Bedroom dreams with a two-level ceiling

Wandering in a rented apartment, my wife dreamed of full beds - big bed instead of the sofa pretty boring. Finally, our plans to fruition. The newly purchased apartment, it was decided to use one room as a bedroom. However, the soul wanted something unusual. So just Wallpapering and suspended ceiling is not suited. I have always admired the judicious application of LED backlighting in the interior. So the idea was born to get rid of chandeliers and do all the LED lighting in the room. Inspired design on the Internet, we have drawn a sketch of your future interior. It was calculated estimate - about 26 thousand rubles unfurnished given the fact that all the work I carry myself. Purchased dry mixes, Profile, drywall, wallpaper, lamps, sockets, switches.

The first step has been found a good plastic window of Proplex profile, 2 pane glass and fittings MACO. It was the only work performed salaried people. In the meantime, I tore the cheapest suspended ceiling. I do not know why, but from a very strong smell of chemistry and the web had a seam straight down the middle. The impression that the previous owners bought the cheapest ceiling. However, we got them good enough laminate and a very convenient walk-in closet, which it was decided to save and close the film.

Immediately catch the eye slabs on the ceiling with a huge difference in height. Ceiling implied a suspension, but with the open part of the center, which had to be plastered. But before that you need to perform layout and begin to fix the starting profile. For reliable fastening them to the wall or ceiling using dowel-nail 6h60mm.

The next step was the laying of the wiring under the outlet and future fixtures. All connections are on a mandatory basis were performed terminal blocks WAGO. Wire from the chandelier, once sticking out in the middle of the ceiling, was immured forever in a slab overlap. The implication was that the bedroom to hang the TV on the wall. For this was proshtroblen Channel and TV cable laid with the supply cable. In addition, at the head of the bed, two lamps are planned, which should have been included each with its own button. Under this objective, as it has been prepared wiring.

After a successful test fixtures health, work continued on the carcass fabrication. The guide Knauf established transverse profile, tieing with the upper part. The resulting structure had a crash - the shelf, forming a niche for the future LED tape. Every step was monitored level, in order to obtain perfectly smooth plane thereafter.

The next step was the installation of gypsum plasterboard Knauf 9.5mm. I was lucky to buy them with a good discount because they were sold, how to break the sheet. In the future, all the same, these plates had to be cut for ease of transport and assembly, and this was the perfect option for the price. Screwed to the profiles of the sheets by conventional single segments Drywall screws. The most difficulty was with the shelf, because so simple screwdriver to not crawl. In those places, I put the sheets on the cutting fluid building nails. All seams are sure to embroider office knife to coat seeped into every crevice.

They are already beginning to look through the general features of the future ceiling. But, as I have already written, the curvature of the floor slabs spoils the whole picture. It begins the process of removing the long plaster plane beacons. It is mandatory to apply the primer Ceresit CT19. Once installed the lighthouse (in my case it is a direct scrap plastic profile). The seams between the panels overlap and plasterboard Knauf Fugen held with the grid. Then the fun - drawing nakidyvaniem plaster and leveling the two-meter rule. I used a proven plaster Knauf Rotband. The walls are also deduced this mixture with the rule, but without fanaticism. They were pretty well plastered, but the differences encountered. Ceiling took 2 bags of 25 kg, and the walls of about 15 kg.

The final stage of the dirty work was applying the finishing putty. What is applied - a matter of taste of each master. Personally, I really like Weber Vetonit LR Plus - get a great crystal-white surface, which conveniently hides. For the ceiling, I bought a bag of 20 kg, and it is almost entirely wasted. Walling took the plaster easier - finish "miners". It is inexpensive and great for end-surface alignment for wallpapering.

Unfortunately, the stage of wallpapering was not captured. Used vinyl wallpaper on non-woven backing and glue KLEO. Sutures are carefully customized and tested in the light, so that they could not be seen. The ceiling was covered with a white interior latex paint. Then unwinds LED strip and solder on the turns. It is mandatory to have connected it through a transformer. It was also painted cast iron radiator white acrylic paint Rainbow P-178.

This type of bedroom has adopted after final assembly and installation of all furniture fixtures. It was very cozy and comfortable. The room is now 3 levels of light:

• Bright basic - as a 10 watt LED bulbs 6 and ribbon;
• Muted - lights only the LED strip to the shelf;
• Bedside - lighting of the room only by sconces.

The results obtained were very pleased. The estimate, inherent in the work, failed to meet. The cost of furniture amounted to about 23 thousand + orthopedic mattress 12 thousand rubles. Thus, for a radical transformation of the room required 61,000 rubles and 2 weeks of my holiday. I have used all their tools: the plastic container, trowel, rule, brushes, rollers, scissors, metal, hammer, screwdriver, screwdriver, pencil, tape measure and level tested.

I fully admit that the process can be admitted any mistakes. We had to solve a lot of tasks to achieve the necessary strength of the ceiling structure, and, at the same time, to ensure its lightness. I tried to do the conscience and knew that, if anything, have only blame himself. However, the result exceeded all expectations. Now you can without doubt say that our and his wife dream finally realized.
