The corridor is the link between all the rooms, the bathroom, the kitchen, often forming a single whole with the hallway. Therefore, all elements of its decoration should be harmonized and combined with the overall style and design of the apartment. A plasterboard ceiling in the hallway can make the atmosphere more stylish and even solemn and successfully complement the overall picture.
Repair in the corridor is the final stage. Until the repair work in the remaining rooms is completed, it makes no sense to engage in a corridor through which furniture, building materials, and garbage will rush through. The materials needed to finish this room should not only be of high quality and attractive, but also similar in style and color to the overall interior design of the apartment.
Main advantages
Suspended structures tend to “eat up” space in low rooms, but despite this, drywall is considered one of the most successful materials for decorating ceilings in hallways.
- It is environmentally friendly and safe, odorless and harmful substances in the composition, has no risk of fire.
- GKL sheets have good soundproofing characteristics and allow you to place any soundproofing materials on the ceiling.
- Plasterboard constructions do not require preliminary preparation of the base ceiling.
- With the help of such a solution, defects in old coatings, as well as wiring and any communications are easily hidden.
- Easy to design, the installation process does not take much time.
- GKL finishing is cheaper than leveling a concrete ceiling with plaster.
- Drywall allows the use of recessed fixtures.
- Using this material, it is easy to create original decorative elements.
Possible options for plasterboard ceilings
Initially, you need to choose the most suitable design of the drywall construction, corresponding to the overall style of the interior. Inspired by the ready-made solutions of designers, you can independently design an incredibly spectacular multi-level suspension system, although a simple single-level ceiling has the right to exist.
In the process of designing a plasterboard ceiling, it is important to correctly use the geometric shapes and steps of the structure so as not to reduce an already small room.
Ideas for decorating the ceiling in a small corridor
In hallways and corridors of modest size, the choice of suspension systems can be considered the right decision. Competent design development allows you to increase the space, and compact hallway with a narrow corridor will visually look larger.
Tricks to use in small spaces:
- In narrow corridors, when creating multi-level suspended ceilings, it is best to use clear graphic lines.
- When choosing rectangular or square shapes, it is recommended to make the main level slightly recessed in relation to the rest of the structure: this technique will visually expand the space.
- In the decoration, it is recommended to use only light shades that allow you to visually increase the volume of the room.
- With the help of the correct geometric shapes, you can expand the boundaries of the ceiling.
- It is recommended to install as many lighting devices as possible in the ceiling surface. Good lighting can create a feeling of spaciousness even in a very cramped corridor.
Hidden LED lighting around the perimeter of the drywall construction will create the feeling of a "floating" ceiling.
With proper application, these fairly simple recommendations invariably turn out to be effective.
What solutions are relevant for large hallways?
In such rooms, you can completely rely on fantasy. A spacious corridor allows you to create any desired design, it is important that it matches the overall style of the repair.
- Multi-stage systems from GKL look original. Even complex heavy structures will look quite harmonious with the right lighting.
- Ceilings with smooth lines dilute the strict boundaries, giving the surface airiness.
- The corridor, which occupies a fairly large space, allows you to use a variety of color schemes. The ceiling can be designed to match the overall style or make it contrast, thereby focusing on it all the attention.
Combination of materials
Drywall goes well with stretch fabric, opening up great scope for creativity and allowing you to implement interesting and unusual solutions.
- The use of various textures for decoration is encouraged. The stretch fabric can be glossy and matte. A beautiful view has a glossy surface of the ceiling with a matte edging around the entire perimeter. The painting or photo printing will look non-standard.
It should be noted that it is not recommended to use more than three shades on the ceiling.
- Mirror surfaces have an original look, they are able to create a feeling of endless space.
Lighting
Spot lighting allows you to create an effect that visually increases the height and aesthetic appeal.
Modern fixtures allow you to organize lighting in several colors.
If a two-level plasterboard structure is being mounted, you can use the LED backlight, which is mounted in the lower level niche around the entire perimeter of the hallway. This technique can be used in both large and small rooms, it allows you to increase the height and somewhat expand the overall space.
