The right choice of ceiling can significantly affect the look of the interior, making it harmonious and stylish. But how do you choose a ceiling that fits your apartment perfectly?
Plasterboard ceilings
Plasterboard ceilings are ideal for creating multi-level structures. They will help to hide the imperfections of the base surface, install spotlights, or conduct communications.
This option is often used in living rooms or bedrooms where a cozy atmosphere is important. The design can be laconic or complex, depending on the style of the apartment.
But remember: in apartments with low ceilings, drywall can "steal" some of the height. Therefore, choose this option only for rooms with sufficiently high ceilings.
Wooden ceilings
Wooden ceilings create a warm and cozy atmosphere, especially in country or eco-style apartments. They can be made of wooden panels, beams, or veneers, depending on the budget and the desired effect. The natural color of wood is in perfect harmony with warm shades of walls and textiles.
However, in apartments with high humidity, wooden ceilings need additional protection. They are well suited for spacious rooms because they add expressiveness to them. Wood always looks stylish and adds a touch of luxury to the interior."

Stretch ceilings
Stretch ceilings have become a popular choice due to their aesthetics and quick installation. They can be matte, glossy, or with photo printing, which allows you to adapt them to any interior. Glossy versions are perfect for small rooms, as they visually enlarge the space.
At the same time, matte models add restraint and elegance to the interior. Stretch ceilings are also resistant to moisture, so they are often installed in bathrooms and kitchens. It is a versatile solution that can be easily combined with modern styles.
Cassette and slatted ceilings
Cassette and slatted ceilings are most often used in modern interiors, such as lofts or high-tech. They have a modular design that allows you to create various geometric patterns. Metal or plastic slats add modernity and technical precision to the interior.
This option is especially suitable for kitchens and bathrooms due to its resistance to moisture and easy maintenance. Cassette ceilings can also be combined with lighting to make the room brighter. They will be a highlight for those who are looking for unusual solutions.

Classic painted ceilings
Painted ceilings are a simple but elegant way to decorate a space. They are well suited for classic interiors or minimalist apartments. It is important to choose the right color: white will emphasize simplicity, and pastel shades will add softness to the room.
If the room is low, use light colors to visually raise the ceiling. Painted ceilings are also easy to update, making them a durable option. This type of ceiling will perfectly fit into any interior if the emphasis is on the details.
Foam ceiling
Foam tiles are the perfect solution for a quick and inexpensive ceiling upgrade. They are available in a variety of designs, including wood and stucco imitation, which allows them to be adapted to any interior. The tiles are easy to install with glue, and no special tools or skills are required.
Such a ceiling well masks surface irregularities and can be painted in the desired color. However, it is better to use this option in rooms with low humidity, as the foam can lose its properties in a humid environment. For rooms such as bedrooms or children's rooms, this is a great budget choice.
