Painting
In fact, the same whitewash, with a difference only as a composition. The paint is more expensive than lime, for painting a water-based, you need a roller (fur), a wide brush of a flat-flask, and dishes for paint in the form of a bath with a beveled surface.
Before staining the surface, we put off irregularities, we will close the cracks, if we are primed for the coupling.
Water emulsion paint is of several types: acrylic, latex and silicone. Choose on latex or silicone-they can be washed.
Life hack from masters: In order to forget about mold forever, add an antifungal, antiseptic agent to the water emulsion.
A water -based emulsion can be used both white and tinted in the tone you need or buy the desired color.
Tiles with styrof (polystyrene)
Foam squares were widely used a few years ago, since it was something unusual, new. This method can be confidently attributed to the most economical.
To do the work, you need to glue for foam, a sharp stationery knife for trimming, the plates themselves and a little time and skill. You need to start glue from the center to avoid sloppy slots from one or more sides.
The pluses of the slabs with styrof: It is quickly glued and does not require skills; It costs inexpensive; It is possible to paint the desired color; Can hide small flaws and shortcomings;
But from the minuses, such qualities: The material is very fuel, when burning, it releases dangerous gas; Cannot hide bumps; Joints are most often visible; Golshes quickly from temperature changes; Wash badly;

Stretch ceilings in the kitchen photo:
Glossy ceilings
The stretch ceiling, or rather the film is available in different designs: matte, glossy, satin, with drawings and has a palette of hundreds of colors and shades.
Which ceiling is better? This is the answer to which is ambiguous and mainly depends on your taste and kitchen design.
Glossy film will cost more than matte. At the same time, it is more difficult to care for a glossy ceiling, there are stains from the water. Many are convinced that glossy PVC visually increases the height, but here you can argue. All objects are reflected in the gloss of the film and this creates a feeling of chaos. Another option can be found in the photo gallery-nasal ceilings in the kitchen with a pattern.
Suitable for the kitchen if this does not recall the common style of the room, and if the dining room has a sufficient area and height.
Matte ceilings
A perfectly flat surface, which has the structure of a carefully putty and painted ceiling, all these advantages gives a stretch ceiling with a matte surface. One significant minus of the matte surface, if there is a junction, it will be more visible than on the gloss.
Plasterboard coating
The use of drywall during the installation of ceilings is a cool solution. Allows you to fulfill almost any design-idea. Perhaps the device of a two -level ceiling in the kitchen, combinations with stretch systems are possible. This material gives unlimited possibilities in decisions.

Suspended ceiling
When mentioning suspended ceilings in the head, the Armstrong system pops up. Suspended ceilings are called slabs inserted into the supporting frame consisting of guides. Suspended panels are available in the form of laminated MDF, light mirror panels, etc.D. The principle of installation in all systems of this type is the same. To apply this method, the main requirement of a flat frame around the perimeter. The frame for suspended ceilings takes from 9 cm. The height of the room.
Plastic panels
The variety of plastic panels is small, like the color scheme. The lining is produced mainly in white, beige, gray or silver colors. There is an option for the structure of a tree, but using such a design is worth. The lining is seamless and with the seams.
For use in the kitchen PVC panel is far from the most successful option, although economical. The lining looks simple, it may be suitable for finishing in a rented apartment or in a country house.
Of the advantages of this material: Easily mounted, in a short time, do not need skills; It is not difficult to wash; Behind the lining, you can hide passing pipes and communications; It costs inexpensive;
Cons of PVC panels: Material of combustible, distinguishes harmful evaporation; Prone to rapid yellowing; Requires installation strictly in level around the perimeter of the room; During installation, it takes a few centimeters of height per frame;

Environmental friendliness of the material, the ability to wash the surface. Decorative plaster can hide small flaws, bumps.

Wallpaper
Wallpaper in the finish of the ceiling of the kitchen is the second method by ease of use after whitewashing and painting.
When pasting the ceiling, wallpaper can be masked of small flaws on the ceiling. Especially if it is dense, textured wallpaper. For gluing in the kitchen, use wallpaper for painting to avoid frequent overflow. Wallpaper is needed washable.
For the kitchen, woven -based wallpaper or glass wallpaper are suitable, they are most resistant to mold formation.
The wallpaper is attributed to both the economical method of finishing and the expensive, depends on what wallpaper you will choose.
Of the minuses of wallpaper gluing: Under the influence of steam and moisture, the seams between the wallpaper diverge and peel off. It is inconvenient to glue one person, you need an assistant.
