Interior decoration design is a reflection of the desires and images of the individual. The feeling of the alluring music of a roaring waterfall is looking for ways to be realized and the desire to share with your soul mate alone. Multi-level plasterboard ceilings remind us of a cascade and drive and have a number of advantages; they are always a modern finishing solution, backed by almost a century of authority.
A plasterboard ceiling will perfectly complement the bedroom interior.
Plasterboard ceilings for bedrooms
Main advantages:
- Environmentally friendly material: more than 90% is gypsum, 6% is cardboard, the rest is moisture, starch and organic surfactants
- Utilities, pipes, ventilation ducts located at different heights cannot be hidden under a single-level structure; the selected suspended ceiling consisting of plasterboard sheets will help brilliantly solve the paradox that has arisen
- To create comfort, it is customary to zone by space; a 1-level ceiling in the intended room is of little functionality; a two-level suspended ceiling will achieve the result.
- The purpose of any room requires varying degrees of illumination. In the bedroom directly above the bed, soft twilight is necessary to achieve complete comfort. Of course, you can hang chandeliers, sconces, and table lamps everywhere, taking away the space. But modern construction solutions should be used, a two-level design with spotlights - saving space. Lighting will complement the interior design.
A multi-level plasterboard ceiling is perfect for the interior of a small bedroom.
Based on the previously described advantages, it may seem that two levels are the only option. But this is not so, even if all of the above indications are not present. For huge rooms with a wide range of functionality, this solution will be ideal. For example, multi-level gypsum board cladding in a hall, lounge room, or reception room can be divided using waves, arches, horizontal zigzags and contour lighting. It is very practical, convenient and pleasing to the eye with its effectiveness. The same principle applies to dividing the work area from the bedroom.

Recommendations for choosing finishes
In order for the bedroom to turn out beautiful and interesting, you should adhere to a number of rules and recommendations for choosing the color and shape of the finish.
To create a harmonious design you need to pay attention to:
- Ceiling height. One of the important parameters when installing the system. For a room whose height does not exceed three meters, it is better to choose single-level structures. In this case, reducing the room even by 15 centimeters can negatively affect the final result.
- Lighting. When choosing lighting fixtures, you need to rely on how much sunlight penetrates the room. If the windows of the room face the north side, then it is best to install simpler structures, along the perimeter of which there will be spotlights.

Bedroom ceilings made of plasterboard can be of the following shades:
- Green. This color can have a beneficial effect on a person’s psychological state. For the bedroom it is better to choose light shades; they will look especially harmonious if the design contains elements of vegetation.
- Red. This color is suitable for non-residential premises. In the bedroom for relaxation, it is better to choose softer options. They can be pink, pastel red, alizarin shades.
- Yellow. One of the successful colors that can relieve tension and create comfort in the room. This shade will look beautiful in multi-level designs. To create individuality and unusualness, you can combine it with dark yellow or orange.
- Blue. Plasterboard ceilings of this shade are an excellent option for bedrooms with low walls. Such a surface will not only expand the space, but also make it “light”. Blue color can be used in both single-level and multi-level structures. Pairs perfectly with gray and light blue shades.

Design solutions for ceilings
Single-level ceiling
In the bedroom, you can create a wide variety of ceiling devices from plasterboard. Moreover, with due diligence, you can build them with your own hands. Suspended plasterboard ceilings can be of the following types:
- single-level. They have the simplest design. They do not require the creation of complex and elaborate shaped elements. They are rarely found in the bedroom, since with their help it is impossible to effectively highlight the room;
- multi-level. With this design you can already play with both color and lighting. Here the imagination of the bedroom owners can run wild. The main thing is that it is beautiful. Bends here, as elsewhere, are not needed, otherwise they can spoil the overall design of the room.
Multi-level ceiling
In addition, you can diversify plasterboard ceilings with the help of additional lighting. Very often in the bedroom, especially if the room is large, there is a lack of natural light. This problem is easily solved with the help of drywall. In such designs, it is possible to use a variety of schemes to accommodate additional lighting. Lamps can be placed along the figured elements, in a first-level box, or simply on the surface of a suspended structure. The following can be used as lighting devices:
- Spotlights. To install them yourself, you just need to make round holes in the plasterboard sheet. They can be placed along the figured elements, as if emphasizing them, or simply in a chaotic manner;
Spotlights LED strip
- LED strips. With multi-level ceilings, such tapes can create the effect of “floating air”. To do this, on the first level you need to make a special niche or cornice that will hide the tape from below. As a result, the light, bouncing off the ceiling, will be scattered;
- chandeliers. The most common way to illuminate a room at night. Here the chandelier is installed in the center of the bedroom or you can install several small chandeliers around the perimeter.
The main thing is that the general line is visible, and the ceiling design does not stand out from the overall composition of the room. An excellent solution would be to combine drywall and tension fabric. In this case, the light from the lighting fixtures will reflect off the mirror surface of the vinyl film, creating a stunning effect.

Stylistic solutions for plasterboard ceilings
Before starting renovation work, it is necessary to develop a design for the ceilings for the bedroom. To do this, you can flip through several magazines dedicated to interior design, or seek advice from an experienced specialist.
Everything must be thought out to the smallest detail - furniture, ceilings, textiles, flooring, materials, colors. Any unnecessary detail will begin to cause irritation over time, and poor lighting will lead to vision problems.
There are several options for designing a plasterboard ceiling in the bedroom:
- standard single-level ceiling;
- multi-level;
- figured;
- combined (for example, a combination of suspended and stretch ceilings).
The easiest way is to mount a regular one-level structure and paint it in any light shade. Both spotlights and pendant (overhead) lamps can be installed in such a ceiling. The main advantage of this solution will be ease of installation, which will be suitable even for novice repairmen. There is only one drawback to a single-level plasterboard ceiling in the bedroom - excessive simplicity and monotony of shapes.
A multi-level ceiling is more suitable for decorating a bedroom than a single-level ceiling. There are many options, but the most common are all kinds of boxes and borders, into which lighting from fluorescent or LED lamps is subsequently mounted. Examples of plasterboard ceilings can always be seen in photos from specialized websites.
These solutions can help expand space and zoning small rooms. The main thing is not to get carried away with a large number of levels and complex figures in bedrooms with low ceilings, as this can “overload” the room.
A figured plasterboard ceiling with lighting looks great in the bedroom. These can be waves, circles with hidden lights or an imitation of a starry sky with LEDs. Combined structures made of stretch ceilings and plasterboard look very beautiful and unusual. But bringing such an idea to life will require some experience in construction work and considerable material costs.
After the design and lighting issues have been resolved, the color scheme should be selected. The fact is that any color affects a person’s psychological state. It’s not for nothing that it is recommended to suppress appetite by eating from blue dishes and doing fitness in light yellow or light pink gyms. This also applies to the design of the bedroom ceiling. Below is the basic palette and the influence of individual colors in the design of a room on a person.
Red is the color of aggression and increased activity. It is good only in non-residential premises, in the design of individual elements. For the ceiling you can use the lightest, pink shades and nothing more.
Yellow color (not bright) activates the brain and relieves stress, making the room warm and cozy. Can be used in combination with individual elements of darker or orange shades (in figured or multi-level ceilings).
Green is considered the color of nature and symbolizes life. In the design of the plasterboard ceiling in the bedroom, only light, grassy shades are used. Looks good when creating figured ceilings with a plant theme.
The optimal ceiling color is blue. Its shade is a shade of the sky, which expands the space and makes the room feel lighter. You can use the lightest options, up to almost white. But it is undesirable to use any dark tones (blue, purple), as they tend to overwhelm.
Once the design has been chosen, a series of preparatory work and installation can begin. The execution procedure is standard - drawing up an estimate, marking, installing a frame, sound insulation, electrical wiring, plasterboard covering and connecting lamps. The installation of shaped elements has its own specifics, since they will require bending sheets of material.

Glossy ones, on the contrary, will give a feeling of greater height to the room and make it lighter.

- Spotlights can create an extraordinary atmosphere, twinkling and reminiscent of stars.
- In a dimly lit room, you can do without a chandelier; this is quite simple to do, make the ceiling in the form of a horseshoe directed towards the window and place spotlights around the perimeter of this structure. This option will make the bedroom even taller.
- In order to visually raise the ceiling, you need to make it a tone lighter than the walls and the direction of the lamps should be upward
- New modern lighting systems will be able to adjust the light intensity in the rest room according to your wishes.

Bedroom ceiling design
Single-level ones are used in small rooms , when the use of multi-level curved structures would be unnecessary.
Drywall can be easily given the required shape , so it can be used to create any type of multi-tiered ceilings with complex transitions and niches. The use of complex two-, three-, or even four-level architectural elements in rooms with high ceilings can radically transform the room, while hiding not very aesthetic communications .
To give the desired shape, the gypsum sheet is moistened with a spray bottle and laid out on the frame to dry.
Sheets can only be bent along their length , which is determined by the location of the fibers.
Small workpieces up to 60 cm are best suited for deformation, so when creating complex structures this material is first cut using a stencil. In the future, ceilings can be finished:
- wallpaper;
- water-based paint;
- decorative putty;
- ceramic tiles;
- mirrors, etc.
Using arched plasterboard for installing ceilings is impractical . It has an even smaller thickness, but its core is reinforced with fiberglass.
Cutting such sheets and screwing self-tapping screws into them is much more difficult, and they are quite expensive, so they should be used only in cases where it is really necessary.
