Let's talk about the design of the ceiling in the kitchen using drywall, which is considered to be one of the most affordable easy-to-use materials.

The kitchen is a very capricious room. It smells, humidity, temperature is constantly changing. In this part of the apartment, as a rule, communications, appliances with wires, a lot of lighting devices for different zones are concentrated. The material for the ceiling should perfectly cope with the features of the power room and help to visually hide all the excess and give aesthetics. Ventilation is important for the dining room.GCR * is an eco-friendly, breathing material, which does not form mold with fungus, and smells are absorbed.

Advantages and disadvantages of drywall

The main advantages of GCR:

  1. Fast, easy and inexpensive. This is a versatile and picky material that is easy to work with, assemble and can be finished with a ceiling in a week. Regarding other finishing materials, drywall is affordable, and the result of the work will look expensive, modern and unusual.

The main disadvantages of GCR:

  • Loss of centimeters The more you choose the levels of the gypsum ceiling, the more he will eat, see On average, one level takes 10 cm of height.
  • For the construction of the ceiling of gypsum requires skill and may need to hire workers (in particular, this applies to ceilings of more than one level).

Summing up the “pluses” and “minuses” of the plasterboard ceiling in the kitchen, we see a clear superiority of positive aspects. Having established our position, we boldly proceed to the embodiment of the plan. Let's start with the premises.

How the kitchen area affects the appearance of the ceiling

Before proceeding to the design of the ceiling, you need to assess the scale of the site to work.

A small kitchen in size and height can be visually increased. Light shades, extra bright lamps and a single-level ceiling will help with this: the color and light will illusory make the room larger, and one level will minimally take centimeters of height.

If the kitchen is large in size, but its height is minimal, the multi-level ceiling also does not work, but you can experiment with the colors of the room.

Having very high walls, multi-level gypsum ceiling will make the space more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. To close the ventilation pipe, you can think about the version with the box. It will look much more aesthetic than the pipe itself.

For a living room combined with a kitchen, the separation of zones with an elaborate design is perfect. For example, to construct a ceiling flowing into a partition or arch. This option looks great in the large kitchen: you can separate the work area from the dining area. A simpler option is the visual separation of zones with the help of lamps, colors, or various figure patterns from GCR.

Decide how to visually improve your living room with the ceiling, and start designing the ceiling.

Ceiling levels and their features

Single level

The ceiling of the same level will suit all types of kitchens and it is quite possible to handle the installation on your own without the help of specialists. For fans of the classic look, it is possible to plaster and paint the ceiling of their plasterboard. The result will be a standard look while preserving the advantages of this material.

Designers advise for small rooms to choose a glossy paint of a light shade to visually increase the area. It is important to take into account the style of the room as a whole and, in harmony with the furniture, select the desired color.

For those who want to create something unusual,but there is a low ceiling and small “squares” - colors, designs and lamps will come to the rescue. One of the great ways to become a kitchen zoning. Lightening the place where there is a dining table, or the middle of the kitchen, is popular. With this emphasis, you can darken the working areas. Also, bright areas can be made with the help of light: several bright lamps can be mounted over the desired area, the rest of the light can be dispersed in the working areas as needed.

Individuality and uniqueness of the kitchen room will give a picture made on plasterboard. A unique design will transform the kitchen, help to highlight the interior and set the necessary priorities.

Two-level

Two levels GKL help you can build a very spectacular ceiling. Walls below 2.5 meters in height are not suitable for such a construction, because the building will take about 15 centimeters.

A well-thought-out arrangement and combinations of heights will make the kitchen room more voluminous and allow a large number of interior tasks. Most often, the high parts of the ceiling are placed in the center of the room or in the work area.

Gypsum ceiling easily takes any form.Usually combine oval and rectangular elements. It is interesting to look at such figures as the snake and the spiral. Your imagination is boundless here.

Excellent look combinations of drywall with other types of material. Most often plasterboards are combined with suspended ceilings, wood and plywood.

Especially wonderful will be variations with light. In two-level ceilings you can mount any lamps. Requires competent zoning of space. One of the generally accepted combinations of the location of light sources on two levels is this: the main lights are installed in the center of the room, and neon and LED lamps are placed at the edges.

Another version of the light distribution is as follows: some areas are illuminated with bright lamps (for example, a table for dinner, a bar counter, paintings), and other areas are illuminated with a slightly dim light.

The combinations of colors, glossy and matte color, accents with a pattern look impressive. Do not forget that now bold decisions and previously inconceivable color combinations are in fashion.

Layered

From three levels and more, the ceiling is considered multi-level. If you own an apartment with a ceiling height of three meters, then several levels of the ceiling will be an excellent interior design. This option is the most decorated.The game of lines, colors, light and textures will transform the kitchen and make it the most enchanting room, where you want to hold receptions and organize notable dinners.

When the height of the kitchen is more than four meters and the area is small at that, the whole room looks awkward. Decorated ceiling in several levels will perpetuate the room and make it much more comfortable.

Ceilings for living room with kitchen

Kitchen and living room - the most visited rooms in the apartment and house. In the combined premises receive guests and arrange various events. Therefore, it is important to make these zones beautiful, solemn and cozy.

The most attractive option is to build a wall that will smoothly flow out of the ceiling, or a shaped arch. The wall can be patterned, with windows and curtains, it can be decorated with a gallery of paintings. For the arch, you can choose fancy shapes that emphasize the overall style. Do not forget that the classics are very harmoniously and unusually combined with modern. The area with a large dining table will highlight bright lights. The recreation area can be made darker - this will further relax after a hearty dinner for households and invited guests.Generally, this amount of space gives free rein to the imagination. The main thing is to think thoroughly and act boldly.

Suspension

Usually, the suspended ceiling is used for zone separation, and thus emphasizes the overall style of the room.

The gypsum board is installed through the suspension system provided by the method: a structure consisting of metal elements is attached to the existing ceiling, then the material itself is mounted on them.

The main advantage of this mounting method is the independent adjustment of the ceiling height. This will hide everything that spoils the view of the kitchen, and with this design there will be enough space for installing different types of lamps.

Sewing

This type of fasteners is cheaper, other and more reliable suspension. The disadvantage is a smaller number of options for decorating. But the main advantage will remain: the ceiling will easily hide irregularities, defects and plaster.

The ceiling is fixed, mainly on a metal frame. Less often on wooden slats, which are more weighty and more difficult to mount them. Sometimes, based on the decorative idea, the methods of mounting the ceiling of the plasterboard are combined.

As they say, the kitchen is the face of every housewife. A beautifully made kitchen is a compliment from the head of the family. After all, the breadwinners of the family spend so much time in this room. Aesthetic appearance of the room will make this pastime much more pleasant. All cozy kitchens and beautiful gypsum ceilings.
