Ceiling in the hallway - photos of the best, ready-made solutions for designing the ceiling design for the hallway
Like a theater, which begins with a coat rack (wardrobe), each apartment, regardless of its size, begins with a hallway. Here about this business card of any housing, will be described in this article. Namely, the decoration of the hallway ceiling with various materials.
Little budget ways to decorate the ceiling in the hallway
The simplest and cheapest option to give the ceiling a more - less acceptable aesthetic appearance is to whitewash it or paint it. For the reason that whitewashing, as such, is rarely used, we’ll talk about how to make the ceiling in the hallway more neat and tidy with paint. In both cases (whitewashing and painting), the ceiling should be carefully plastered and, if necessary, evened out with putty using special mixtures.
At the same time, it should be remembered that painting any surfaces does not hide its drawbacks. Therefore, the preliminary preparation of the ceiling should be taken with all seriousness. Having brought the working surface in proper condition, we select the color of the paint, which will fully comply with the color scheme and design of the hallway. In the modern market of varnish of colorful products there is a huge amount of interior paints, with a smooth and textured base. If there is no sale of the required color or shade in finished form, it can be tinted using special equipment available in departments (stores) of this orientation.
When performing work on painting ceilings, it is important not to leave gaps or sagging.
Ceiling Design in the Entrance Hall:
- Ceilings in the hallway with decorative plaster
- A more expensive way to finish, but also much more spectacular. Scheme of preparatory initial work, repeats the preparation of the ceiling of the hallway to whitewash.
- Cleaning the floor of dirt and residues from previous paintwork.
- Plaster.
- Leveling the surface with putty (optional).
- Padding.
The difference lies in the fact that instead of applying the finishing layer of putty, decorative plaster is applied to the surface. The composition of the decorative mixture can be uniform, the relief on the surface is achieved using various devices (graters) and tools. And with the content of textured particles of various sizes fractions. After drying, the ceiling in the hallway on the ceiling clearly shows the ornaments set during work, drawing, etc.
Decorative plaster can be initially tinted in the desired design color or completely white. The effect necessary in color and tonality is achieved by subsequent application of water-based paint.
Also to the budget group of the design of the ceiling in the hallway are their pasting with wallpaper and PVC panels (tiles).

All named ceiling coverings have their advantages and disadvantages. Thus, the decision on the appropriateness and possibility of their application is made by the owner of the apartment based on:
- Technical characteristics of materials.
- External aesthetic appearance.
- The time required to install the ceiling in the hallway.
- The financial capabilities of the customer.

The plasterboard ceiling in the hallway, according to the time spent on installation, is the longest during its construction. The minuses also include:
- Significant reduction in the height of the hallway. Needed for the installation of the ceiling frame.
- The need for additional decoration of drywall to give it a complete look.
Of the positive qualities it should be noted:
- The relatively low cost of both work and materials.
- The possibility of building ceilings in several, different in height and shape, levels.
- Interchangeability (repair) of individual fragments of the ceiling, in case of damage.
- If necessary, you can easily change the appearance of the surface by repainting it or wallpapering it.
Stretch ceilings in the hallway
Universal ceiling coating for residential premises of any complexity and area. Unfortunately, self-assembly, suspended ceilings - is not possible. Due to the use of special equipment (heat gun, hair dryer) and materials. This is compensated by the high speed of installation work and a huge selection of different colors, shades of high-quality imitations, such surfaces as:
- Natural wood of any species.
- The skin of fish and animals.
- Ceramics, stone and much more.

I would not say that painting is the most budget option. Perhaps, on the contrary, after all, in order to prepare the surface for painting, additional investments are needed - putty, primer, brushes, putty knives and this work is very expensive, the craftsmen take a lot of money. I calculated and it turned out that cheaper is a stretch ceiling, even cheaper, adhesive ceiling tiles.
