How to make a cheap ceiling from plastic panels?

Making a cheap ceiling with your own hands is real!
Plastic paneling is suitable for small spaces: bathroom, toilet, corridor. For a large room, you will have to spend money: the width of one panel is only 25 cm, and you will need a lot of them.
How to make the ceiling cheap and beautiful with wallpaper?
Wallpaper has long been used not only for wall decoration, but also for ceilings. It is not difficult to glue them, especially in a small room. The aesthetics of the result depends on the quality of the material and your experience. If there is not much of it, we advise you to read some recommendations.
- Choose durable wallpaper with vinyl or non-woven backing – they are easier to apply and require little effort.
- Do not purchase wallpaper that requires fitting the pattern along the seams.
- Before the process, prepare the ceiling: clean from the previous coating, prime and putty so that the surface is even.
The wider the wallpaper, the fewer the seams on the ceiling. Therefore, pay attention to meter, and not standard, 50 cm, canvases.
Other ways to make a cheap ceiling
If the surface of the ceiling leaves much to be desired and simple painting or plastering cannot be dispensed with, pay attention to the following finishing methods:
- foam panels;
- drywall;
- wooden panels.
These options do not require preliminary surface preparation and significant material costs. The panels are fixed with special glue and perfectly “fold” with each other. Drywall is attached to a pre-assembled frame, the installation of which requires certain skills. This results in a budget version of the suspended ceiling, the shape and design of which will be limited only by your imagination.
You don’t have to hire craftsmen and spend a lot of money to get a beautiful ceiling. Due to the variety and availability of building materials, you can repair the apartment yourself. You just have to connect your imagination, good mood and the desire to improve your home.
