For the design of a small ceiling, two core elements need to be considered first: the impact of the ceiling on the sense of space and its practicality.

Given the limitations of small apartments, complex designs such as cascading ceilings are not suitable; At the same time, considering that the owners who buy small apartments often have limited budgets, so the decoration budget is also relatively tight, which requires us to take into account its practicality and economy when choosing a suspended ceiling.

Next, let's dive into the specific practices and precautions for small apartment ceilings!

1. What are the key factors that should be paid attention to when considering suspended ceilings in small apartments?

1. Floor height considerations:

The design of the ceiling will directly affect the floor height of the house, especially the large range of ceilings, which will have an impact on the overall space atmosphere. Therefore, before making a suspended ceiling, the first thing to refer to is the height of the ceiling that the tallest person in the family cannot reach.

In addition, it is also necessary to consider the position and height of the beam, and if the height of the floor has a greater impact, it is necessary to consider how to do a good job in the combination of beam decoration and ceiling.

2. Underfloor heating:

If you plan to do underfloor heating, the finished surface of the ground should be about 5cm high;

According to the ground foundation, the height of hydropower and floor tiles is about 10-0cm;

After the floor heating is re-boiled and the pipes of the water and electricity lines are pasted to the bricks, the finished surface of the ground is about 15-0cm in the blank state.

If the height of the house is not large, it is necessary to weigh the relationship between the ceiling and the floor heating.

3. Ceiling Equipment Installation:

In some high-end decorations, there are many equipment to be installed on the ceiling, such as central air conditioning, fresh air system, etc., so in the design of the ceiling, the installation location of these equipment, pipeline direction and other factors should also be considered.

4. Combination of Lighting Design:

In the decoration, the lamps and lanterns are basically installed on the ceiling, so when making the ceiling, the lamps and lanterns should also be taken into account, such as embedded downlights, embedded spotlights, hidden light strips, etc., how to combine these lamps and lanterns with lighting design, in order to make a concise, beautiful and atmospheric lighting effect.

5. Budgetary Considerations:

People who buy small apartments are basically families who just need it, and the decoration budget is relatively tight, so the ceiling plan should also consider the budget issue, and try to save money in the case of comprehensive consideration of beauty and practicality.

6. Easy maintenance:

In the ceiling position where the equipment is installed, it is necessary to consider the problem of later maintenance, such as the position of the internal unit of the total central air conditioner, and it is necessary to leave a good maintenance port to facilitate later maintenance.

Second, what are the specific practices of small apartment ceilings?

1. Big Flat Top:

In decoration, the simpler the beauty, the more durable the design; With a design like a large flat roof, if the floor height of the space is sufficient, the whole house is made into a large flat roof, and then the downlights, spotlights, and light strips are hidden in, and the whole space is simple and atmospheric, and it is very beautiful and durable.

2. Partial Hanging Roof:

For the situation that the floor height is low and the central air conditioning needs to be installed, a local ceiling scheme can be considered, and the ceiling is only made at the location where the equipment is installed, and the other areas remain in the same state, which not only ensures the floor height, but also cleverly hides the equipment to achieve a simple and practical design.

3. Double eyelids:

For those with low ceiling heights, a limited budget, and a desire to create a sense of space, consider a double eyelid ceiling solution. This design is really just a circle of woodworking boards around the ceiling, creating a sense of hierarchy with little to no impact on the height of the ceiling and at a low cost, but with a better visual effect.

4. Recessed light (soft film ceiling):

Recessed lighting should be considered when the ceiling height is not large, there are beams to shade, or if you want to achieve a design without a main light. This scheme conceals the luminaires by having a suspended ceiling on all sides and incorporating a soft membrane ceiling with a recessed mid-center. This can not only block the beams, but also maintain the aesthetics without creating a depressing sense of space.

5. Plaster line or no suspended ceiling:

If there is no special situation for the flat ceiling and there is no need to install large-scale equipment such as central air conditioning, you can consider not doing ceiling treatment; If you prefer a European or French style, you can also choose to add plaster lines around the ceiling to enhance the sense of spatial lines.

The above suggestions are for reference only. In fact, suspended ceilings are mainly a way to decorate spaces and hide equipment, and are not necessary elements for small apartments. If there are no special needs, no suspended ceilings are also a viable option.
