In the process of conceiving a design idea for ceiling renovation, for some reason, many owners do not limit their fantasies. They often combine multi-tiered structures, complex geometric shapes, and various forms of spotlighting. The use of all these elements can be explained simply: they spied on friends, liked the option from a neighbor, or is just so fashionable now. However, experienced designers set design trends. In our review, you can find out which trends the designers recommend to follow in 2021 for ceiling design.
Top ceiling design trends
In 2021, drywall and stretching structures continue to maintain their leadership. Natural wood will not lose its relevance due to its environmental friendliness. And on the contrary, we will meet fewer projects with PVC panels and coffered ceiling.
This season, as in the previous one, the direction of stretch drywall ceilings continues to develop actively. Thanks to this solution, it is possible to create structures with level transitions with right angles.
And at the peak of popularity, ceilings with a Shadowline. This is a real trend in interior design. Shadow technology is based on fixing aluminum profiles. In this case, camouflage inserts along the walls are not used. Small gaps remain at this point, only about 6 mm. The final result looks neat and stylish. The interior turns out to be holistic, with the effect of solidity due to the Shadowline. It seems that the ceiling is not visually in contact with the walls. And most importantly, you can install any type of lighting on such ceilings. These can be any light lines with track lights.
And a few words about what you will have to refrain from during the renovation – the use of glossy stretch ceilings is a thing of the past, even though this could very successfully visually expand the space. Please note that with such ceilings, a modern interior will look uninteresting and cheap.
When it comes to colors, rely more on pastels, because richer and brighter shades visually diminish the room. But more on that below.
Ceiling color trends
Color in interior decoration is the first thing that forms the spatial image of a room.
Some of the 2020 color trends have smoothly migrated into 2021. Let’s look at the most anticipated proposals:
White
Without white, nowhere. It is a classic that makes it possible to expand the space optically, and at the same time, it suits any design. You can use a white ceiling in a wide variety of styles – from baroque to eclecticism or hi-tech. The main thing is not to overdo it. For example, too much white (ceiling and walls) causes a hospital room’s persistent feeling.
Beige
This tone is warmer than the previous one but copes with the task of visually expanding the space just as well. You can use this color for ceilings in bedrooms or rooms with windows facing north.
Grey
Many consider this shade to be cold, but in 2020 it was at the peak of popularity and will not give up its positions in 2021. It all depends on the surrounding interior: it will only add rigor to the room in combination with cold colors. If you combine it with bright, contrasting tones, gray favorably emphasizes and sets them off.
Blue, light blue
In the era of the development of computer technology, blue is becoming more and more popular. A review was recently conducted on the colors that the ten most popular sites have chosen for their design. Among them, it was blue and its original tones that became the leaders. Therefore, we can expect that this color will be one of the most fashionable next year. Besides, the blue ceiling also visually increases the height of the room and helps to relax. Blue – symbolizes calmness, and it is appropriate in a bathroom or bedroom. However, such a tone is categorically inappropriate for a home office, as it causes drowsiness.
Yellow
For many years this color was considered quite risky, but recent seasons have shown its increasing popularity. Especially calmer, “earthy” tones will be in trend, as well as their pastel shades, which reduce stress levels and stimulate brain activity. The yellow ceiling will be an excellent competitor to the traditional beige and gray ceilings.
Now let’s move on to the next year’s main ceiling trends for different rooms.
Living room ceiling trends
As a rule, the apartment’s largest place is allocated for the living room – this is the main room in which the whole family gathers to watch movies and receive guests. There are several guidelines for a living room ceiling design in 2021:
But the primary condition is that the resulting structure must be in harmony with the room’s general design.
Bedroom ceiling trends
An atmosphere of calmness and relaxation should reign in this room. The ceiling design is very important because it is exactly what you see before going to bed and after waking up, so the finish should be pleasing to the eye and set a positive mood for the whole day ahead.
You can choose one of the following solutions:
Kitchen ceiling trends
When choosing a kitchen ceiling, remember the unique conditions in this room. It is not recommended to use finishing materials that do not tolerate high humidity and temperature changes. Besides, during the cooking process, particles of fat and food can get on the ceiling, which should also be taken into account when choosing a material.
As for the color, by tradition, the ceilings in the kitchen are decorated in lighter colors, but recently designers have begun to move away from classical solutions, preferring originality. For example, a dark ceiling will look attractive enough, but you need to take care of additional lighting separately. It is also worth considering the height of the room. Dark shades won’t work in low-ceilinged kitchens.
Bathroom ceiling trends
As mentioned above, interior design trends in 2021 will be even more focused on naturalness and sustainability. Ostentatious luxury fades into the background, and minimalism prevails, combined with comfort. The ceiling in the bathroom should be light, without pomp and frills.
Due to the high humidity in this room, most materials are not suitable for use. The most popular here are stretch ceilings, with which you can not be afraid of fungus, dirt, and mold.
An attractive option would be installing a mirror cover, which will increase the space and enhance the lighting. It is unpretentious in maintenance and perfectly tolerates temperature changes and humidity.
Hallway ceiling trends
When the hallway’s dimensions are small, it is better to leave experiments with complex false ceilings and dark shades for more spacious rooms. It is best to focus on lighting, brevity, and simplicity.
If there is enough space, then you can implement a wide variety of ideas. Here the following will be relevant:
In 2021, the ceiling will be strengthened as an essential element in interior design. If you select unusual, original designs, the ceiling can dominate the room’s design, setting the general tone. The main thing is not to overload the atmosphere with elements, since the next year’s ceiling’s design is harmony, naturalness, and environmental friendliness.
