All You Need To Know About False Ceiling Design for Drawing Room | Studio AsA

We understand. You want simplicity, yet all you see on the market (and in houses!) are showy or elaborate fake ceiling designs. We completely understand. That is why we chose to write this blog article to provide you with all you need to know about a clean and elegant false ceiling design for a drawing room that will give your room a sophisticated appeal. So, without further ado, let's get started.

 

What is a False Ceiling?

 

In essential words, a false ceiling is a fitted ceiling that hangs below a room's or home's original ceiling. The illusion of a lower ceiling it creates, often with elements of the original roof on view, has given it the title 'dropping ceiling.' It's usually hung by wooden or metal frames.

 

These are typically installed at a distance of at least 8 inches from the original ceiling. They're adaptable enough to fit into any house — it's all about being creative with forms and available space.

Types of False Ceiling Designs

 

Here's an overview of both the traditional and the hot-off-the-press ceiling designs to help you decide:

 

●     False Ceiling with a Single Layer

 

This style of ceiling is a sure way to spruce up a space without going overboard. On a white top, homeowners might opt to keep it white, which provides depth without dominating the area. If you want to go out with a boom, you may use a range of colors, shapes, textures, and lighting choices to attract attention upwards quickly. This is a terrific way to draw attention away from a tiny room or one that lacks decor.

 

●     False Ceiling with Multiple Layers

 

Layers are a terrific opportunity to play around with an already adaptable medium to create a unique ceiling. A multi-layered ceiling in the center of a bigger room adds drama and a sense of grandeur, but those on the perimeter are more likely to make the space seem broader. Please don't hesitate to use your imagination with a multi-layered ceiling since it offers new possibilities for lighting, color, and shape-based experimentation.

 

●     POP False Ceiling (Plus-Minus)

 

The plus-minus ceiling design is made entirely of POP and consists of parts that protrude from or are nestled into a standard fake ceiling. Because this is a more sophisticated trend, be sure to consider your current décor ideas as well as the amount of room you have before experimenting with it.

 

●     False Ceiling with Coffered Ceiling

 

Hollow square or boxy panels are attached to a ceiling as coffers. This ceiling design quickly adds drama to a room and gives the sense of a more considerable ceiling height and numerous dimensions inside one area.

 

The Benefits of a False Ceiling

 

These ceilings are appealing, simple to maintain, minimal in cost, have a long lifetime, and are great heat and cold insulators. The following are some of the benefits of a fake ceiling:

 

●    Protection against fire:

When we use fireproof items, we may get superior fire protection.

●    Insulation against the elements:

Fake ceilings create a space between the slab and the ceiling, allowing the area to stay substantially cooler.

●    Noise reduction:

When compared to lightweight building materials, traditional walls have inadequate sound insulation. Outside noise is reduced by building a fake ceiling with rock wool.

●    More attractive from an aesthetic standpoint:

These ceilings are more visually pleasing and provide more freedom in separate rooms and the ability to experiment with different forms and sizes.

●    It saves energy:

False ceilings save space in the ceiling, improve air conditioning efficiency, and act as an insulating layer.

●    Installing lights in the ceiling:

By enabling you to place led lights inside the ceiling, a fake ceiling may radically modify the appearance of your ceiling. Reading lights or diffused lighting for gatherings or a relaxing environment. You may use high-quality LED lights instead of one or more tube lights within your room. LED lights are more energy-efficient, and the majority of them last for many years.

●    Construction is completed more quickly:

In brick buildings, the wall must be broken and rebuilt, and if there are any wires or other installations, this adds to the time required.

●    A variety of materials and colors are available:

Wood, plastic, fiber, and other materials are used to make false ceilings.

●    A revolutionary appearance:

This roof gives modern rooms an innovative flair.

Drawbacks of False ceilings

 

●    Headroom has been reduced:

In buildings with restricted headroom or space constraints, the appearance of a lower ceiling may frequently be negative, restricting the breadth of installation.

 

●    In terms of the materials utilized, there are a few drawbacks:

Each kind of building material has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. Mineral fiber, for example, ages fast, drooping, becoming fragile, and staining readily and permanently. Metal, gypsum, and POP, on the other hand, are significantly more durable.

 

●    Concerns with secrecy:

A fake ceiling is installed wiring, pipes, and the actual ceiling. This helps to improve the room's looks and makes detecting defaults or damage more difficult.

 

Let's take a look at some of the best false ceiling ideas for the living room:

 

●    Using a Neat Tray Design to Define the Ceiling

First, you might use this fundamental tray design as a starting point. The borders are lower than the rest, creating a clean edge on your ceiling. It helps define the ceiling while allowing the room's stunning interiors to take center stage. Install warm recessed lights that seem modest and provide a mellow glow to keep the design's beauty.

 

●    Adding Glamour to Your Tray Design 

Looking for something a little more edgy yet still sophisticated? For a decorative touch, have your builder or interior designer install a high-quality, polished hardwood or plywood sheet at the base of the fake ceiling. You might also use PVC, metal, or glass as a material. A hardwood base, a fan in the center, recessed lights on the perimeter, and two warm flush mounts on each side characterize this fake ceiling design. As a whole, this results in a stunning design.

 

●    Chandeliers are a great way to add a touch of elegance. 

If you want to dress up a plain tray with a false ceiling, add a chandelier (instead of recessed lighting). Are you unsure whether a fan will suffice? Without a doubt. We recommend that you choose a bladed style that complements the overall look of your artificial ceiling. The chandelier, fan, and false ceiling (with recessed lights on the borders) combine to produce an excellent mix in this contemporary apartment hall.

 

●    Select a Recessed Design 

You may consider a recessed false ceiling design if you want to go beyond the tray ceiling. This design draws attention to the ceiling as well as the space, yet without being gaudy. The coved margins on the recessed ceiling are a basic design. A series of minimalistic pendant lights hang from the center in the image above, creating an eye-catching but simple design.

 

●    Try out some simple shapes. 

Now, if you want to try something new while keeping things simple, how about this fake ceiling design with a circular-shaped hollow in the center, great for a ceiling light? Two tube lights nestled into opposing edges provide soft but adequate illumination.

 

●    For a more modern look, use track lights 

Finally, for your bare artificial ceiling, you might use track lighting. Track lighting is most typically seen in retail and commercial locations that need a lot of light, but you can use it in your house as well. Track lighting, in reality, would offer your living area a distinctive and modern appearance.

 

Do's and Don'ts in False Ceiling Design

Here is a list of dos and don'ts to keep in mind while installing a fake ceiling in your living room.

 

●     VERIFY THE HEIGHT

First and foremost, before contemplating a drop ceiling, make sure the height from the floor to the ceiling slab level is sufficient to allow a fake ceiling without making the space seem cramped.

 

●     SET UP A BORDER

If the space isn't very tall, consider installing a fake ceiling that runs along the walls' perimeter, allowing you to generate mood lighting while preserving the room's height.

 

●     INSTALL INSULATION

Suppose a false ceiling is installed in an area immediately under a building's terrace. In that case, thermocol sheets should be used as insulation to prevent heat from leaking into the space below, making air conditioning more effective while using less electricity.

 

●     VERIFY STRENGTH

If a large object, like a swing, is to be hung, a solid hook must be installed in the ceiling slab before the false ceiling is built to support the weight of the swing as well as the weight of the people who will sit on it.

 

●     FOR LARGE ROOMS

You may use double-layered ceilings or distinctive forms, textures, and finishes to provide drama if you have a vast area.

 

●     FOR SMALL ROOMS

Keep frills to a minimum in tiny areas and pick designs with clean straight lines, avoiding moldings and other decorative elements.

 

●     PRE-PLAN

Prepare a lighting arrangement ahead of time to aid in the creation of a fake ceiling design.

 

●     ROD OF THE FAN

In the event of gypsum or other lightweight ceilings, the rod of a ceiling fan must be fixed on the ceiling slab prior to the building of the false ceiling.

 

To sum it up,

It's critical to realize that you have complete control over your decisions. You have the option of installing an artificial ceiling or not. It's also important to remember that artificial ceilings serve a practical purpose in addition to being attractive. They are available in moisture-resistant and fire-proof designs and may be custom curated to meet the needs of your house. False ceilings serve to absorb heat and noise while also hiding unsightly wiring, pieces, or features of your ceiling.
