Lighting in the interior of the bedroom, options for the attic, small and large rooms, design and examples of spot lighting

Choosing the right lighting for a bedroom with a stretch ceiling is not an easy task. In search of the optimal solution, you will surely face a large number of questions: what and how many lamps should be, what fasteners are suitable for the PVC film, the power of the bulbs, etc.

There is no need for very bright lighting in the bedroom. You can dream up and come up with original options with many dim bulbs. To create the effect of light in certain places, several of its point sources are masked behind curtains, directing light rays towards the ceiling. If the film on it has a gloss, then it will reflect the rays of light and provide additional lighting.

To sort it out and find the best way lighting for the bedroom, consider what characteristics this room has.

Low ceiling bedroom lighting

If the ceiling is low in the bedroom, you can visually raise it with the help of lighting. To this end, arrange a line of illumination installed around the entire perimeter of the room. A similar effect will be produced by directing spotlights to the ceiling surface. And if, on the contrary, to direct the rays of light to the walls, and leave the ceiling unlit, then this will lead to a visual decrease in its height. In general, with the help of built-in compact lamps, any detail of the interior can be distinguished.

In addition to increasing the height, the owners of compact bedrooms dream of visually expanding the volume of their premises. Bright lamps and chandeliers, as well as reflective surfaces, contribute to this effect. If stretch ceiling covered with a glossy film, it will reflect the incident light and thereby increase the space.

To lengthen the bedroom, you can position the lights along the room. A narrow room bright lighting located above a long wall will help visually expand.

There are a number of other good solutions for bedrooms with low ceilings:

1. Some are afraid to hang a chandelier on low stretch ceilings due to the fact that they are afraid of melting a thin film of the ceiling covering by the heat from several bulbs. This is possible if you buy and hang the first chandelier you like, so you should be especially careful in choosing it.
2. If lighting in a bedroom with stretch ceilings is supposed to be carried out with incandescent lamps, then the distance from them to the ceiling surface should not be less than 30 cm. At this distance, heat dissipates and does not damage the film. Still, it is better to give preference to LED or energy-saving lamps.
3. As a central light source in a bedroom with a false ceiling, a plafond in the shape of a plate or a multi-track chandelier is suitable. Remember to leave a gap between the lamp and the ceiling. The dish-shaped luminaire should be equipped with energy saving or LED bulbs due to the fact that it is located too close to the ceiling surface.

High ceiling bedroom lighting

If your bedroom has a high ceiling, then you can expand the circle possible options lighting. For example, a suspended chandelier is as safe as possible for a stretch ceiling covered with PVC film. All that remains is to match it to the bedroom design.

What lamps are better to choose

Given the delicate texture of the film on the surface of the stretch ceiling, the type of lamps plays an important role, therefore, their choice should be approached with all responsibility. Lamps are of the following types:

• incandescent lamps - their use in this case is not desirable, since they get very hot, consume a lot of electricity, but at the same time have low performance;
• halogen lamps are characterized by better performance than the previous version, but they also heat up strongly;
• the energy-saving option has a long service life and does not heat up, but they are afraid of moisture and are more expensive;
• LED bulbs are very productive and durable, but their weak point is a power box that sometimes breaks.

Common types of stretch ceiling lighting

Starry sky

Modern technologies have made it possible to reproduce an analogue of the starry sky on a stretch ceiling. Just keep in mind that if you want to decorate the lighting in the bedroom with stretch ceilings in this way, then this must be done before installing the stretch structure. It is created as follows: a perforated canvas is installed, to which the light sources are connected; below is the film onto which the image is projected.

Another option is also used, in which the installation of optical fiber is performed. Then you can make special attachments of glass or crystal and attach optical fibers to them. The light source is a light generator, and the lighting is controlled by an LED controller. Most often, an image is applied to a PVC film of a stretch ceiling using photo printing. Then during the day on the ceiling you can see clouds, sea, forest or other landscapes chosen by the owner.

If you install a laser projector, then with the help of it you can reproduce gorgeous natural effects: the northern lights, a flying comet, a star explosion, and others. All this equipment ends up being expensive, but if you are on a budget, you can design a cheaper option. On the PVC film, dots or blots of different sizes are drawn with luminescent paint, during the day they are not visible, and with the onset of darkness, stars will light up on the ceiling.

The backlight installed along the ceiling not only makes it taller, but also does not tire the eyes. With this kind of lighting, it is quite comfortable to watch TV or work at a computer. It is done as follows: along the entire length of the backlight, a box is mounted to place the hidden backlight in it. The film is stretched and attached to the frame. Sometimes a special cornice is attached by installing a hidden backlight in it.

Chandelier

With sufficient ceiling height, the traditional lighting in a bedroom with stretch ceilings is a chandelier. Mount it to the ceiling surface as follows:

• a reinforcing ring is glued to the canvas;
• the film is cut to the inner diameter;
• wires are drawn into the hole and a chandelier is connected;
• a special hook is mounted to the base of the ceiling;
• the lamp is hung on a hook;
• the wires are hidden inside and covered with a decorative overlay.

For a bedroom, a cozy chandelier with matte shades or a fabric shade, which will not give too bright diffused light, is best suited.

Spotlights built into the base

The most practical and compact lighting option is built-in spotlights. On sale there is a wide variety of forms of such lighting devices: in the form of a cube, a ball, and others. There are also lamps with a variety of decorative designs. This type of spotlight has a number of advantages:

• low cost;
• ease of installation;
• beautiful appearance.

Their main disadvantage is the fact that they often burn out, and they have to be changed regularly. This problem can be solved by installing a voltage stabilizer, or buying lamps with a capacity of up to 12 V. Basically, such spotlights are used as additional lighting in the bedroom. With the help of spotlights, individual corners or areas of the bedroom are often distinguished.

Bedroom zoning techniques using lighting

Recently, it has become very fashionable to use a technique in which the bedroom is divided into zones with the help of local lighting devices. At the same time, light areas are made in active places: near bedside tables, in the area of ​​\ u200b \ u200bthe closet and dressing table... The following are used as sources of local lighting in the bedroom:

• floor lamps;
• desk lamp;
• built-in spotlights.

These lighting elements are enough to read, watch TV or wash off makeup. But for cleaning and other more active activities, you need a bright light. This role can be given to a central chandelier or a complex built into a stretch ceiling, spotlights... Then, when entering the bedroom, you can limit yourself to any one source of light.

Luminaire colors

In the process of selecting the correct bedroom lighting option, one should not forget about the color of the lamps. It also plays an important role in setting up the atmosphere and creating the psycho-emotional background of the room. For example, red will produce an activating effect, orange will stimulate, and purple will create a suppressive and depressing effect. Green color will cause a slight tonic effect, improve mood and tune in to positive. Blue, with prolonged exposure, can have a crushing effect and a feeling of coldness. One of the most suitable for the bedroom is considered yellow, it promotes a good and even emotional state.

Of course, in addition to the psychological component, it is important that the lamps fit into the general style of the bedroom interior and match in color with furniture, curtains, wallpaper, bedspreads and other elements of the room.

The bedroom is a multifunctional space. It is a place for relaxation, love and transformation. For some people, the bedroom has even more functions. All this suggests that the lighting in the bedroom should be just as varied. Fortunately, modern technologies make it possible to implement any configuration regarding lighting for stretch ceilings.

Light in the bedroom on a stretch ceiling

People spend at least 40% of their entire lives in the bedroom. Therefore, it is very important that all the details of this room are beautiful, comfortable and pleasing to the eye. Thanks to the lighting, we can play with the room, highlighting one or the other zone, changing the intensity and even the shade of the light.

Consider what zones can be highlighted in a bedroom with a stretch ceiling:

• Sleeping area. G The main item for the bedroom is, of course, the bed. Its illumination is very important. Traditional bedside lamps can be replaced with spotlights above the bed, which are adjustable in intensity and do not take up space on the bedside table.
• Wardrobe. Separate lighting is required near the closet or inside the dressing area. After all, it is very important to correctly assess your appearance, so that with a merciless sunlight there were no surprises in the form of pellets on clothes or barely noticeable stains.
• Dressing table. Make-up for a woman is a second person. It should be applied in bright light of the correct shade, which would mimic natural light as closely as possible. Positioning the dressing table by the window is not a solution to the problem, even if the sun hits your bedroom all day long! After all, direct sunlight blinds the eyes, and the light from the side gives a shadow on the face, which also interferes with makeup. Several spots on the ceiling and near the mirror will provide even illumination, in which you can create the perfect make-up!
• Desktop. Whatever type of work you are fond of, you will need light for sewing, for working at a computer, and for solving a crossword puzzle. It is not necessary to clutter the table with a separate lamp. Stand-alone spotlight control will allow you to illuminate your activities, saving energy and not disturbing others.

By using spot lighting you can autonomously highlight any desired area for beauty and convenience!

Stretch ceiling in the bedroom with spotlights: location methods

The light in the bedroom should be varied and soft. This is most easily achieved by using spotlights. But the wrong arrangement of the lamps can give a distorted light distribution, which will have a very bad effect on the design of the bedroom.

How to position the lights to make your bedroom light look perfect:

1. Do not place the spotlight closer than 20 cm from the wall.
2. The chandelier should hang strictly in the center, and lamps should already be located around it.
3. An important point regarding the seam of the PVC film. It is necessary to remove the lamps from it at least 15 cm.
4. Each spotlight should illuminate about one and a half square meters of space.
5. If your spotlights are arranged in a row or in a circle, or in some other organized sequence, then ensure that they are equidistant from the walls and from each other.
6. Spotlights do not have to be symmetrically positioned. You can highlight the desired area in a semicircle or in a straight line.

Whatever fantasies you visit about the location of the lamps, be guided first of all by the rules regarding the location of spotlights.

Ceiling lighting creates an unrivaled floating ceiling effect. This effect visually expands the boundaries of the room, making it light, airy and very beautiful.

There are several ways to make a soaring ceiling:

• The LED strip, located in a special section of the profile for soaring ceilings, will create the desired effect. The entire ceiling will seem to be separated from the walls by a bright line of light, the shade of which you can choose yourself and even change it according to your mood.

Installation of lamps in a stretch ceiling (video)

Make the lighting in your bedroom amazing, and you will want to return to this room every day to get a comfortable rest and spend time with your family and friends in the warmest and most charming environment, and soft light will help create an atmosphere of comfort and lightness.

Everyone likes a beautiful ceiling, and in the bedroom this is the first thing that a waking person sees with the beginning of a new day. But, no matter how carefully it is plastered, stains and small cracks will still be visible. Only a stretch ceiling in the bedroom will help to achieve a perfectly smooth surface, unlike other materials. Read about the varieties and nuances of choosing stretch canvases for the bedroom in today's material.

Which is better - glossy, satin or matte

Regardless of the type, stretch ceilings have almost the same performance characteristics. Both matte and glossy and satin:

• Reliable;
• Harmless;
• No labor-consuming installation;
• Easy to maintain.

That's why the most important selection criterion is the harmonious design of the bedroom with stretch ceilings.

Glossy option

Ceilings of this type are also called lacquered ceilings. This "nickname" indicates that the surface tends to reflect objects.

Expressed in numbers, the surface reflection coefficient can reach 90% (for comparison, a mirror has 75-90%). Thanks to this property, glossy canvases can visually increase the space.

If a small room needs to be made more voluminous, the glossy version will come in handy. One of its design functions is to "stretch" the room.

The same technique will help create the missing ceiling height. In this case, the canvas can be selected as a glossy color and mirror.

In terms of cost, the average price per square of a glossy stretch ceiling is about 420-660 rubles, if we are talking about a plain canvas. Samples with photo printing will cost you a little more - 2,000 rubles per square.

Matte coating

If your bedroom doesn't need any space adjustments, I recommend installing a matte ceiling that resembles a classic in texture, but perfectly flat compared to traditional whitewashed ceilings.

This type of surface does not have a reflective effect. This explains the fact that such a ceiling mutes the light and bright, and neutralizes excessive reflections.

I recommend this option to all those who value comfort and softness. For these purposes, I recommend paying attention to dark or strict shades, it is with their help that you will create an atmosphere of relaxation and tranquility.

If you are attracted by the velvety surface of the stretch fabric, but you are not enthusiastic about white, order photo printing of an ornament or drawing. You can prepare a sketch with your own hands. This custom-made pattern will give your bedroom a touch of personality.

With a relative nondescriptness, matte ceilings can hide the imperfections of the room, but, at the same time, accentuate the main advantages of the interior. For example, a narrow bedroom with high walls can be brought closer to its ideal shape by installing a tension structure.

A significant point - matte ceilings are the most inexpensive. Their price is for square meter ranges from 390 to 580 rubles.

Satin version

The satin ceiling combines all the advantages of a glossy and matte canvas. At first glance, this is a perfectly smooth surface, strongly reminiscent of matte, but which looks more interesting. And most importantly, not everyone immediately notices the catch.

Just like gloss, satin surfaces are capable of reflecting light without creating noticeable glare. Thanks to the combination of impeccable smoothness and shine, the design of the bedroom with stretch ceilings is moderately modest and harmonious.

The nature of the satin canvas is directly related to the kind of lighting in the bedroom with a stretch ceiling. In daylight, a satin ceiling is indistinguishable from a fabric one. A artificial sources lights emphasize its resemblance to glossy.

The price of the issue is in the range of 400-600 rubles per square meter. Plus, add 2,000 rubles for each square of applied photo printing, if any, to this.

What color of the ceiling to choose

The color of the ceiling can radically affect your mood, in particular, and your well-being in general. Therefore, carefully analyze all the details before choosing a shade for a tensile structure.

Green can live in your bedroom in any shade - dark or light, warm or cold. The result will delight you in any case. Combinations with white, yellow or beige around the perimeter are also acceptable.

Blue is perfect for bedrooms with white, beige, blue, or light gray walls. If you add a few details in the same shade of blue, the room will have a finished look.

A completely beige ceiling will fit perfectly into classic interior... And for more modern styles, bright red, purple and black inserts are suitable.

Dark tones look very impressive, both in matte and glossy versions. The glossy surface reflects light and, as a result, the color shimmers. The matte canvas, on the other hand, looks rich.

In order not to overdo it with dark color, think over the color of the walls and furniture, the location of the lamps. The result depends on the balanced action of all components.

If you have trouble falling asleep, the design of stretch ceilings in the bedroom in purple shades is definitely recommended for you. These shades can be used alone, in combination with each other, and also in combination with white or beige in the case of two-level tension structures.

Yellow itself is very bright and not quite suitable for a bedroom. But if you build a two-tiered or multi-tiered structure, where white or cream will be present, then yellow will be appropriate.

Red is perfect for energetic people, for whom the bedroom is not only a place to sleep and relax. In order to avoid satiety with this color, feel free to dilute it with white or white and black.

Many people avoid white stretch ceilings, arguing that it is boring. However, with the right placement of bright accents, the white ceiling looks appropriate and elegant.

Features of stretch ceiling lighting

Correctly selected lighting in the bedroom is the key to a functional and harmonious interior. In this regard, the stretch ceiling differs from the usual one in that it will be difficult or almost impossible to attach or hold something to it after its installation. Therefore, the location of the lamps - basic and additional, it is important to think over at the stage of planning the bedroom.

Not all luminaires are suitable for tensile structures. The main point is the way in which the light source is attached. In addition, the shape of the plafond and light bulbs matters.

Main selection criteria

In search of the ideal lighting for a stretch structure, you should take into account some rules that will help with the choice of a chandelier in the bedroom to the stretch ceiling and, at the same time, prevent the occurrence of dangerous situations when the canvas may be damaged.

• The backlight installed along the contour visually increases the height of the walls, and the longitudinal placement of spotlights lengthens the room.

• Due to the fact that the glossy ceiling is translucent, complex illumination structures can be built using fluorescent lamps or LED strips.

• Stretch canvases, especially glossy ones, can suffer from intense heat, so choose an energy-efficient or LED lamp... The maximum permissible power for incandescent lamps is 60 W, for halogen lamps - 35 W.

• Be sure to consider the distance at which the light sources will be located from each other. The heat generated by the lamps can deform the film, and areas of excessive heat can darken. Therefore, place the luminaires at least 25 cm apart.

• The Starry Sky System is a sure-fire way to create a more intimate atmosphere in the bedroom. Take note of this option if you have not provided an outlet or bedside table under the nightlight. Instructions for performing the installation of the "starry sky" have already been given by me in one of the previous articles. Do it yourself and enjoy the night sky from the comfort of your apartment.

Whichever option you choose, you should take into account the characteristics of your bedroom - parameters, availability of sources natural light, location, etc. After all, built-in appliances are not suitable for all interiors. Other bedrooms, on the other hand, will look complete only with a combination of several lighting methods.
