Black ceiling in an apartment 80 non-standard and stylish implementations

The main task of any color is to serve as maximum expressiveness, but black has its own history. One of the most mysterious and atmospheric in the entire palette, at the same time it is an exceptionally powerful functional tool for effective contrasting highlighting and is equally friendly to most popular shades. It is no coincidence that a black suspended ceiling can be found in the interior quite often - people are attracted by its functionality and the unlimited number of design ideas associated with it, which can be used to visually optimize the living space. A large collection of 50 photos presented below is direct confirmation of this.

Of course, in comparison with the white color that dominates ceiling surfaces in most modern apartments, it is difficult to compete with the “hero” of today’s material. People are attracted to white by the versatility of potential combinations, tonal neutrality and the ability to saturate the room with vital air. In more accessible language, it makes it much easier to decorate the interior in accordance with your vision of a comfortable living space.

However, the bargaining chip of that very simplicity becomes individuality, which is lost in the thoughtless exploitation of popular shades.

Black stretch ceilings are most often found where the owners managed to preserve the unique decorative character of their room and embody in it their personal ideas about high-quality modern design.

Advantages of dark ceilings

The dark color of the ceiling contains a number of advantages, which include:
a feeling of peace and tranquility; excellent combination with different styles; the ability to fall asleep faster, since the dark ceiling will not attract attention or irritate; unique design; excellent reflectivity; the ability to make the room, with the correct selection of materials, more spacious and wider; decorate the room stylishly and elegantly; give the bedroom charm and aesthetic appeal; the ability to enliven the room, since against a dark background warm shades will seem brighter and more attractive; an excellent combination with any texture, especially with stucco.

Popular design solutions, such as space projection on the bedroom ceiling, will look great only on a black background. In addition, when decorating a room in a minimalist style, a dark-colored ceiling would be especially appropriate. If there are panoramic windows, such a ceiling will provide an ideal frame for the visible landscapes. A combination of a dark ceiling with built-in lamps will help create an amazing interior.

Unusual implementation

You can compare the gloss of black on the ceiling with the night sky. The decoration in this case will be stars made of LED and fiber optic lamps, which create such an effect of incredible beauty right in the room.

A beautiful large chandelier will look great on a black glossy ceiling. It will attract attention in itself, and its reflection will be an excellent addition. With its help, the interior will be decorated, and its sophistication and nobility will be emphasized.

In certain cases, the interior can be deliberately made mocking and defiant, focusing only on the ceiling. For example, the cheapest decorations or wallpaper of some bright color. With such a combination of incongruous elements, executed with some provocation, you can make the interior truly stylish and memorable.

Black satellites

The vast majority combine black with white. The contrast of black and white creates a proportional, strict image, and if you add a few colorful shades to it, the bedroom interior will be transformed and take on a positive character.

A beige shade is an excellent replacement for white. The collaboration of black and beige is not so pronounced, the room becomes warmer. This option is preferable for people who want to create a calm and measured atmosphere in the interior of a black bedroom.

Bright companions to black for decorating a bedroom include:

• violet;
• pink;
• emerald;
• citric;
• ruby.

But we should not forget about the rule: the more intense the combined color, the greater the need to add an auxiliary neutral color.

Wallpaper coverings

A type of finish that is pleasing to the eye, with which you can easily create the style of the room you need, as well as fit the ceiling and walls into the overall concept. This material is increasingly being used in decoration.

pros

• finishing materials are cheap;
• do not lower the ceiling height;
• easy to use, installation can be completed without calling specialists.

Wallpaper ceiling

Minuses

• labor-intensive work process - it will be difficult to hang wallpaper on the ceiling alone;
• Most coatings cannot be painted or washed, and wallpaper can also lose color when exposed to sunlight;
• Wallpaper may peel off at the joints.

Decor

In some cases, even a simple black surface on the ceiling looks elegant and beautiful, but this happens quite rarely; as a rule, the gloomy upper part of the room still needs some kind of addition so as not to upset the owners and guests.

In fact, there are only two ways to radically change the perception of a black ceiling, and both involve, of course, lighting:

The first way is to create a light visual effect, most often simulating the night sky.

This solution seems simply fascinating, since people of a romantic nature tend to stare at the stars for hours.

In some cases, you can make the sky look static by simply installing small recessed lights directly into the black interior of the ceiling, but a moving sky will look even more impressive.”

This effect can only be achieved with the help of a special projector, and although such pleasure is not cheap, the result will amaze the imagination.

The second method assumes the presence of light sources that are not directly connected to the ceiling. This can be either a pendant chandelier or spotlights mounted on the walls. The point of the effect is to direct the rays of light onto a glossy black ceiling, in which they will be reflected, demonstrating the play of glare.

Such effects are noticeable only in relatively dark rooms, but it still makes sense to opt for such a solution, if only for the sake of a romantic atmosphere in the dark.

Photos in the interior of the rooms

Living room

In a spacious living room you can use a matte surface and play of light. In the living room combined with the kitchen, partial decoration in a dark color will help to zone the space, separating the cooking area from the rest area. The same effect can be achieved using a multi-tiered structure.

In the photo, the ceiling decoration is made in black and white, thus visually dividing the space into functional zones.

A dark color is suitable for decorating a living room in a modern style. With wooden beams or a structure made of ventilation pipes, you can achieve a loft or country style. For a small living room, it is more appropriate to use a glossy surface; reflective properties will help to visually double the area of ​​the room.

Kitchen

For practical reasons, it is worth choosing a glossy surface; it is easy to clean. In addition, standard city apartments do not have spacious kitchens, which means a reception with a mirror surface will also help expand the kitchen.

A slatted or painted ceiling will look good. For bright lighting, you can use an abundance of spotlights and LED strip along the kitchen unit.

Bedroom

In the bedroom, black color creates an intimate and private atmosphere. You should not use glossy surfaces, as they will make the room lose its coziness. The design can be in several tiers or with a smooth transition from dark to lighter shades.

A massive chandelier in metallic or gold color will look harmonious in a classic interior, which will become the main object of attention and give the bedroom a special charm. For a minimalist and modern room, you can use spotlights.

Children's

Decorating a children's room with such a dark shade will be an unusual interior solution. A pure black color will make the room gloomy; a combination with other shades would be a suitable option. A good idea would be to decorate with photo wallpaper depicting the night sky; this option will support the light mood of the nursery.

Bathroom

The black top in the bathroom looks harmonious with the contrasting light color of the walls and floor. Metal hanging panels will be the best choice. The interior will be complemented by interior details in black, for example, a mirror frame, stands for soap and toothbrushes, and a cabinet under the sink.

Corridor and hallway

Black color, moving to one of the walls, for example with the front door, will elongate the space. Black finishing looks more harmonious in open hallways that flow into the living room.

Balcony and loggia

Due to the abundant presence of daylight, the balcony or loggia will not seem small and dark. In combination with light walls, the interior will be complemented by a pair of bar stools or a bean bag chair. It will be a cozy place for morning coffee or evening relaxation.

Styles

An owner who has seriously decided to equip his home with a black ceiling certainly claims to be a style-conscious person, but this means that the entire room must be maintained in one consistent direction.

Since black ceilings have not yet become widespread, it is difficult for most people to immediately say how to combine them with wall and floor decoration, as well as with original interior accessories in one style or another:

Minimalism implies the absence of bright accents and small details, so a classic color like black would be more appropriate here. White should be a counterbalance to black - it's a tone that floors and furniture should counter, and fabrics are probably best chosen in dark shades.

Avant-garde and pop art, which is close to it, are styles that assume a deep interpenetration of two colors, but categorically deny that this should be a combination of black and white. As a rule, one of the two colors is chosen to be calmer (in our case it will be only the black color of the ceiling), but its companion should be noticeable and bright.

Relatively speaking, the decor of the entire room in red tones with a black ceiling is a classic for these styles.

To respect the Art Nouveau style, it is very important to abandon rigid boundaries, completely relying on the smooth flow of objects and lines. The task of the black ceiling in such conditions will be to zone the room.

Art Deco is the complete opposite of Art Nouveau, since this style is based precisely on sharp edges and the separation of some elements from others. It is believed that in rooms designed in this style, a glossy black ceiling is more appropriate.

A striking example of the sharpness of transitions is the white baseboard, which clearly separates the ceiling from the walls.

Minimalism

A style that goes best with a black palette.

According to the designers, these concepts are inseparable. The classic version has the perfect combination of black and white. Although it is problematic to create coziness with these two colors, it is quite possible that you will need a minimum of furniture.

All items must be placed around the perimeter of the room; textiles, that is, curtains, must be kept in an identical color scheme.

Lighting can be spot lighting, without lush chandeliers - everything should be concise.

Loft

The ceiling in the loft style can be decorated with a structure made of pipes or ceiling beams; they can be the same shade or different colors. A roughly plastered black surface also looks good.

The photo shows a loft-style living room with metal ceiling decoration.

Pop Art

A style that is against mediocrity. There must be contrast, and it is best created by a black ceiling, or better yet, not a single-level, but a multi-level one.

An excellent solution in this case would be to decorate the floor and walls in red or burgundy colors.

Modern

Loves innovation, the use of natural materials, does not allow incompleteness. The lines in this style should move smoothly, visually delimiting the space - a black top will do this perfectly.

Art Deco

The style is represented by strict and clear lines.

This option for decorating a room is suitable for light furniture, decorative bronze details (for example, lamps), and incompatible color combinations.

A glossy black ceiling in this style can be complemented with a white ceiling border.

Classic

A classic interior will be decorated with a matte or satin ceiling.

The stylistic direction will be emphasized by an elegant ceiling base and a voluminous chandelier.

Choosing black color in the interior of your home will be an unusual and bold decision.

The selected finishing material will help increase the space or give the room a special charm.

When applied correctly, a black ceiling will decorate any room.

Unusual color palettes and combinations

In an interior designed in a modern style, you can use almost any color, the main thing is to choose the right one in combination with furniture and accessories, as well as the color of the walls and floors. With the existing range of building materials, absolutely any fantasy can be realized.

Black glossy ceiling and multi-colored walls

In general, black is too strict for artistic excesses and banal colors, but some owners and housewives simply cannot do without such elements.

And since there are no hopeless situations, in this case a solution was found, gray, which we have already considered, was chosen as the background color and brings in a little light from the wall paintings, adapting them to the overall atmosphere.

Black glossy ceiling and purple walls

If you're a fan of purple and definitely want to use this color with a glossy black ceiling, you only have one option: go for lighter purple shades (closer to pastels). The compelling tone combined with an equally deep ceiling can intimidate anyone.

Choosing bedroom furniture in black and white style

A large number of things load up the space, so place only the necessary minimum in the middle of the room. It is preferable to use built-in furniture from floor to ceiling along the walls, painted with light colors. In this case, it is useful to make a bright accent due to the colorful upholstery of the chair in the center of the room.

Furniture painted white looks great against dark walls. A similar impression is made by black bedside tables, ottomans and other furnishings in a bright room.

Additional attention is attracted by the rhinestone trim and carved decorations on the wooden parts of the headboard.

conclusions

In practice, black glossy stretch ceilings are most often found in various establishments, where they help create a certain atmosphere. In such places, the setting usually plays the role of a thematic exhibition, and the entire volume is distributed among functional areas where it is simply necessary to use special materials. This method is simple, yet effective in attracting customers due to the special nature of the establishment.

If we are talking about decorating your own interior with a black glossy ceiling, then this is rare, since such a coating is considered exclusive, and the entire design is extraordinary, and therefore requires a special approach from the owners. Black gloss can look different, but all other interior details in the room are important. That is why it is necessary to think through the design of the room as carefully as possible.

Types of ceiling

Different finishing options allow you to create a unique interior, and the texture and materials will highlight the chosen shade.

Tensioner

One of the most common finishing options is a suspended ceiling. The canvas is stretched and fixed in the wall profile. Depending on the chosen material, the surface can be glossy, matte or satin, the difference is in the visual effect and the width of the canvas.

• The glossy surface will visually increase the area of ​​the room due to the mirror effect.
• The matte material has no reflective properties and creates a backstage atmosphere.
• The satin fabric has a silky surface, the light softly spreads over the surface. In addition, this finishing method hides unevenness.

Painting

This finishing method requires a flat surface. Painting is carried out in three stages: priming the surface, applying the first layer, applying the second layer. For smooth application you need proper lighting, an energy-saving white lamp.

Suspension

Made of two types: plasterboard and slatted, it hides unevenness and allows you to create a multi-tiered complex structure. Drywall sheets are attached to the profile.

The slatted type is assembled according to the mosaic principle; slats are laid out in the wall profile. The slatted type material can have any color and texture.

Wallpapering

Wallpaper is the simplest finishing option. This also requires a flat surface. An interesting interior solution would be to use photo wallpaper, for example, with a picture of the night sky.

Wood

Wood trim is suitable for country style interior design; wooden panels can be completely painted black or partially in the form of ceiling beams.

In the photo, the wooden ceiling looks harmonious with the contrasting color of the walls.

Materials

To create a black ceiling in the interior (photo), you can use different materials. They differ in price, installation and created effects.

Matte stretch ceiling in bedrooms

1. Stretch ceiling. It can be glossy or matte. The advantage of installing it will be the absence of preliminary preparation of the surface, including leveling. Matte is suitable for almost any room, but glossy should be used with caution, because it tends to reflect all objects and people, which will be inappropriate in some rooms.
2. Suspended plasterboard structures. They also do not require preliminary surface preparation. It is unlikely that you will be able to install them yourself without the skill of working with the material, and besides, plastering it is not very convenient.
3. Tiled. This option looks attractive and there will be no installation difficulties. But ceiling tiles are often available in white, which means the ceiling will have to be painted.
4. Using wallpaper. This technique is rarely used due to the difficulty of gluing wallpaper to the ceiling.
5. MDF panels. They look good and are durable. Although their installation is difficult due to the massiveness and weight of the material.

Tip: an unusual solution would be to use black laminate on the ceiling. It is quite easy to install. The uniqueness of this solution will surprise your guests.

You can combine several of the proposed options. For example, suspended and suspended ceilings, and the use of different structures will create depth.

Common mistakes to avoid

Modern style does not impose strict rules and requirements for design. This finish is a reflection of fashionable and stylish trends in interior design, which allow for some deviations. However, there are several mistakes that people often make during renovations. Interior designers do not recommend using the following ideas for designing ceilings in a modern style:

• do not decorate the ceiling with plaster, this will create unnecessary shadows and give an uneven surface, in addition, such a ceiling will look out of date;
• do not use a foam tile ceiling, it will look too unmodern and boring;
• remember that square panels on a frame, made according to the Armstrong system, are not suitable for decorating a bedroom (you can use this idea in decorating a study or office);
• metal slatted ceilings are also not intended for bedroom decoration; it is better to introduce them into the corridor or kitchen;
• You should not oversaturate the room with light - basic basic lighting on the ceiling will be enough, which can be supplemented with bedside or wall lamps.

In which styles does black play a key role?

Most often, black color can be found in the newfangled neo-barroco style, in which black interacts with the colors of precious metals, and the companions of the night color include: white, red, purple. Compact, smooth shapes, glossy glass, artificial precious stones, leather and silk items - it looks very elegant and harmonizes with noble black.

Particularly partial to black and its constant companion white, another type of room decoration is considered to be modern minimalism. This style is characterized by the absence of excess, not only in furniture and interior decoration, but also by the limited use of the palette in the design of a black bedroom. And since white and black represent the absence of color, they are absolutely designed for modern minimalism.

Drywall

It is a structure made of a metal profile and plasterboard plates attached to it. Makes surfaces smooth and allows you to hide all repair errors on the base surface. Using plasterboard you can make a suspended ceiling of complex shape that will decorate any room

pros

• affordable price;
• drywall is easy to cut, it does not require maintenance and does not cause harm to residents;
• easy to install - installation can be done independently, without special tools, it is also possible to create a multi-level structure.

Minuses

• drywall wears out quickly in high humidity conditions, as well as in direct contact with water;
• Over time, drywall becomes deformed and may also change color, which affects the whiteness of the ceiling;
• access to communications and air ducts will be difficult (if they are located inside the structure).

Technologies for coloring black in the sleeping area

If it was decided to combine the decoration of the bedroom, there are different ways to implement this idea. Firstly, it is possible to alternate dark walls with walls of a different color, for example; black-beige. Either make a panoramic black wall, opposite the sleeping bed, or at its head.

Vertical method - with this method of pasting walls, stripes of wallpaper alternate, black and white, or black and color. The most popular method is the zebra crossing.

The disadvantages of a bedroom in black tones include:

1. They contribute to the manifestation of depressive states, create a burden, and have a depressing effect on a person.

2. It’s cold in a black bedroom.

3. It has a rather complex design; interior items must be strictly thought out. Because the slightest mistake will lead to the desire to change the color of the room.

Combination with wallpaper

Color compatibility table

Each person has his own stable, formed tastes. Fashion is fashion, but living in a house whose walls are full of fashionable 3D wallpaper, but you still like painted wallpaper or with a small, unobtrusive pattern, will quickly become uncomfortable and you will want to redo everything.

But how? To be stylish and original. If you are in doubt, the designers have developed a table of color combinations in the interior.

When the choice of a single color design does not suit you, use the compatibility table. Experts have selected harmonious combinations of two, three or more colors that do not strain visually, relieve psychological stress, and will look fresh and fashionable for a long time.

Lovers of contrasts need to know such pairs. For example:

• red is opposed to green;
• lilac – light yellow;
• orange – turquoise;
• blue – rich yellow;
• purple – light green.

Each person has his own stable, formed tastes.

. Experts have selected harmonious combinations of two, three or more colors that do not strain visually, relieve psychological stress, and will look fresh and fashionable for a long time.

And vice versa, you will not be accused of bad taste if you are one of the dominant ones in the interior:

• add a little pink and purple to red;
• blue – turquoise, greenish, lilac, purple;
• green - young light green, blue, turquoise;
• yellow - orange and light green.

When the choice of a single color design does not suit you, use the compatibility table.

Monochrome bedroom design

The interior of a room is called black and white, where approximately two-thirds of the surface is painted in these colors. Other shades are also used, but mainly as bright accents. On a white background they will be filled with light, and on a black background they will look rich.

Following these rules will help you create a unique monochrome bedroom design:

choose the main color. The predominance of white coloring of ceilings, walls, and furniture will help to visually enlarge a small room. For a spacious bedroom with large windows, a black suspended ceiling with spot lighting imitating a starry sky is quite suitable; fill the room with bright accents. The individuality of the owner is emphasized by figurines, paintings, and framed photos on the wall. Contrasting colors of bed linen, pillows, and curtains will help create an intimate atmosphere; use contrasting black and white prints on textiles

This is a stylish technique, but a sense of proportion is important here. Choose one thing so as not to overload the visual perception of the interior: curtains, bedspread or furniture upholstery; soften the severity of the outline of the windows with light translucent curtains and complement them with thick dark curtains; choose decorative elements of black color of the same saturation, since the variety of shades on a white background causes a feeling of dissonance; dilute the black and white contrast with a third color of your choice: blue, turquoise, lilac, red, silver, gold, any beige shades; equip the bedroom with several light sources on the ceiling and walls, and place a floor lamp in the corner.

Features of black stretch ceilings

It must be borne in mind that black is a rather demanding color. If you choose a glossy canvas, all the dust particles will be visible on it. In this regard, such ceilings are much more capricious than white ones.

In addition, it is necessary to carefully select the rest of the interior: only in the case of clothes does black go with everything. You also need to think about the choice of wall and floor coverings; pick up furniture. Otherwise, you risk getting a gloomy room devoid of style. Take a look at this photo.

Don’t forget about the general tendency of suspended ceilings to hide the height of the walls. It is better to use black canvas in spacious rooms - dark shades visually enhance this effect.

Properties

Black stretch ceilings are no different in practicality from solutions in other colors and fabrics:

• Safety. This is an environmentally friendly material, which is confirmed by numerous certificates of conformity;
• Durability. Such ceilings can last at least 50 years if their operation complies with the rules;
• Convenience. Stretch ceilings allow you to hide errors and unevenness of the main ceiling, without the need to use additional materials or spend a lot of time on leveling. The room will immediately receive a ceiling that has the required color, texture and appearance;
• Practicality. Stretch ceilings are characterized by an elastic structure, so they tolerate changes associated with shrinkage of the house. If necessary, a suspended ceiling can withstand a significant amount of water, so it will protect the room from flooding in the event of an emergency. In case of flooding, it is dismantled, the water is drained, and then the canvas returns to its original form. Lack of condensation, resistance to moisture, resistance to corrosion - these are the most significant advantages of suspended ceilings;
• Possibilities. Can be mounted at an arbitrary angle of inclination, creating vaults, tents, arches and other structures in any room;
• No problems during installation. Ceilings can be installed even in rooms where renovations have been completely completed and furniture has been installed. The entire process requires no more than 8-10 hours. The inter-ceiling space can be used to accommodate thermal insulation, acoustic, fire, ventilation and other systems;
• Low maintenance requirements. You can simply periodically wipe the surface with a dry cloth to remove dust;
• Affordability. Installing a stretch ceiling is cheaper than any other type, taking into account the preliminary leveling of the surface.

Disadvantages of a dark ceiling in the bedroom

Such an amazing and original solution as a dark-colored ceiling, in addition to numerous advantages, also has its disadvantages. These include reducing the height of the walls, which can be minimized using some design techniques. It is also necessary to wisely select combinations of interior items and decor, otherwise the bedroom will lose more in appearance than it will gain. Such ceilings are easy to maintain. Such ceilings can be wiped with a damp cloth only using products special for each type of finish. A dark ceiling gets dirty much faster than a similar light one, so it needs cleaning more often. Dirt on a dark ceiling is very noticeable.

Such ceilings, of course, create the effect of reducing the space or height of the walls, but if you apply a glossy film, the consequences of the negative effect will disappear. In the bedroom you can place spotlights or lamps with shades closed at the top. You can also use lamps with the open part directed away from the ceiling surface. Increasing the number of lighting fixtures will help make the bedroom space seem larger.

Dark-colored ceilings are a unique opportunity to make the interior of your bedroom cozy and comfortable, as well as original and attractive. If you encounter difficulties with the placement of lighting fixtures or the selection of furniture elements, you can always turn to specialists for help.

Surface

A glossy surface helps add luxury to a room. This ceiling makes the room look chic, sophisticated and unique. That's why most people choose gloss.

It reflects light, thereby increasing the space.

The matte surface makes the room a little subdued, but at the same time stylish.

How to play up a black and white bedroom design

The predominance of black enhances the intimacy of the room's design. They complement the romantic setting with decorative elements: figurines, paintings, stucco moldings in the appropriate style. At the same time, a dark bedroom is an ideal place to relax and unwind.

Use any of the shades of black as the main color:

• deep rich;
• with a metallic sheen;
• blue-black;
• with bright white splashes;
• dark chocolate.

Only the design that is developed taking into account the age, gender, and character of a person gives real pleasure. A little girl definitely needs a bright, cozy room. Black can highlight elegant furniture, a chandelier, soft openwork ornaments or relief patterns on the ceiling and walls. White tones should still predominate.

A good solution would be to use different light shades:

• baked milk;
• lactic;
• smoky;
• blue-white;
• pearl;
• Ivory.

Bright accents against the backdrop of delicate pastel tones will help get rid of the monotony of a black and white duet. Soften the contrast of the interior with the smooth curves of hand-carved furniture. Open up the space with photo wallpaper depicting a landscape stretching beyond the horizon.

How to add brightness to a darker-than-cloud ceiling

The decoration of a standard Khrushchev house can be diversified if you use a dark ceiling there. But how will its influence on the appearance of the room be diluted?

You can add bright details to the interior: pillows, panels, stained glass windows, paintings, capes and lamps. Another dilution of dark color occurs by combining it with bright white walls, wallpaper with colored prints, play of textures and unusual furniture design. It is also possible to make the ceiling hollow and install LED illumination inside it. Beautiful and colorful curtains add that zest to this design that is simply necessary when using a black ceiling.

The sleeping option involves variety in the form of bedspreads, plants, colored curtains made of bright beads and fringe. In general, anything that brings pure colors and unusual shades into the room will do.

When the interior is black from such a ceiling, it is necessary to lighten all the walls and related details as much as possible. Combinations of black-red, dark gold and black-silver shades on the ceiling are also possible.

In this case, room lighting plays a big role. Overhead lighting should be complemented by wall sconces and lamps with unusual colors. Pink lighting will make the interior soft and cozy, and a bluish glow will add the necessary accents.

To make the dark ceiling canvas look elegant, it is made heterogeneous. Niches, ledges, drawings and slabs at the top will only decorate this design option.

A single canvas fits well with all modern designs. The older the style, the richer its history, the more ornate the room should be decorated, and, accordingly, its top. Minimalism, on the contrary, does not tolerate intricate patterns, so a single ceiling style is better suited here than with other options.
