Purple ceiling: design, shades, photos for stretch and suspended ceilings

Lilac stretch ceiling for the living room
The design and variety of colors of stretch ceiling systems offered on the construction market is amazing. But it is worth paying attention to some basic rules for the color and stylistic design of a room, which should definitely be taken into account when purchasing a stretch ceiling of one design or another. Purple stretch ceiling is this year’s fashion trend in interior design (see Palette of stretch ceilings: expert advice on how to choose a color).

Depending on the size of the room and its height, the main color scheme of the stretch ceiling is selected . For example, a purple or steel stretch ceiling, without decorative color inserts, is best suited for the interior design of spacious and high rooms.

Also important in choosing a color is the functional purpose of a particular room:

• For living and dining rooms, you can choose a rich purple color with eye-catching silver or gold inlays;
• For children's rooms and bedrooms, lilac, diluted with pink and blue shades, is preferable.;
• For a kitchen or hallway, a combination of lilac and purple is ideal;
• For a bathroom or swimming pool, purple and turquoise are recommended, a complete imitation of an evening seascape.

Features of purple color in the interior

Nuances that should be taken into account when decorating an apartment or house:

• For small rooms, you should not prefer shades that are too dark and cold, as they visually narrow the space and can quickly tire you out and cause irritation.
• Purple goes well and creates accent combinations with blue, light blue or pink; neutral duets can be achieved with white or gray, and red, yellow or orange are suitable for original contrasting combinations.
• It is better to select such decor using companion colors that will harmoniously and correctly dilute the purple so that such a palette does not seem too saturated.

Unusual solutions

Of the original ceilings, it is worth noting the ceilings with photo printing. Thanks to these ceilings you can emphasize the interesting character of the interior. Purple color goes well with blue and cyan, so it can be used as a basis for ceilings with a “starry sky” effect.

Types of ceilings

There are several types of ceiling models.

Stretch ceiling

Using stretch fabrics, you can quickly and effectively create a perfectly smooth and even ceiling surface, and thereby achieve the desired results in decoration. These models always look very stylish and fit harmoniously into the interior.

Suspended ceiling

A fairly common finishing option. Suspended structures are characterized by convenient installation, low cost and the ability to create almost any shape that can transform the space.

Painting

This economical, simple and affordable design option allows you to achieve the desired decorative effect. You can decorate any room with a variety of matte, gloss or semi-gloss paints.

Installation features

Stretch ceilings are mounted in two ways:

Bead method.

The canvas is fixed in the profile with plastic clips. The advantage of this method is its simplicity, since it does not require complex calculations or preliminary preparation. This method is recommended for those who want to save on the cost of ceiling installation or choose economy-class options, for example, those made by Russian or domestic manufacturers.

The disadvantage of this method is its disposability. It will not be possible to dismantle the canvas without damaging it. Therefore, during subsequent repairs it will be necessary to purchase the entire set of materials again.

Harpoon method.

First, the canvas is cut to suit the configuration of the room. This is why correct measurements become so important. Then the pieces of canvas are attached to a profile, which is fixed in the walls. The result of this installation is a smooth surface that is absolutely not prone to any deformation. Also, it is the harpoon method that allows you to create complex structures and install hidden electrical wiring above them.

The downside of these features will be the higher installation cost. But the harpoon method makes it easy to remove the canvas and then install it back. This means that by paying a one-time significant amount of money, you will only save in the future.

In general, a purple stretch ceiling is an original and unexpected design solution that creates a unique and inimitable atmosphere in the atmosphere of the room. But to achieve such a result, you need to carefully approach the planning and design of the interior solutions of your home.

Types of texture

There are three types of surface.

Glossy

Glossy stretch models always attract glances and attract attention. Thanks to such a surface, it turns out not only to visually increase the space, but also to give the room an aristocratic and noble appearance.

Matte

The perfectly smooth matte surface of the stretch ceiling has a very natural and natural appearance. These products do not create glare or reflect light and are therefore perfect for decorating any room.

Satin

Stretch satin fabrics have a special texture that shimmers beautifully and plays with a variety of colors. This surface has a soft, not pronounced reflective effect, and allows you to create an aesthetic and sophisticated design.

Two-level white and turquoise ceilings

Turquoise covering the entire ceiling may seem like too bold a decision and it is not always appropriate. In such cases, it is better to “dilute” the main color with white. The room becomes brighter and more spacious. Separate zones with their own purpose appear in it. In addition, you can build in lighting or hide communications without lowering the entire ceiling.

Two-tier structures are made in two ways. For the first, a box of plasterboard is erected, and the canvas is stretched above. This creates a combined option. But the lower tier of gypsum plasterboard takes a relatively long time to install. After all, the surface needs to be leveled and painted, and after each stage, wait for it to dry.

Shades of purple

Basic shades of purple:

• Dark purple.
• Light colors (lilac, violet, lavender).
• Eggplant.
• Lilac.

What does the color lilac represent?

Lilac color is romantic and mysterious at the same time. It has many shades between pink and blue. Is there a line between lilac and violet? It may be invisible, but such a line exists. Purple color is more saturated and dark, it is composed of red and blue. Lilac is a light shade and is a mixture of pink and blue.

Healers who lived in ancient times noticed that the color of fragrant lilac brings peace to a person’s state of mind, helps to get rid of worries, anxieties and fears.

What walls will go with a purple ceiling?

A competent combination of colors of walls and ceiling will help create a graceful, elegant and very stylish interior.

The influence of color on the human psyche

Purple is not the easiest color, not only in terms of compatibility with other colors.
But also in matters of impact on the human psyche. According to experts, a room with purple ceilings or walls can have different effects on us. For some, the abundance of such a bright and saturated color makes it difficult - it is believed that purple can cause a feeling of dead end and hopelessness. Others, under its influence, relax and rest. Still others, on the contrary, become more concentrated.

It's all about the shades. Thus, it is believed that a thick and dirty, seemingly gloomy purple color can really be depressing. But dark, rich, deep violet looks presentable, beautiful, and pleasing to the eye.

In any case, among tension materials there is now such a choice of light and dark shades that you can select any nuance from a rich palette and play with it with additional colors. We will tell you how to do this below.

Ceiling Design Ideas

Thanks to the interesting design, you can transform any interior.

Two-level

Ceiling structures consisting of two levels or multi-level models allow you to change the perception of space, visually divide the room into zones or create unusual experiments with lighting.

With photo printing

Stretch purple products with photo printing perfectly emphasize the character of the interior and give it a stylish, special and extraordinary look.

Drawings and patterns

Various patterns in the form of flowers, plants or intertwining ornaments bring liveliness and mood to the room and perfectly support its style. With the help of such a design technique, you can not only radically transform the space and add a touch of novelty to it, but also create a bright accent on the ceiling space and visually change its geometry.

Modern types of contour lighting or perimeter lighting allow you to further highlight the ceiling, give it uniqueness or completely change its appearance.

Purple-white

Thanks to this combination, you can get a contrasting and bright or deep and rich design that will add emotionality to the interior.

How many levels will we make?

If you have a small and low room, don’t even think about making complex ceilings. A flat, single-level one is quite sufficient. And the visual center in such a room will be the color of the ceiling itself, its saturation.

If the room is more spacious and allows you to implement more daring design ideas, you can consider installing two-level structures or multi-level models in different planes. In addition to the fact that such a ceiling looks rich and presentable, it can also visually change the room, changing the geometry of the entire space. However, the lilac or purple insert is located in the center, like the first level. The second level can be a contrasting or light canvas located along the perimeter of the walls.

Design nuances

When decorating a stretch ceiling in lilac colors, it is important to consider the following points:

• this solution will visually expand the space in the room;
• when selecting a glossy surface, the space increases slightly, light is reflected, which visually expands the ceiling;
• structures of one tier, as a rule, are designed in a single color; here it is important to take into account the placement of lamps;
• for color solutions, coating and photo printing are suitable, it looks unusual and interesting;
• When using lighting in niches, you can achieve an extraordinary play of light.

As for multi-tiered structures, this is an excellent solution for spacious rooms with high ceilings. These ceilings help to zone the space. The use of different tones on different tiers is an idea for an unusual and stylish design. When choosing a stepped ceiling, it is important to take into account the requirement: the upper tier should have a light shade, and the lower one should be darker. In this regard, a gradient ceiling with smooth transitions of tones looks interesting.

Which wallpaper should you choose?

A room whose decoration is dominated by a lilac shade cannot be invisible. However, we should not forget that design ideas must organically interact with each other. An important condition is the correct choice of wallpaper. For a lilac ceiling, it is better to choose shades of wallpaper in nude or pastel colors. Contrasting colors will also look good.
