Does the living room look good without a suspended ceiling and gypsum lines? How to decorate the living room without a suspended ceiling and gypsum lines?

We all know that the living room is a more conspicuous place in the home, and it is also a place that takes more time to decorate. Many people will focus on decorating the living room, especially the ceiling. Some people will have a suspended ceiling in the living room, and some people will use gypsum lines in the living room. So does it look good if the living room does not have a suspended ceiling and uses gypsum lines? Let's take a closer look below!

How to decorate the living room beautifully without suspended ceiling and plaster line

1. The "good-looking" way to use gypsum lines on the living room ceiling without a suspended ceiling

⑴Decorative plaster line

Gypsum lines with a strong sense of decoration are mostly used in spaces with a certain clear decoration style. Its role is to "help" the space show a "more complete" style effect! In many cases, it is not just a "simple" existence of gypsum lines, but more like a "symbol" of the decoration style, a "shape". Although it is not the "protagonist", it is also an indispensable "part", silently "perfecting" the living room effect!

⑵Gypsum corner line + single-layer gypsum board on the wall

From the top to the bottom, a gypsum board of a certain width is made on the wall with the same material and color as the ceiling. When the color and material of the wall are the same as the gypsum board, the gypsum board will increase the layering of the wall. The existence of the gypsum top corner line is used to prevent the ceiling and the wall from "blending into one". The living room space has good integrity but not monotonous!

When the color or material of the wall is different from that of the gypsum board, the gypsum board will become an "extension" of the ceiling, visually "expanding" the area of ​​the ceiling; the gypsum line makes the ceiling more "richer", and there is no need to worry about the ceiling "not being able to suppress" the wall. The living room space will be neither "thin" nor "too full", and the layers will be clear!

⑶ Double-layer gypsum line on the top

A double-layer plaster line combination of gypsum cornice + plaster line is used on the ceiling. The gypsum cornice provides a good "buffer" for the transition between walls and ceilings of different materials and colors, avoiding "harsh" situations and making their "connection" more natural; the ceiling gypsum line "stays" quietly, and the distance between it and the gypsum cornice increases the level of the ceiling very well, but if the living room is small this method will have a strong sense of "contraction", which will aggravate the cramped feeling brought by the ceiling and space!

⑷Gypsum corner line

Using the top corner line alone on the ceiling, unlike several other methods, will not bring a strong "presence" to the ceiling. In addition to ensuring a good "transition" between the wall and the ceiling, it makes the space "soft" without lacking in decorative sense!

2. If you are worried that the ceiling effect is not good enough, you can use lamps to make up for it.

If after the hard decoration of the living room is completed, you feel that the effect of not shaping the ceiling and only using gypsum lines is a bit "inadequate", don't worry, we can "put in effort" in the matching of ceiling lamps in the later stage to make the space effect more "perfect"!

⑴Ceiling lamp

Using ceiling lamps on the ceiling of the living room, although sometimes its decorative effect is not as good as that of chandeliers, but in most cases its volume will be entirely "attached" to the ceiling, so it can well "eliminate" the empty feeling of the ceiling and make the ceiling "fuller"; and ceiling lamps will not bring "burden" to the height of the living room, and are also suitable for spaces with lower heights.

⑵Chandelier

Chandeliers are commonly used in living rooms. The drooping feeling of the chandelier can well "break" the "flat" ceiling surface, giving the space a sense of hierarchy in the "vertical direction". Compared with ceiling lamps, chandeliers are more decorative and easier to produce effects.

Key points for decorating the living room without ceiling and using gypsum lines

Many people don’t like the complexity of suspended ceilings, but are afraid that using gypsum lines will be too simple and not produce good results.

First of all, the misunderstanding here is that whether to hang the ceiling or not, and whether to use gypsum lines all depends on the function and design.

If you need to install indoor central air conditioning or ducted air conditioner and have to make a suspended ceiling, you can consider making a circle around or a partial suspended ceiling that can accommodate the indoor air conditioner unit and pipelines.

If you want to make an embedded point light source (that is, a spotlight), you can consider making it a large flat ceiling. If you consider a design without a main light, you can also choose a surface-mounted downlight or a track-mounted spotlight, so that you don’t need a suspended ceiling.

If you choose the right line type, you can also make a very beautiful and unique plaster line ceiling.

From a construction perspective: If the developer's house is built very poorly and the walls are obviously crooked, then just build baseboards.

From the perspective of decoration style: if the decoration style requires, you can choose some corner lines for combination and matching. The key to appearance is still in the design and matching.

From the perspective of material quality: gypsum line is the most commonly used material, it can be polished and painted, has a high cost-effectiveness and strong plasticity.

From the perspective of design style matching: basic style, minimalist style, retro style, it is not difficult to match them well, but you need to pay attention to the corner lines of the retro style. The height of the corner lines, the height of the skirting boards and the width of the door frames should be almost the same, and the choice of shapes should also echo each other.

Is it better to install a suspended ceiling or a plaster line in the living room?

Generally speaking, whether a room should have a suspended ceiling depends on personal circumstances, on the one hand it depends on the budget, and on the other hand it depends on personal preference.

If the budget is tight, it is a good idea to choose gypsum lines. They have simple lines and a good sense of space. As long as the overall layout and design are well matched, it will not have any impact.

If you like a layered, luxurious style, then you naturally need a suspended ceiling to achieve the desired effect. However, you must have a good designer, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
