Stretch ceiling design using spotlights in the hallway

Most apartments begin with a long corridor adjacent to a small space at the front door, designed in the form of an entrance hall. The first thing that guests of the apartment pay attention to is a beautiful interior. Far from the last role in perception is played by the stretch ceiling in the photo corridor with spotlights. It is not easy to choose the design of the top, in harmony with the walls and floor, furniture and doors. Therefore, it is important to know the basic design options and combination methods.

The stretch ceiling in the corridor looks very stylish and sets the tone for this room.

The best examples of stretch ceiling design using spotlights in the hallway

Khrushchev repair is often associated with the search for modern solutions. Along the way, we have to solve other problems - the visual expansion of space and masking defects. Much attention is paid to the comfort of a room without windows, which affects well-chosen lighting in the hallway with stretch ceilings.

It is not only aesthetic, but also a very practical element of decor, which is especially appropriate for the hallway.

In Russia, a PVC film web has been used not so long ago. Users managed to appreciate the spectacular design with a similar design. Although a special type of fastening, knowledge of the technologist and an installation tool is proposed, repairs are relatively inexpensive.

It is difficult to find an alternative to a smooth surface with diode illumination in a long corridor when alignment is required. Many city apartments do not differ in the convenience and quality of construction work. Often noticeable differences in the height of the walls and joints of ceiling panels.

The first thing we get to know when entering a house or apartment is a corridor.

Defects are easy to hide behind stretch sheets, due to their features:

• mounting method, where there is some air space between the film and the plates;
• the frame for the stretch ceiling is installed just below the level of overlap, it is possible to align the height of the walls;
• the method of fixture mounting creates the illusion of a solid surface after heating the panel;
• multi-level designs give great design variability.

It is very important to organize and arrange this space so that it makes a positive impression on people coming to visit.

Experts have developed many ways to combine PVC film and original lighting to make the room presentable and cozy, as in the photo.

Design options for ceiling design

Today it is customary to turn to designers when modernizing old-fashioned housing. Small companies and teams specializing in stretch fabrics have good design experience. They quickly evaluate the format of the room for the installation of suspended ceilings in the corridor with spotlights - photos are offered in the portfolio.

Stretch ceilings appeared in Russia relatively recently, but at the same time immediately gained high popularity.

Often the top determines the design style, which is correlated with the dimensions of a small hallway. In choosing this design method there is a plus - a solid canvas without soldering. Most often, such constructive models are used.

1. Single-level stretch web with glossy or matte effect. Easy installation, it looks elegant, there is the possibility of using "soaring" structures with illumination around the perimeter.
2. The two-level option involves a combination of polyvinyl chloride panels and drywall framing, which is used for the original lighting. Such a design transforms a cramped corridor beyond recognition. This is the best way to visually increase the space, especially in combination with mirrors.
3. Multilevel structures are used on large areas. This is a great opportunity to modernize a wide corridor or long recreation in a duplex apartment or loft apartment.

Designers are working on such options to emphasize the individuality of the room.

Photos of the completed repair of ceilings confirm with illustrative examples that there are many ways to create a stylish interior in a special way.

It will look spectacular in a room of any format.

Next, it is worthwhile to consider in more detail examples of how such a design looks on materials with canvases with different types of light reflection.

Matte Ceiling Examples

Most people are accustomed to surfaces with minimal reflection, which are called "matte". This has its own advantage - the absence of glare from the lamps and sunlight. The surface looks noble and concise, acceptable for any lighting fixtures:

• point diodes;
• classical duets - a combination of a ceiling chandelier and wall sconces;
• modern design - a combination of directional spots and a diffusing diode strip.

Due to the perfectly even texture, which has no glare, stretch matte models look very neat.

The matte canvas also does not have the ability to reflect hall objects. This is convenient with a contrasting color scheme, where the top should not attract attention.

Such canvases fit perfectly into any interior of the hallway.

In glossy finish

This word is used to denote surfaces with a maximum light reflectance. Such material gives an almost mirror effect, visually "doubling" the volume of the corridor.

Transforms a room and visually expands its boundaries.

The tension structures in the “gloss” look harmoniously in a single color scheme, for example, beige, sand and or light brown rooms.

The glossy surface creates unusual glare and gives the corridor a bit of luxury and glamor.

In a small "patch" at the front door, where several corridors lead, the principle of zoning is often used, due to the combination of panels.

They reflect light well and make the corridor brighter.

With low ceilings in a rectangular hallway, gloss can be the only right solution, as in the example in the photo.

Using glossy coatings in bright colors, it is easier to make the aisles more spacious.

Ceilings with a pattern

Often, one width of the tension plate is not enough to cover wide slabs. Then use a welded PVC cloth. Usually the seam is almost invisible, but customers fear that the “details” will be noticeable.

Such ceilings can be made of both special film and fabric, while both fabric and film are used special.

This design feature is hidden in 3 ways:

• multi-level designs;
• a number of spot ceiling lights;
• canvas with a picture.

Such a ceiling does not suffer from either low temperatures or fire, which is especially relevant.

The design of the ceiling with a picture looks fresh and original. You can choose something with a finished pattern or order an exclusive printout on industrial equipment. The picture goes well with plain walls and diode lighting in combination with borders and frames.

They can be different not only in color, texture and size, but also in the number of levels.

The pattern is often chosen in the case when the ceiling is an accent detail of the interior of a long recreation.

Other ceiling options

One-color and two-color stretch ceilings are considered to be “classics,” regardless of the functionality of the premises. Depending on the design decision, you can arrange ceiling structures of any color.

Many varieties of suspended ceilings installed in the corridor and other rooms are quite popular today.

White matte canvas is the easiest way to distract attention from the modest design of the hallway, hiding surface defects. If the top does not carry a semantic load in the design, choose this solution.

Laconic solid models transform the hallway and add notes of elegance to it.

Blue satin cloth gives the effect of an "open" ceiling. You can take a print with a picture of clouds or tree branches. Often this design is chosen for Japanese style - sakura branches and open sky.

The palette of tones is quite extensive, and each manufacturer of such a product has its own.

Red and lilac gloss - a female favorite, deep black like men. It does not look dark, looks like a black mirror or looks like a bottomless space.

Cold shades are best used to create a high and narrow stretch ceiling.

Attention! For fans of the space theme came up with black satin ceilings with small dotted diodes on the back. This is a true starry sky effect.

The peculiarity of the satin fabric - combines the advantages of a glossy and matte surface. It looks easy and elegant, organically perceived in any type of lighting.

Advantages and disadvantages of spotlights on stretch canvas

Recessed light sources are in harmony with the tension structures. There are difficulties with the installation and combination of lighting.

As the light sources themselves, either fluorescent or LED lamps are used.

The main advantages of diodes:

• characterized by low energy consumption;
• have a long service life without the need to replace lamps;
• do not blind when turned on;
• adaptation to modern and classic design;
• organically perceived when lighting corridors of any configuration;
• does not overheat the PVC coating;
• perfectly combined with other types of lighting.

LEDs have a long lifespan, conserve energy and are highly safe.

The disadvantage can be considered the complexity of installation, while the absolute horizontalness of the panel should be maintained. The canvas sags a little on harpoon hooks until the installation is completed, after processing with a hot stream it is compressed and stretched. It is impossible to guess the points where the fixtures or spots will be attached. Installation of spotlights on top of PVC requires experience and adherence to technology - it is better to entrust to professionals. The photo shows that upon completion of the repair everything looks perfect.

How to modernize a narrow corridor to the owners of the old Khrushchev? It is worth giving preference to ceilings with diode lighting.Many are accustomed to the classics, and lighting design with "stretch" raises questions. The modern solution is a diode strip, luminous chaos or a series of single points, depending on the design concept.

Not only the appearance of the ceiling itself, but also the overall perception of the living room as a whole will depend on properly selected lighting.

The main methods of mounting luminous points:

• under the film;
• on top of the PVC base.

The ability to change the color of lighting is an additional "bonus" when choosing in favor of diodes. A combination of tapes of different colors and white spotlights of multilevel designs is relevant.

Stylish, minimalistic and beautiful solution.

Soaring ceilings are especially loved by customers and designers. This is the original lighting around the perimeter (edge) of the structure, when the light comes out from under the canvas. The illusion that the plane is not fixed, but hovered in free flight.

Examples of ideal lighting for a stretch ceiling entryway

Tension coatings are the best way to modernize an apartment in an old-style house. The highlight of the design of the room at the front door is a thoughtful lighting design, as in the illustrated example.

When buying lighting devices, the design concept and the preferred gamut are taken into account. It is recommended to choose lamps with a cold (bluish) or warm (yellowish) spectrum.

The entrance itself looks taller and wider.

There are a lot of interesting variations on zoning combined with the hallway corridor. It is achieved by combining:

• different types of lighting;
• glossy and matte panels;
• contrasting color levels.

Not everyone is the happy owner of a spacious cottage or apartment. A multi-level ceiling of a complex configuration with lighting points of various types attracts the attention of everyone who crosses the threshold of a house. It is important to consider how this or that type of lighting will be combined with a glossy, satin and matte surface. The selection will help determine the selection of examples in the photo gallery.
