A mosaic option is also possible - square drywall elements covered with fabric can be laid out tightly to each other. For the originality of the effect, it is better to rotate these squares and place them as diamonds. In this case, it is better to find the place of application individually for your room. For example, as a niche recess decoration. Wall decoration with frames or cornices is used only for framing.

Secrets of mounting structures

To obtain the desired shape of the drywall construction (""), a sheet concave in the desired direction, the surface is moistened so that moisture is absorbed evenly, a special roller with spikes is passed over the entire area, which leaves holes to the middle of the sheet thickness. The sheet is then carefully folded over, often using a "body" analogy to a stencil. Drying in it, the sheet will “harden” in the desired shape.
