Surely everyone knows that any apartment begins with the corridor (hallway), because it is when looking at this premises that the guests form an opinion about the entire apartment as a whole. Therefore, today the question of how to make the ceiling in the corridor is extremely relevant and popular.
To date, there are several main options for finishing the ceiling in the corridor – whitewashing or painting, wallpaper, drywall design, stretch ceilings, bellows and tiles. Consider in more detail each of the above options.
The simplest and most budgetary option for finishing the ceiling in the hallway is the usual whitewashing with subsequent painting with special water -based paint. But if you decide to stop precisely on this option, then keep in mind that the painting will look bad on a not too flat surface, which is especially emphasized by insufficient lighting. Therefore, painting will look good only if the surface of the ceiling is perfectly flat.
Also, budget options include the ceiling pasted with wallpaper. Of the advantages of this option, it should be mentioned by its undoubted cheapness, as well as a variety of color shades. But the disadvantages belong – short -lived (wallpaper under the influence of artificial bright light quickly fades/fades) and a low degree of moisture resistance. So the decoration option should be chosen only if you need cosmetic repairs for several years.
A very popular material for finishing the ceiling in the corridor is polystyrene foam or PVC tiles. Such tiles are quickly glued (even faster than wallpaper), it differs with light weight and is very resistant to temperature differences. In addition, the design of such tiles is diverse, thanks to all kinds of drawings, relief patterns and wide colors.
Recently, multi -level (including suspended on a metal frame) ceilings made of drywall have been widely used in corridors. Plaincarto structures with “dividers” – different heights, color combinations, backlight, embossed patterns and arched elements look especially attractive. However, this option has a significant minus – drywall “captures” more than the volume of the room than the same wallpaper or whitewashing, so the corridor may seem lower and lower. Accordingly, for an apartment with a low height of the premises, this option is not the most suitable.
