One of the easiest way to give your home a new look is to integrate a false ceiling. Basically, a false ceiling is a decorative layer which can be added to your original ceiling to create a more cosy and modern home. This can be done by using the drywall technique. 

If you want to know more about this method, we have many tips that will help you to create the perfect false ceiling for your home. For a start, you need to observe the light formations on the roof and have the exact measurements for setup. It's a very fast process and its beautiful too! So let's check it out shall we? 

1. Make your living room pop!

If you've always dreamed of a house with beautiful details on the ceiling, you can now make that dream into a reality, all you need to do is install a dry wall, or rather a false ceiling, which is an inexpensive way to give your home a brand new look. 

2. Create wonderful effects on the ceiling

When installing drywall, you have to consider several aspects such as the material being used. For example, you need to combine different materials such as galvanized steel profiles that will support the sheets hanging on the ceiling, especially for internal structures. 

Also, there is cement that is used in the outer zones. Do not forget you'll need drills, bricks and other tools to fix the sheets. If you want to give the ceiling a matte look, you can apply several layers of paint. One of the advantages is that it dries very quickly.

3. Think about the color of the lights

Pictured here we can see how lighting enhances the curves on the false ceiling. Usually, when installing drywall, clear lights are used in some areas to create an effect of amplitude and of visual aesthetic. This attracts all eyes to the ceiling of the house, which usually does not happen. False ceilings can also be placed in the dining room or even in the bedrooms. 

Thus, on one hand you can give amplitude to the area without spending too much money. On the other hand, it is very easy and quick to install. For more ideas and inspiration, here are 11 false ceiling designs you can't stop looking at!.

4. Use drywall on both sides

One of the best ways to have dry walls at home is to place it on the sides, so as to create symmetry. When you install suspended ceilings, very harmonic and interesting effects are created, you can use them in all sorts of remodeling projects. 

This is a very original and classic way to give  a more delicate touch to your home. No need to remodel at all, rather it is based on practicality and is supported by the positive effect of the lights. You can try more daring designs if you wish. It is just a matter of taste.

5. Install circular shapes

Another significant feature of dry walls are that they are very flexible, therefore you can make any design you can think of. Here the key style or the idea is that you adapt the forms that suit you and the dimensions and designs of your home. 

You have complete freedom to do whatever you want, but everything should be with balance and harmony. Preferably contact a professional who can advise you. 

6. Know the advantages of drywall

Dry wall is a very environmentally friendly material because it does not contribute to combustion. Also, it functions as a fire barrier since it is nonflammable. It provides both thermal and acoustic insulation, so it's great for bedrooms or spaces where you don't want to be disturbed.

It also does not change its shape, or expand or contract with changes in humidity and temperature. Another positive aspect is that the structure of the base will not rust, so we suggest you buy material with the best quality. 

We hope we have inspired you to try some creative false ceiling designs in your home. See you again on homify!
