But our designers do not always agree with this, and quite often they “delight” us with their attempts to come up with something new. Let's consider just some of these innovations.
Plasterboard wave ceiling
The classic wave on the ceiling is quitea common and recognizable element of the interior in the spirit of "Euro-renovation". For the purity of style, it is necessary to combine the wave with built-in lighting (spot light). Fans of "Euro-renovations" do not stand still and constantly experiment, for example, they add a piece of cheap polymer to the wave, which they proudly call a stretch ceiling.
Stretch ceiling
Stretch ceiling is a very fashionable option.It has the most sought-after qualities among naive people: low cost and shine. There are no questions about environmental friendliness and aesthetics, since the installation of stretch ceilings is inexpensive.

Strange plasterboard constructions

Ceilings colored and with a pattern
It's a slippery slope to walk downonly with a professional designer who has at least graduated from an academy or university. Otherwise, the result will be like in this photo, where you can see a completely inharmonious combination of colors. In addition, this ceiling has strange waves and spotlights - apparently, the designer decided to use absolutely all the techniques he knows when creating this ceiling.
Industrial ceilings in loft style
Not long ago I had dinner at a restaurant thatis located on the first floor of a 17-story building. The establishment was decorated in a loft style. It was very "pleasant" for me to be there and through the din and music to hear the noise of the sewer pipe that ran under the ceiling throughout the restaurant. But it is very important when choosing the ceiling finish to think about how comfortable it is for you and other people to be in the room.
