Today, suspended ceilings with lighting - is an integral part of the interior in both classical and modern style. This design is extremely simple to install - the canvas is fixed on the profiles under the main ceiling. And an unlimited choice of shapes, colors and textures allows designers to create original ceiling structures that will make the interior unique.
Types of lighting around the perimeter
Illumination around the perimeter of the ceiling structure visually expands the space of the room, and if necessary serves for zoning the room. To create a special atmosphere using blue, purple, green and other unusual shades of lighting.
Contour
The system with contour illumination involves mounting the LED strip directly along the edges. This tape does not heat up, thus protecting the tensioning material of the ceiling from overheating and deformation.
Soaring ceiling
Lighting with an extra-low lamp mount visually increases the height of the room. In addition, the hidden linear lighting creates the illusion that the ceiling does not touch the walls, but “soars” in the air.

Backlight options inside
Illumination from the inside looks spectacular, as the soft light emits the entire canvas of the tension structure. The original type of such lighting is design with elements in the form of strips, curved lines or ornaments.
Through the canvas
The illuminated version through the canvas looks advantageous - a small room with such an illumination will visually increase, and in a spacious room, a cozy atmosphere will be created due to the soft diffusion of light.
Light lines and stripes
Translucent or translucent elements in the structure of the canvas can become a real art object of the room. They come in the form of parallel, chaotic strips or with an unusual pattern - lightning.
The photo in the design of the stretch ceiling used an unusual lighting with intersecting translucent stripes.
Light sources
There are many lighting options that are used when installing suspended ceilings. Among them - built-in spotlights, mini diode lamps, spots, chandeliers, as well as lights on the edges and inside. When choosing a lighting system there is a limitation - the canvas should not overheat during use.
LED strip or LED
LED strip is a narrow and flexible cable with conductors, on which LEDs are installed at regular intervals. They are distributed in such a way that the tape can be cut at any place depending on the need.
Spotlights
For tensioning structures, there are special recessed spotlights. They differ in fixing method and lamp type. Energy saving lamp - the most acceptable. It does not heat up, therefore it does not deform the web.
Roralite
It is a flexible cord made of PVC, with incandescent lamps located at a certain distance from each other. This lighting system is similar to the LED system, but inferior to it in functionality.
Diode mini-lamps
Designers often use diode mini-lamps to simulate the stars on the ceiling. This option is perfect for a bedroom or children's room.
Spots
The design of the spots suggests their exact direction in a certain direction, like theatrical spotlights. This type of lighting provides for the direction of light to certain interior objects, for example, to a beautiful picture.

Backlight color range
Taking into account the area and height of the room, the backlight can be either a classic white or yellow, or a cold blue one, and it can be in an avant-garde neon or in an extremely red tone.
- RGB (multicolor). It will decorate and turn any room into a luxurious and cozy corner with an incredible heavenly rainbow smoothly iridescent at the click of the console.
- Neon. Or with the effect - ice. This tone is ideal for living in a modern style.
- White. The traditional version of the backlight. Ideal for a small room.
- Yellow. Will create a cozy atmosphere in a large space.
- Green. This shade is suitable for additional lighting of the room.
- Violet. In the bedroom with a hint of lighting will be a special "unearthly" atmosphere.

Types of ceiling design
The modern range of ceiling designs is practically unlimited. Design opportunities cover the range from simple and traditional forms to the most complex multi-level and multi-structured tension structures.
Single level
The configuration with a completely flat surface is a single-level ceiling. This traditional version, if desired, can be varied by choosing not a white, but a colored canvas.
In the photo there is a black-and-white hallway in the style of minimalism with a tension "floating" ceiling.
Two-level
The two-level backlit configuration is perfect for zoning room space. This option is perfect for high rooms. The length of the indent at the transition levels will be beneficial to conceal the height of the room.

Layered
The multi-level tensioning structure allows creating an object unique in design. To emphasize the complexity of the form, contour lighting is often used in this embodiment.

Examples for different types of surfaces
Modern technology allows you to create modifications of paintings that have different textures. Consider the main types of textures that are used for suspended ceilings with lighting.
Matt
The version with a matte texture almost does not reflect light and perfectly imitates the traditionally painted ceiling. Especially advantageous to look spotlights and LED strip.
Glossy
The surface of the glossy stretch ceiling mirrors objects and glares strongly in the light. Thanks to these qualities - this is a spectacular accent in the room.
Satin
The version with a satin texture in appearance combines the characteristics of matte and glossy materials. Satin ceiling slightly reflects the light, therefore, suitable for almost any interior.
In the photo there is a living room with a purple satin ceiling.
Ideas for various forms
Specialized firms will make a design of the stretch ceiling with lighting of any complexity. At the same time installation takes a little time, and also does not demand additional finishing.
Round
Round shape can be used in both single-level and multi-level structures. In the first case - the circle is soldered with a common canvas. And in the second - a round design can protrude or be recessed in the main canvas.
Rectangular and square
The traditional and concise version of the stretch ceiling with lighting can be diversified in a contrasting tone of the color canvas.
Figured (complex shape)
Sea waves, white fluffy clouds, abstract volumetric shapes and other options - any ceiling configuration suitable to the general interior style is available for selection.
Perforated
Perforated stretch ceiling is a canvas with holes of various sizes. Perforation is carried out on a special programmed equipment.

With niche
Most often, the use of niches when installing suspended ceilings is justified practically. For example, it is necessary to calculate in advance the place for the eaves niche.

Canvas color
At the initial stage of the design project, in addition to the texture, a shade of the tension fabric is also chosen. Cold tones are suitable for creating a calm atmosphere in the room, and warm ones will add a note of comfort. Most often, designers use the following tones in varying saturation and brightness.
- White.
- The black.
- Beige.
- Blue.
- Gray.
- Brown.

Space image
For the bedroom of adults or teenagers, the living room in a modern style perfectly suits “cosmic design” - images of the planets of the solar system, the Milky Way, comets and asteroids. They excite the imagination and create an adventure mood.
Night sky
A special romantic atmosphere will create a design imitating a starry sky or galaxy. This option is appropriate in bedrooms, home theaters and living rooms.
With chandelier
The design of the stretch ceiling does not allow to fix the chandelier directly to the soft canvas. However, a hole specially made in it makes it possible to decorate the interior with a chandelier of almost any size that is suitable in style.
Between levels
The arrangement of a glossy canvas of rich color between two levels with a matte texture is an original way of zoning a small room.
Photos in the interior of rooms
When choosing one or another configuration, designers often compare photos of stretch ceilings in interiors of various sizes and styles.
Living room
Modern technologies for the production of stretch ceilings allow you to create a traditional design or art object that will be the main decoration of the room. The choice of lighting in the living room depends on the task and concept of the interior designer.
