When choosing the best option for a stretch ceiling, you must immediately think about lighting. Of course, specialists often analyze this information, but sometimes it is necessary to take the initiative into their own hands and create the most attractive and cozy space. It should be noted that lighting products are of great importance, since the general atmosphere in the room depends on them. Moreover, many owners choose lighting for suspended ceilings, starting from the specifics of the design of the room, and this is often correct.

First of all, it is necessary to remember that many associate the tension coating with the modern style, therefore, lighting products should be appropriate. Often, the chandelier is chosen as the main source of light. The most common version of these products is not suitable, so you need to seriously approach the choice of a chandelier, its appearance, dimensions and some other factors.
In this article, we will consider the most important details associated with the choice of chandelier for a stretch ceiling. We will also analyze the main features of this issue, and we will not bypass other lighting options that are currently being actively used in dwellings.
The main features of the selection of lighting for a stretch ceiling
When arranging a stretch ceiling, many owners even think that it is better to do without a chandelier or lamps. Indeed, the surface of the ceiling is extremely attractive, but without full lighting in the room it will be too dark. Most likely, even floor lamps, floor lamps and other devices, which are often installed in the rooms, will not help. Accordingly, you need to either consider some other option for lighting, or just install a chandelier.
Fortunately, a tremendous amount of lighting products can be found on sale, and the whole question is only money, namely, how many people are ready to pay for the chandelier.
It is important to remember that the most important thing when choosing a chandelier for a stretch ceiling is its appearance. It should perfectly fit into the space, since often stretch fabrics are installed in order to create the original design of the room. For example, if we have a multi -level ceiling, in the center of which a circle, we should make a choice in favor of a round chandelier, at least a little repeating the existing space.
In some cases, the hosts decide to use several small chandeliers at once, but interior designers often reject such an idea. The thing is that numerous lighting elements will focus on itself, and the stretch ceiling will be in the background. Moreover, the ceiling should not be cluttered, especially if it is a stretch fabric.
Using lamps
Separately, I would like to say about lamps, which are often used on the basis of stretch ceilings. Often, precisely spotlights are mounted, and with their help the highest quality and reliable lighting is created. No less important is that such a system looks extremely attractive. Unfortunately, many owners refuse to use spotlights, as they consider them not suitable for creating a cozy home environment. In other conditions, pointed lamps simply do not have worthy analogues.
It is convenient that all the wires that go along with the system are conveniently located between the stretch ceiling and the base surface. Accordingly, you can safely install dozens of lamps and be sure of the excellent appearance of the room.
Moreover, on sale there is simply a tremendous number of spotlights, and among themselves they differ in appearance and size. For example, in the relevant stores you can find a huge selection of rims for spotlights. They can be matte, gilded, or the most ordinary glossy - white. If there is a need to create something original, then such a choice will definitely positively affect this issue.
The owners who want to create something attractive in their room often decide to use ready-made design options, which are a huge number.
Chandelier and stretch ceiling
When it comes to choosing a chandelier for a stretch ceiling, then, of course, one cannot bypass the fact that these lighting elements are almost irreplaceable in modern dwellings. They have an attractive appearance, and often it is the chandeliers that create a special design of the room. At the same time, you need to remember that the chandelier can easily and ruin the design of the room, so often the owners attract the main elements of the designer room.
Well, the most important thing you need to know when choosing a chandelier is the quality of lighting. It should be borne in mind that even the most beautiful chandelier does not mean anything if it is not able to create comfortable lighting of the whole room. In the event that the room is too large, you need to pay attention to a certain experiment directly when buying a chandelier. You can turn it on, while using powerful bulbs. Of course, this does not pull on a full -fledged test, but there is definitely a certain sense of this.
Next, we will consider the main details associated with the choice of a chandelier for a stretch ceiling.
Basic requirements for the chandelier under the stretch ceiling
First of all, it is worth paying attention to the fact that there are a lot of requirements for chandeliers that are mounted on the basis of a stretch ceiling. First of all, it should be noted on the fact that the durability of the stretch coating, as well as its external attractiveness and quality of lighting of the space, depends on the points below.
- The power of the bulbs is not more than 60 watts. It should be understood that the stretch ceiling is often extremely sensitive to high temperatures. If you bring something hot to the material, then the ceiling may begin to deform, or simply damage. Often people install a chandelier, which is in close proximity to the stretch coating. With this development of events, problems begin. So that the ceiling is not injured from this, it is necessary to use bulbs, the power of which is not more than 60 watts, as well as control the distance between the light source and the tension coating. Many owners come out of this situation quite simply, they use less powerful bulbs, but the chandelier itself has several plafones. If the ceilings are high, then there should be no problems, you just need to provide a sufficient distance between the chandelier and the surface of the tension coating. If the room is too small, then perhaps it will be possible to do without a chandelier, using only wall lamps and floor lamps.
- Direction of light rays. Again, the choice of chandelier is an extremely responsible activity, since even the condition of the ceiling can depend on the direction of the chandelier bulbs. Experts advise buying chandeliers in which the bulbs are directed to the floor or walls. Thus, if the bulbs are directed at the ceiling, then there is a high probability of damage to the coating, especially in the situation, when the chandelier is located too close to stretch material. Fortunately, on sale you can easily find chandeliers of a wide variety of configurations. It is worth saying that the heating of the ceiling can be minimal, but the material from this is still gradually deteriorating, and after a while its deformations will be distinctly noticeable.
- The method of installing a chandelier. As you know, for the installation of a chandelier it is necessary to make a hole in the stretch canvas through which the chandelier will be mounted, as well as its wiring. Accordingly, this issue needs to be analyzed qualitatively, including the length of the wiring and configuration of the mounting elements. However, the most important thing is a reliable construction mount. If there are any problems, then this, again, can negatively affect the condition of the stretch ceiling.
It should be borne in mind that manufacturers of stretch paintings often represent the basic requirements that concern their products. Accordingly, even people can get acquainted with them without experience in repair and construction crafts, and without any problems carry out the entire amount of work. Of course, it is unlikely that you can protect yourself from problems, but most of the process of installing a chandelier should pass without excesses.
Using a crystal chandelier
Often, experts recommend installing a crystal chandelier on the ceiling. Despite a fairly serious price tag, such a chandelier will create a really attractive and cozy space. The thing is that crystal allows you to scatter light in such a way that the ceiling will become even more attractive. It looks especially pleasant if the ceiling is glossy.
In addition, do not forget that on the basis of a stretch ceiling you can hang various designs, so in the case of a chandelier there can simply be no problems.
LED room lighting products
Earlier we talked about spotlights, but LED lighting products are also very popular. It must be admitted that in many cases they show themselves better than classic chandeliers. This is especially true in cases where the owners want to create a really modern space.
- Using LED tape. In favor of this system, the owners of those apartments where too low ceilings are often expressed to install full chandeliers. It is also worth saying that this is often the right solution, since the appearance of LED strips is quite modern and attractive. It should be noted that often the ribbons are attached at the corners of multi -level ceilings. Thus, you can well illuminate the desired ceiling sector, as well as create a cozy atmosphere in the house. The positive side of such a system is the fact that the “insides” of lighting will be reliably hidden inside the stretch ceiling. In addition, you can find colored and ordinary LED ribbons on sale, respectively, often they are used exclusively as a decorative element.
- LED chandeliers. Increasingly, based on a stretch ceiling, LED chandeliers are used, which externally look no less attractive than classic ones. The strength of this chandelier is bright lighting, as well as the minimum heat released by LEDs. Accordingly, this will positively affect the general environment, since the chandelier does not affect the condition of the tension material (which cannot be said about the classical chandelier). Unfortunately, LED chandeliers are often much more expensive than usual, but if the owners are seriously configured, and have already managed to spend a lot of money for repairs, then such a chandelier will be a drop in the sea.
- Smooth lamps. We have already talked about this version of lighting earlier, but it is also worth saying that it is with the help of spotlights that the project can be implemented that the owner can wish. Everything rests only on a monetary issue, since each lamp is considerable financial expenses. At the same time, you can be sure that the atmosphere inside the room will be cozy and modern.
Variations of lighting
I would like to note that on the Internet you can find thousands of options for organizing lighting in the room. Moreover, these variations are often based on stretch ceilings, so each owner has the opportunity to choose exactly those lighting scheme that is in the best way to fit the existing space.
- Combining lighting. If the room is large, it is quite possible to use a large chandelier and additional LED ribbons. The main thing is that everything is well combined.
- Using several chandeliers. On sale you can find large and small chandeliers. In the event that the room is too large, you can place small chandeliers around the perimeter of the room, and the largest light source is in the center. Thus, we get the most acceptable option for large space.
