For a small living room, it is more appropriate to use a glossy surface, reflective properties will help to visually double the area of \u200b\u200bthe room.
Kitchen

A rack-type or painted ceiling will look good. For bright lighting, you can use an abundance of spotlights and LED strip along the kitchen unit.
Bedroom
In the bedroom, black creates an intimate and behind-the-scenes atmosphere. Do not use glossy surfaces, with them the room will lose its comfort. The design can be in several tiers or with a smooth transition from a dark to a lighter shade.

Types of ceiling

Stretch
One of the most common finishing options is a stretch ceiling. The canvas is stretched and fixed in the wall profile. Depending on the selected material, the surface can be glossy, matte or satin, the difference is in the visual effect and the width of the canvas.
- A glossy surface will visually increase the area of \u200b\u200bthe room due to the mirror effect.
- The matte material is non-reflective and creates a backstage atmosphere.
- The satin fabric has a silky surface, the light spreads softly over the surface. In addition, this method of finishing hides irregularities.
Painting
For this method of finishing, a flat surface is required. Painting is carried out in three stages: priming the surface, applying the first layer, applying the second layer. For even application, proper lighting is necessary, an energy-saving white lamp.
Suspension
It is made of two types: drywall and rack, it hides irregularities and allows you to create a multi-tiered complex structure. Drywall sheets are attached to the profile.
The rack type is assembled according to the mosaic principle, the rails are laid out in the wall profile. The rack type material can have any color and texture.
Wallpapering
Wallpaper is the simplest option for finishing. This also requires a flat surface. An interesting interior solution would be pasting with photo wallpapers, for example, with the image of the night sky.
Wood
Wood trim is suitable for country-style interior design, wood panels can be completely painted black or partially in the form of ceiling beams.
In the photo, the wooden ceiling looks harmoniously with the contrasting color of the walls.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Modern style does not impose strict rules and design requirements. This finish is a reflection of fashionable and stylish trends in interior design, which allow some deviations. However, there are a few mistakes that people often make during renovations. Interior designers do not recommend using the following ideas for designing ceilings in a modern style:
- do not finish the ceiling with plaster, this will create unnecessary shadows and give an uneven surface, in addition, such a ceiling will look out of date;
- do not use a tiled foam ceiling, it will look too out of date and boring;
- remember that square panels on the frame, made according to the Armstrong system, are not suitable for decorating a bedroom (you can use this idea in decorating a study or office);
- metal slatted ceilings are also not intended for decorating a bedroom; it is better to introduce them into a corridor or kitchen;
- you should not oversaturate the room with light - there will be enough basic basic lighting on the ceiling, which can be supplemented with bedside or wall lamps.

In what styles is black the key?
Most often, black can be found in the newfangled neo-baroque style, in which black interacts with the colors of precious metals, and the companions of the night color include: white, red, purple.Compact, smooth shapes, glossy glass, artificial gems, leather and silk - it looks very elegant and harmonizes with noble black.
Indifferent to black and its constant companion white, another type of room decoration is considered - modern minimalism. This style is characterized by the absence of surpluses, not only in furniture and interior decoration, but also by the limited use of the palette in the design of the black bedroom. And since white and black signify the absence of color, they are absolutely meant for contemporary minimalism.

Monochrome bedroom design
They call the interior of a room black and white, where about two-thirds of the surface is painted in these colors. Other shades are also used, but mainly as bright accents. On a white background, they will be filled with light, and on a black background, they will look saturated.
To create a unique monochrome bedroom design, the following rules will help:
choose a main color. The predominance of white ceilings, walls, and furniture will help to visually enlarge a small room. For a spacious bedroom with large windows, a black stretch ceiling with spot lighting imitating the starry sky is quite applicable;
fill the room with bright accents. The individuality of the owner is emphasized by figurines, paintings, framed photos on the wall.To create an intimate atmosphere will help the contrasting colors of bed linen, pillows, curtains;
use contrasting black and white prints on textiles
This is a stylish technique, but a sense of proportion is important here. Choose one thing so as not to overload the visual perception of the interior: curtains, bed covers or furniture upholstery;
soften the severity of the outline of the windows with light translucent curtains and complement them with thick dark curtains;
choose black decor elements of the same saturation, since the inconsistency of shades on a white background causes a feeling of dissonance;
dilute the black and white contrast with a third color of your choice: blue, turquoise, lilac, red, silver, gold, any beige shades;
equip the bedroom with several light sources on the ceiling and walls, and put a floor lamp in the corner.
Features of black stretch ceilings
It should be borne in mind that black is quite demanding. If you choose a glossy canvas, all the dust particles will be visible on it. In this regard, such ceilings are much more capricious than white ones.
In addition, it is necessary to carefully select the rest of the interior: only in the case of clothes, black goes with everything. It is also necessary to consider the choice of wall covering, floor; pick up furniture. Otherwise, you risk getting a gloomy room, devoid of style. Take a look at this photo.
Do not forget about the general trend of stretch ceilings - to hide the height of the walls. It is better to use a black canvas in spacious rooms - dark shades visually enhance this effect.
Disadvantages of a dark ceiling in the bedroom
Such an amazing and original solution as a dark-colored ceiling, in addition to numerous advantages, has its drawbacks. These include a decrease in the height of the walls, which can be minimized with the help of some design techniques. It is also necessary to correctly select combinations of interior items and decor, otherwise the bedroom will lose more in appearance than it will gain. Such ceilings are whimsical in care. You can wipe such ceilings with a damp cloth only using special products for each type of finish. A dark ceiling gets dirty much faster than a similar light one, so it needs to be cleaned more often. Pollution on a dark ceiling is very noticeable.
Such ceilings, of course, create the effect of reducing the space or height of the walls, but if you apply a glossy film, then the consequences of the negative effect will disappear. In the bedroom, you can place spotlights or lamps with shades closed at the top. It is also possible to use luminaires directed by the open part away from the ceiling surface. Increasing the number of lighting fixtures will help visually make the bedroom space larger.
Dark ceilings are a unique opportunity to make the interior of your bedroom cozy and comfortable, as well as original and attractive. If you have any difficulties with the placement of lighting fixtures or the selection of furniture elements, you can always seek help from specialists.
How to play with black and white bedroom design
The predominance of black enhances the intimacy of the design of the room. Complement the romantic atmosphere with decorative elements: figurines, paintings, stucco molding in the appropriate style. At the same time, a dark bedroom is an ideal place to relax and unwind.

- blue-black;
- with bright white patches;
- dark chocolate.
Only the design that is designed taking into account the age, gender, character of a person gives real pleasure. A little girl definitely needs a bright, cozy room.

Wall, floor and ceiling decoration
Initially set the direction of your imagination by choosing the color of the ceiling. A dreamy girl will love the starry sky - a stretch ceiling made of black matte film with LED spotlights. A light floor and white walls will help compensate for the lack of illumination. Placed against such a background, black furniture will seem to soar in weightlessness.
The ceiling, decorated in white, allows you to get more freedom when choosing finishing materials:
- from drywall, you can make several levels with a hidden placement of lighting fixtures;
- stucco will emphasize the aristocratic style of the interior;
- matte or glossy stretch ceiling will visually fill the room with air;
- perfectly evenly plastered and high-quality painted surfaces are still in fashion;
- wallpapering on the ceiling - the ability to choose a stylish pattern.
The dominance of black in the color of the walls visually reduces the space, therefore it is suitable only for spacious rooms. Well-chosen photo wallpapers on one of the walls open the perimeter of the room. The same effect will be obtained if one of the walls is made completely mirrored.
You can finish the walls with various materials:
- wallpaper is a universal way to decorate a room in any style;
- stucco decoration of plastered surfaces demonstrates the refinement of taste;
- murals give scope for imagination and a lot of options;
- artificial stone diversifies the interior;
- wenge wood panels breathe warmth;
- decorative plaster is suitable for decorating the wall at the head of the bed.
Finishing the floor is important for the harmony of the perception of the interior. A sensitive, excitable person is ideally suited for continuous carpeting. The long pile has a calming effect.
For the floor in the black and white bedroom, there is an extensive range of materials:
- glossy, matte, plain or ornamented ceramic tiles;
- carpet;
- parquet;
- parquet board laminated with precious wood veneer;
- natural marble;
- natural board in wenge color.
