One of the interesting design techniques, often used in creating an unusual and expressive interior - the ceiling lighting.
Types of Ceiling Lighting
The most widely used for decoration of ceiling lighting are spot lights and LED strips . And these types of lighting can be mounted on ceilings of different designs - multi-level or single-level. But! It should be noted that a multi-level ceiling with backlighting will best look in a large and high room. This is understandable. After all, the multi-level construction will somewhat reduce the height of the ceiling, in a low room it will simply hang and press. For such rooms (low), one-level ceilings with illumination around the perimeter are more acceptable.

In this case, it is best to use spotlights . Spot lighting of the ceiling, mounted around the perimeter, due to additional light reflection also from the walls, visually increases the space of a small room and "lifts" the ceiling.

It should be noted that spotlights, in view of their design features (waterproof housing, increased fire safety) can be used to decorate the ceilings with illumination, even in rooms with high humidity - in the kitchen or in the bathroom, creating a special atmosphere of coziness or, conversely, intima. Although with the help of LED tape, you can effectively highlight the ceiling, especially a complex shape with a lot of curved lines. The same LED strip allows you to easily and so-called hidden illumination. This kind of lighting can be constructed using two methods. The first is a hidden illumination of the ceiling with the aid of a niche made of plasterboard. On the perimeter of the room is mounted a narrow box made of gipsokartonnogo sheet and metal profile. In it (the box) is placed LED strip. But this method of arranging hidden illumination is somewhat expensive and requires professional skills.

A more economical option is the use of a polystyrene cornice for decorating the ceiling. It (the cornice) is glued to the wall a few centimeters below the ceiling, the LED strip is put into the formed cavity, the connection to the power unit is made and the light is ready.

Ceilings with illumination
When proceeding to decorate the ceiling with one or another kind of lighting, first of all, always check the quality of the wiring and, if necessary, replace it. After all, in the event of any future malfunctions, you can not avoid dismantling and re-installing the structure. And this will entail additional material costs.
Now a few words about the types of ceilings with illumination. Most often for the arrangement of the ceiling with lighting, gypsum cardboard sheets are used, which are fastened to metal profiles. And the use of this material allows you to create ceilings of various designs with a lot of curly lines.
Another no less popular type of ceiling with lighting - stretch ceilings, especially glossy. In this case, the illumination under the suspended ceiling will give the room a lightness, airiness, create a soaring effect due to additional reflection of light from the glossy surface.
