14 ways to decorate an unattractive ceiling

There are many ways to hide an unsightly ceiling, no matter what your goals are. Maybe your ceiling needs repair, or maybe you want to change something in your apartment. Some of these projects are super economical, some not so much. What you choose for yourself depends on your taste and financial capabilities.

Contents

Corrugated Metal

Installing a corrugated metal ceiling is a great way to create a loft-style room. The metal is attached to the ceiling beams with screws and is easy to care for.

Cheap Ceiling Tiles for False Ceiling

If you don't mind having your ceiling look like an office ceiling, a false ceiling is an economical option. Installation of a false ceiling provides for the installation of a grid. This process is not difficult for those who know how to hold the level in their hands.

Faux Beam Panel and Ceiling

Another easy and affordable way to decorate your ceiling is to install a panel and beam ceiling.

The beams are actually simple boxes that create the illusion.

Tin ceiling

This method was popular a hundred years ago and now it can be found here and there from time to time. The difference between modern metal ceiling tiles is that they are attached using a special adhesive composition. You can use them to create any style of interior.

Sheet pile ceiling

Sheet pile ceiling will also help hide an unsightly ceiling. True, the installation of such a ceiling is time-consuming and slow, but you can do it alone.

Surface mount ceiling tile

Another DIY project. Surface tiles are mounted on a grid, however, their system is simpler than a false ceiling grid system.

Styrofoam Ceiling Tiles

Installing Styrofoam Ceiling Tiles is one of the easiest ways to turn an ugly ceiling into a beautiful one. Ceiling tiles are attached directly to the existing ceiling with adhesive. This is a cheap way to quickly and easily hide an unsightly ceiling.

PVC tiles

PVC ceiling tiles are installed in the same way as a regular suspended ceiling. PVC tiles are plastic and waterproof.

Clapboard

This paneling was very popular 50 years ago and when it went out of fashion people removed or covered it up. But some people still use this option to decorate the ceiling. Be sure to consider the weight of the skin. You will need a solid frame to attach the panel to.

Drywall

Installing drywall is another great solution for an unsightly ceiling. The job requires two people to lift the panels if you are not using a lift. Once the ceiling is installed, primed and painted, it will serve you for years to come.

Fabric

Fabric is another way to drape an ugly ceiling. True, you will need tens of meters for drapery and such a project can be expensive. Therefore, you may want to consider installing a stretch ceiling.

Paint

This is the simplest solution of all. You will need to prepare the ceiling for painting. It must be flawless, otherwise all the irregularities will become visible in bright light.

Wallpaper

The ceiling, like the walls, can be covered with wallpaper. They can be plain, paintable or, as in the picture, with a print. Remember that when you want to remove the wallpaper, it should easily fall behind. So properly prepare the ceiling for work.

Beadboards

Beadboards are an efficient and cost-effective way to give this popular porous ceiling a cover for an unattractive ceiling. Compare wood and vinyl options and choose the one that best suits your budget and creativity.

How to replace ceiling tiles

0005

Everything gets boring at some point - or needs repair

In what situations do we face the question: how to remove the tiles?

In case she lost her attractiveness; tired of the color scheme, and there is no desire to enter and be in a certain room; because the situation presses and causes discomfort; or the tile was damaged in some places by careless actions during cleaning, furniture rearrangement. The topic is quite relevant, and we will discuss it in detail, based on the video in this article.

Repair again

If you remember how the so-called “European-style renovation” started, it was a ceiling tile sticker. Photos were brought to work; advice was given by craftsmen who had already made a similar lining with their own hands; Discussed the price, and what to take better.

Beautiful tile patterns and no less intriguing names: "Venice", "Louvre". Employees advised each other which ways of stickers are possible: straight or diagonally.

Classic design

Time has passed, and the glued tiles have become an example of a sarcastic attitude towards renovation, especially when an apartment is for sale and the buyer asks a question about the renovation: “You have a renovation - what kind of ceiling, tiles? So what is this renovation? It's just cosmetic."

Beautiful appearance

Today, tiles are generally associated with budget repairs. There are simply chic options that are difficult to distinguish from stucco. But that's not the point.

It is always possible to replace one or more tiles. Only now there are usually no spare ones, and you can’t find them in the store. The only thing left is to remove everything and make a new coating.

Washing is useless - it's easier to replace

Preparing surfaces again

Any repair starts from the ceiling, and if it is decided to change the coating, the old tiles will have to be dismantled. What's in her place? Will it be plasterboard or stretch ceilings, or maybe liquid wallpaper? The decision remains with consumers and their preferences.

Maybe instead of stretch tiles?

Regardless of which decision is made, it is important to start with a complete cleaning of the old finish. Let's consider in detail how to remove the tile. Maybe this instruction will come in handy in the future if you need to change the surface. There will be a reason to look again at our site.

Stocking and preparing tools and supplies

Master tile remover

You will need:

Ladder - an ingenious device

Ceiling tiles - a very fragile material. Almost all tiles have these properties, but foam elements that do not have a laminated coating break especially well.

Are you tired of the ceiling and don't want to pay attention to it anymore because of the loss of attractiveness? Remove old tiles without regret, because there are so many new ones on the construction market!

The same tile can look completely different

Visit a hairdresser, for example - look at the finish. There is also a multi-level ceiling with a glossy finish and stylish lamps. A small room, and you can’t take your eyes off while the master conjures over your head.

We work with pleasure

Removing products is not a long process, but it is very dusty and dirty. The room where the work will take place must be tightly closed.

Dust has a disgusting property - to clog even the smallest cracks, and scatter over all open surfaces. If you don’t want to wash the apartment later and put the furniture in order, cover it with cellophane or completely empty the room.

Adhesive remains after tile removal

The video clearly shows how easily the tile is picked up with a spatula and removed from the ceiling with a crack, but the adhesive remains. Don't pay attention to it for now, and leave the work for later. Removing it will require some effort, because you will have to scrape off along with the plaster or its thin layer.

A grinder will greatly facilitate the task

Quickly and effectively remove glue from the ceiling with a grinder, grinder or drill with special nozzles. The method itself is good, but very dusty.

Attention: To reduce dust, moisten the ceiling with warm water. The glue is laid in a thick layer, so moisten several times with a spray bottle.

Electrical wiring

Attention: To make working on the ceiling more comfortable, it is recommended to lengthen the standard tool handles, or buy immediately with longer handles. If you don’t want to waste your time, nerves and energy on removing tiles, negotiate with any master builder. He will do it quickly for a small fee, and will still be happy with a side job.

With frame ceilings, everything is much simpler. Here the question: “How to remove the ceiling tiles?” Is generally irrelevant. Having a spare cladding element, you can install it to replace the damaged one in an elementary way, since the panel is not even attached to the crate.

Watch the video for this step.

If you have access from above, you can make and install your own support bracket using a 2x4 piece of timber nailed to the ceiling joists on either side of the box location (Picture 2). Position the brace directly above the ceiling box. From below, use wood screws to securely attach the ceiling box to the spacer.

If you do not have access to work on the ceiling, you can install an expanding metal bracket underneath to support the ceiling box and fan. Remove the existing box first, then insert the bracket through the hole and secure it in place by snapping the mechanism. When the ratchet is turned from below, the brace arms extend until they contact the ceiling joists on both sides of the hole (demonstrated in Figure 3). The spikes on the levers are securely fixed in the tree. Some spacers are available with an attached ceiling box, or you can attach an existing ceiling box to the spacer.

This method can also be used to mount the fan to a ceiling where there was no electrical equipment previously. Once a hole has been cut in the ceiling, the hole is wired from the nearest convenient junction box, then the brace and new ceiling box are installed as described above .
