To create an original, and even unique interior, turning interesting and unusual design findings into reality, perhaps without even having the appropriate education and without attending specialized courses. To do this, it is enough to arm yourself with a remarkable imagination, the tools necessary for work and call on patience as an assistant.

Decorate the ceiling with clouds

The boundless blue sky and floating white clouds can not only change the design of the room, bringing extraordinary lightness, exquisite airiness and a bit of romance into it, but also create a serene atmosphere of comfort and warmth. Creating clouds on the surface of the ceiling, using your hands and imagination for this, is not difficult at all. In addition, this idea can be realized in various ways.

Ceiling with clouds

Clouds on the ceiling can be easily made using a stretch ceiling. On the stretch ceiling there should be a picture of the sky with clouds.

Stretch ceiling imitating the sky with clouds

Another of the options for the "heavenly" ceiling is a painted ceiling. To depict clouds on the ceiling, you will need:

• water-based white and, of course, blue paint;
• brushes or spray gun;
• sponge with a porous structure.

It is necessary to provide that the clouds depicted on the ceiling are combined with the general interior of the room. Before starting work, furniture must be removed from the room or covered well.

Let's prepare the surface. We remove dirt from the ceiling:

• soot;
• dust;
• oil stains;
• old whitewash.

Paint the ceiling blue first. For this purpose, it is appropriate to use a spray gun. However, if it is not available, a flat paint brush is quite suitable. You need to apply paint in two layers. We give the ceiling time to dry completely. Usually one day is enough for this.

Now, with the help of a porous sponge and white paint, with easy, light hand movements, we apply strokes to the ceiling. To facilitate the work, you can outline the contours of clouds on the surface with chalk.

In order to make the sky natural, it is necessary to apply more paint in the center of the picture, but the farther from the middle, the less. It is desirable to shade along the edges of the cloud.

Clouds are best drawn in different shapes and sizes. Mixing pink with white paint and adding a little purple glaze, we get an interesting experiment with perspective and color palette. Next, you need to dry the surface of the ceiling and ventilate the room well.

How to depict clouds on the ceiling using improvised materials

To create a cloud on the surface of the ceiling with your own hands, you will need:

• cotton wool or synthetic winterizer;
• sewing needle;
• fishing line or spool of white thread;
• stationery scissors;
• paste;
• containers in which we will prepare the glue.

Technology for making clouds from cotton wool on the ceiling

First, let's prepare the paste. Take two teaspoons of starch in a glass of water. Stir. Heat this mixture over low heat while stirring. Bring the composition to a boil and remove from heat, cooling down, the glue becomes thicker. In work, it is better to use a warm, but not hot paste.

Now we are preparing the clouds for placement on the ceiling. To do this, you need to divide the material in proportion to the intended size of the clouds. We give the planned shape and the desired size to the clods of cotton wool, stretching the material.

We collect the paste in a container convenient for wetting the cloud. Slightly moisten cotton clods in the paste, evenly distributing the glue on the surface of future clouds with your fingers. We collect them into one cloud of the required size. We lay out the blanks made in this way on a flat surface and let it dry for about a day. For more uniform and high-quality drying, it is advisable to turn them over every 2-3 hours.

"Clouds" on the chandelier

Dried clouds need to stretch a little, and then hang them on the ceiling. Why we string cotton balls on a fishing line or thread and fasten it on a module made specifically for this purpose in such a way that the clouds are located at different heights. The module can be made from dry branches crosswise fastened with adhesive tape, fishing line or thread. Modules can be additionally loaded with accessories of various kinds.

If there is no time to prepare the paste, then you can use a simpler method - treat the formed clods of cotton clouds with hairspray and dry well.

Making clouds on the ceiling with balloons

You can make the ceiling lightly cloudy using balloons. We tie inflated balloons on one cord. Then we smear them with PVA and glue the white paper processed using the papier-mâché technique so that they become one. We glue cotton wool or synthetic winterizer on paper. Until the cloud dries, keep it on weight.

The cloud is ready to go. It can be hung from the ceiling or filled with helium balloons. That is, by showing the presence of imagination and a little patience, you are able to create unique and original things that will transform the interior and can please you for a long time.

Painting the sky on the ceiling

The studio "Aron Honore" will help to draw the sky with clouds on the ceiling, we do airbrushing, drawings of clouds on stretch ceilings - a video of the sky on the ceiling in the interior.

How versatile is the sky! Its saturation and combination of shades, height and mood changes every second. Shining, pre-stormy, cloudy, spring or autumn - it imperiously forces us to adapt to its state, to reckon with whims. You can watch beautiful clouds floating on it for hours. Sometimes their outlines are so distinct that you want to reach out and touch the fluffy lumps...

In order not to part with nature, we grow flowers, arrange mini-waterfalls, use natural materials, lay out the floor with sea pebbles. And how to move the sky into the house? For example, paste over a room with wallpaper with photo printing or draw a sky with light and airy clouds on the ceiling, looking at which it is easier to fly away to your dream.

Ceiling with a view of clouds is popular with our customers. Such a panorama effectively expands the space, which is especially important for small rooms, for those people who spend most of their time within four walls. Thanks to the calming natural picture, a favorable atmosphere is created in which there is no place for aggression and anxiety.

Drawings are applied with acrylic paints, gouache or watercolor, and, despite the unevenness, they look great on surfaces made of natural wood, lining and laminate.

Clouds on stretch ceilings

One of the most popular ideas for decoration is stretch ceilings with clouds. There are several types of tension structures and ways to create the desired picture on them. The drawing is applied using photo or UV printing technologies, which allow you to recreate many details and shades, to obtain seamless canvases of large width.

The most suitable for applying the sky with clouds are fabric canvases, as well as matte or satin pvc surfaces. If you have chosen a glossy film, it is better to use a less detailed and complex image, or to apply the pattern by hand. Printing in this case distorts the picture and reduces its quality.

Interior with ceiling sky with clouds: the magic of nature

The image of a light azure sky on the ceiling is appropriate in any room. Snow-white fluffy clouds on a pale blue background are a universal, very positive option. It can be introduced into the interior of the kitchen and living room, adult or children's bedroom, hallway.

But the clouds on the ceiling are not only blue and white, there are thousands of nuances, shades and halftones. A pink mist at dawn, an orange sunset or a starry night background with whimsical outlines: every touch will be decisive in creating the image of your room.

How to make clouds on the ceiling

When choosing a plot and colors, pay attention to the general character and features of the interior to make it harmonious. This does not mean at all that it is necessary to introduce into the drawing all the shades that are present in the room. In a green-orange interior, in gray, beige and brown tones, any heavenly shades will look natural, as in wildlife. It's about using a picture to present the mood, make the room brighter or, conversely, softer and calmer, and playing with combinations of light and dark tones - move the ceiling away or bring it closer, enhance the depth of color and the contrast of combinations.

Would you like, waking up in your bedroom in the morning, to see the dawn sky, painted in a special tone of the dawning day? The stars have already faded, realizing the superiority of the first rays of the sun, and only the pale disk of the moon peeps through the victorious blue. And snow-white clouds, like a light flock of birds, float over the still dormant earth.

Recreating a midday sky, the ceiling airbrush in this photo is filled with piercing sunlight. Blue and white colors on it lose their coolness, mixing with yellow ones, and even rare clouds float slowly and lazily.

And the magical, colorful spectrum that appears in the sky, tired after fighting the rain? A beautiful rainbow, a symbol of victory and the triumph of the spirit! It will fill the room with positive energy, bring joy to the child in the nursery and make a serious person smile.

Remember the colors of the sky before sunset. This picture of fantastic beauty with the subtlest transitions of shades is difficult to convey in words. Its depth attracts like a magnet, plunging into a state of peace, detachment from the hustle and bustle. What interesting forms take the clouds, illuminated by golden yellow, purple and reddish-pink rays.

Try to try on the color of the approaching night to the ceiling of the bathroom or pool, the sleeping area in the room. The mysterious starry sky looks like a canvas of dark blue velvet, painted with silver ornaments. The huge moon emits a soft diffused light, in which the constellations are drowned, and the clouds seem to be fantastic creatures.

Drawing clouds on the ceiling - options

Realistic flicker is achieved with the help of reflective materials. The technology of layer-by-layer application of paints will allow you to observe the starry sky only in the evening under the light of a fluorescent lamp, and in natural light - enjoy the clouds. The magical "double" painting will delight children and adults.

Additional elements will enhance the dynamism, diversify the “heavenly” plot: birds and angels soaring in the sky or sitting on the edge of the fence, ripe bunches of grapes, half-blown roses, tree branches. In the kitchen or dining room, it is good to draw an open gazebo, a pergola (canopy with climbing plants to protect the passage from the sun), over which clouds float in the distance, entwined with greenery of flowers or vines.

What else is important when choosing a ceiling in the form of a sky with clouds

1. Backlight setting

Clouds on the plasterboard ceiling are complemented by backlighting. The result of properly installed light sources on a suspended structure is a realistic imitation of twinkling stars, a diffuse cold glow of the moon or warm sunlight. An LED strip fixed in a niche of a drywall box will enhance the effect, add volume to the ceiling and the drawing itself.

Look at the photo: how interesting the composition of the night sky with clouds in the form of a circle looks on the ceiling in the interior of one of our customers:

The backlight illuminates the inner edge of the picture and breaks through the thick clouds to the center, enhancing the effect of the mystery of the starry sky. A centrally located chandelier can play both a decorative and a purely functional role.

2. The location of the picture in the room

Painting does not always become the compositional center of the interior; in many cases, it performs the function of an elegant nuance. The drawing is not applied to the entire ceiling, a suitable option for two-level structures is the location inside an ellipse, circle or oval. Such a kind of false window not only looks original, but also allows you to highlight functional areas in the room: for example, the head of the bed or the lounge area of ​​the living room. Monochromatic walls go well with this design.

3. Detailing and application method

In small apartments with low ceilings, designers do not recommend using drawings and photo wallpapers with a lot of details. It is better to draw clouds on the ceiling with minimal detail: this will emphasize the design idea and hide the imperfections of the room. In this case, the room becomes less closed, and the border with the ceiling is slightly blurred.

The grouping of the picture is equally important. An even distribution of painting elements over the entire surface used will look more harmonious. Clouds depicted below will raise the ceiling, diagonal grouping or smooth distribution from the center to the corners will expand the room.

Positive energy of color and pattern of clouds on the ceiling

From the point of view of Feng Shui experts, the energy in the house should circulate freely and be evenly distributed throughout the rooms. The main requirement for the ceiling: it should not be located too low or high, and the colors and images on it should not crush and oppress.

White color in Feng Shui is a companion of perfection, lightness and purity. Sky blue is favorable in any room, it brings calmness and peace of mind, disposes to rest, inspires hope in the soul. But the main thing that symbolizes a colored ceiling with Feng Shui clouds is faith in a dream, thanks to which you can fly up to the sky itself.

There is no end to ideas with creativity. Therefore, in the workshop of Aron Honore, you will definitely choose your own option for decoration in order to make the interior even more refined. Call us and leave applications, the approximate prices for painting the ceiling with clouds are indicated on the website.

Recently, it has become fashionable to apply various images, patterns, drawings to the ceiling. Such surfaces attract attention and look unusually beautiful and original, as in the photo. You can make a drawing on the ceiling with your own hands, knowing some techniques.

The method of painting the ceiling is as follows:

Drawings on the ceiling - interesting video examples:

Drawings with a stencil

In this way, images are applied very simply, you just need to be patient and accurate. Drawings can be complex and simple, multi-color and monophonic.

Do-it-yourself stencils for the ceiling are made of thin cardboard or thick paper. First, the cardboard is cut into pieces of the required size, the selected pattern is applied to them, and the stencil is carefully cut out with a sharp knife. To make the paper stronger, it is recommended to impregnate it with drying oil. There may be narrow jumpers on the stencil, traces of them are subsequently painted over directly on the ceiling with a thin brush. To make a color drawing, a separate stencil is made for each part.

Do-it-yourself patterns on the ceiling are convenient to do by first copying the original drawing, but without inventing it yourself. The original image is divided into cells. Then a square of the desired size is drawn on a blank sheet and divided into smaller cells. The drawing is transferred to the prepared sheet. This method of creating stencils allows you to make a copy of the image (reduced or enlarged), even without special skills. In order to avoid mistakes when copying a drawing from the original, it is better to number the cells.

Stencils are made not only straight, but also reverse. In the first case, the drawing is obtained from unpainted areas, and in the opposite case, it is made with paint.

Stencil drawings are applied as follows:

1. The working surface is pre-painted in the desired color and wait for it to dry completely.
2. The stencil is firmly pressed to the surface and the pattern is carefully painted over, applying light blows to the paper. You can’t brush over it, because the paint will get under it and the image will turn out to be blurry. The brush is only lightly dipped in paint to avoid streaks.
3. Multi-color patterns will take longer to complete. Each subsequent detail is applied to the ceiling only after the previous one has dried, otherwise all the shades will mix.

As for how to make clouds on the ceiling, the procedure is as follows:

• the entire surface is painted in bright blue;
• when the previous layer dries, another one is applied;
• a well-dried base is sometimes covered with white paint, patting with a soft sponge dipped in it;
• when the surface dries, blue paint is applied in the same way - this will give the ceiling volume and texture.

How to draw water

Decorating the ceiling with your own hands with the help of various patterns is a simple and at the same time exciting activity.

To draw a water surface on the surface, proceed as follows:

• paint the ceiling blue
• the sponge is moistened in paint a tone lighter than the background, and smoothly drawn over the surface;
• when the coating dries, the procedure is repeated, but now a different shade of paint is used, the number of such layers can be any;
• to get small ripples, fresh paint applied to the ceiling is lightly smeared with a piece of cloth.

3D images

Often 3D images are applied to stretch fabrics. Of course, they are expensive and not everyone can afford. To apply the image on the canvas, experts use different computer programs, special equipment. But you can make a 3D drawing yourself.

How to make a drawing on the ceiling with a three-dimensional effect:

• an image is created on the surface using a slide projector;
• outline the contours of the image with a pencil;
• decorate the drawing.

When drawing an image, consider the following:

• the background in the middle must be made lighter than at the edges;
• large elements are depicted with chiaroscuro, which create the effect of three-dimensionality; for this, paints are mixed and applied to the drawing;
• if a poor-quality or extra smear was made, it must be immediately removed with a wet sponge;
• adjacent elements are painted only after the paint has dried, otherwise the shades will mix.

It is not necessary to complete special courses or have the talent of an artist to complete an original and beautiful design in your apartment. With enough imagination and some patience, you can independently realize the most incredible design ideas.

The decorative ceiling makes the room original and beautiful.

Clouds on the ceiling can help create a light and calm atmosphere in your home. To create them, you can use one of several methods, which will be discussed below.

Drawing on the ceiling

There is a certain technology for applying a pattern to the surface of the ceiling. For this you will need:

• water-based coloring compositions of white and blue colors;
• sprayer or brush for applying paint;
• porous sponge.

Before you decide to draw the sky on the ceiling with your own hands, think about how appropriate and harmonious it will look. In some cases, the main interior is significantly dissonant with this ceiling design.

Before starting work, all furniture in the room is covered with a film or completely taken out. Next, you need to prepare the surface. It must be cleaned of all possible contaminants: stains, dirt, dust. Next, the entire ceiling must be painted blue. It is most convenient to do this work with a special paint sprayer, but you can get by with a flat brush.

The paint is applied in two layers, the second layer can be applied only when the first one dries.

The optimal time for drying water-based paint is a day. 24 hours after applying the second layer of blue, you can start painting clouds. To do this, you need a porous sponge and white paint. Strokes should be applied lightly to get a more accurate drawing. You can draw the contours of the clouds before painting with white chalk. You can make the clouds look natural by shading the paint along the edges, and applying more of it in the center.

It is advisable to carry out painted clouds on the ceiling of different sizes and arbitrary irregular shapes, so you get a more natural look of the picture.

If a little purple or pink glaze is added to the white paint, then clouds can be painted in perspective or in different shades. Making room decor with your own hands allows you to experiment and express your creative ideas.

The room must be well ventilated. This will speed up the drying of the paint and help eliminate the unpleasant odor.

Improvised materials for making clouds on the ceiling

You can make clouds using simple materials such as cotton wool and synthetic winterizer. For this you will additionally need:

• needle;
• fishing line or white thread;
• starch adhesive;
• container for paste;
• scissors.

First prepare the adhesive. To do this, 2 teaspoons of potato starch must be diluted in a glass of cold water. Next, the mixture should be slowly heated over low heat, stirring gently. The paste does not need to be boiled, but it must be brought to a boil. The mixture will thicken as it cools. It is most effective when warm, so it is best to use it in this state.

Prepare the clouds for gluing. Divide the cotton wool into clods of the required size, stretch them and give them the desired shape.

Pour the adhesive solution into a container in which you can conveniently dip the cloud-shaped cotton. Dip a cotton ball into the glue and spread it evenly over the surface with your fingers. Gather the wads of cotton into a cloud of the desired size and shape and leave the cotton to dry on a flat, horizontal surface. This may take approximately 24 hours. To dry the cotton wool evenly, it is recommended to turn it over every couple of hours.

The dried material should be slightly kneaded so that the cotton wool is not knocked down. You can mount the cloud to the ceiling. To do this, you need to string clods of cotton wool on a thread or fishing line with a needle and fix it on the ceiling. To do this, you need to make special modules from twigs fastened together with tape or thread crosswise. Clouds on such a module are best placed at different heights. You can hang in this way not only cotton wool, but also any jewelry and accessories.

You can use a faster way to make clouds from cotton wool. To do this, sprinkle cotton clods with hairspray and let them dry. All further actions will be the same.

In modern fashion, painting on the ceiling surface is perceived as the highest level of design art and has a unique aesthetic effect.

Armed with knowledge of the basics of drawing, techniques and methods of applying painting, it is possible to competently perform such work on your own.

High-quality ceiling painting technology provides for the following stages of work:

• preparation of the surface of the old ceiling;
• drawing a picture on the ceiling, that is, painting it;
• covering the image on the ceiling with a protective layer.

Applying drawings to the ceiling through a stencil

Here only our desire and accuracy are important. All drawings - simple and complex, monophonic and multi-colored under a good stencil, are easy and short to make.

Basic tricks

• We make stencils from thick paper and thin cardboard. To do this, cut the cardboard into pieces of a certain size, draw a selected pattern on them and carefully cut out the stencil with a sharp knife.
  Soaked with drying oil, it will become much stronger.

Note! Thin jumpers are acceptable on the stencil, traces of which will later be painted over on the ceiling with a thin brush.

• Multi-colored drawings on the ceilings for each color detail require a separate stencil.
• To copy the original drawing, divide it into cells.
  Then on a blank sheet of paper we also draw a square, but of the desired size, and also divide it into smaller squares, like the previous one.
• Now we transfer the drawing for the ceiling by separate fragments in the cells of the original, respectively, to a lined sheet. So even without special skills we get a suitable enlarged or reduced copy.

Advice! It is better to number the cells so as not to be mistaken when copying from the original.

Stencils are direct and reverse:

• in a direct stencil, the drawing is obtained from unshaded areas;
• in the reverse stencil, the image is made with paint.

Application features

The question of how to correctly apply a drawing under a stencil is solved in 3 accounts.

• We will pre-paint the working surface in the desired color (background) and dry it.
• We press the stencil to the surface and carefully paint over the drawing, applying light “face” blows to the stencil with a brush.
  The brush is only lightly dampened with paint to avoid streaks. It is impossible to drive along the stencil with a brush: the paint will fall under the stencil and smear the drawing. And yet we will wipe the stencil more often with a rag.
• Multi-color drawings for the ceiling are in no hurry: we fill the next part only after the previous element has completely dried.

Other application methods

Stamps

Factory stamps made of soft rubber or molded plastic are sold, which qualitatively transfer all kinds of drawings to the ceiling.

We can make them ourselves, following a certain sequence.

• From thin rubber, cut out the patterns you like.
• We stick them on rubber strips and get a work surface.
• Then we glue this work surface onto the base: a convenient wooden block or other durable object.

Application features:

• Carefully wet the finished stamp with the prepared paint.
• Let's press it to the surface of the ceiling and get a clear impression of the pattern we have chosen.
• A neat print will only be if the bottom of the wooden block is absolutely even, then our self-made ceilings with a pattern will turn out to be perfect.

Advice! A couple of test prints on plywood painted in the color of the ceiling will save us from surprises about the compatibility of these paints and applying the right amount of paint to the stamp.

Rolling a pattern with a roller

Craftsmen advise how to apply a ceiling roller. To do this, we need a special machine for 2 rollers: one with a pattern, and the other from foam rubber. We attach them tightly to each other, but at the same time they rotate freely on their axes.

Drawing sequence:

• wet the foam roller with paint and, squeezing out the excess, insert it into the machine;
• we will attach the machine to the surface with a patterned roller - only this roller should be in contact with the ceiling and leave an imprint on it;
• with a little pressure, we carry out the machine, row after row - along the surface - and the ceiling with a pattern is ready.

Using a conventional roller, you can get an interesting effect of a “crumpled” surface when we roll a glossy layer over a dried matte base with foam rubber patchwork or.

Draw water

There is an easy way to draw pictures on the ceiling:

• with a sponge moistened with paint a tone lighter than the background, we smoothly draw over the dried base;
• after drying, repeat the procedure, but with a paint of a different shade. The number of such layers depends on our desire;
• and we will get small ripples on the water by lightly smearing fresh paint applied on a dried background with a patch.

Boundless blue sky and white clouds

We need blue, white and blue. Although you can get by with only white paint and blue tint.

Procedure:

• To solve the question of how to draw a sky on the ceiling with your own hands, let's start by applying a soft blue paint to the entire ceiling with a roller.
• After drying, repeat the painting with the same color.
• Then, on such a perfectly painted and well-dried base, with a soft sponge dipped in white paint, we pat here and there on the ceiling.
• After drying, we will do the same, but with a sponge dipped in blue. From such simple pats, volume and texture will become unexpectedly spectacular.
• Let's dry the ceiling.

Now we always have great weather from now on, and we can admire our home sky and tell admiring guests.

Drawings 3D

Technologies allow you to apply any drawings on the ceiling and walls using the 3d technique. The sky, drawn with this technique, looks impressive.

Professionals use the necessary programs for modeling and accurate calculations, as well as unique special machines. This three-dimensional image has a precious relaxing effect on us.

diy 3d

It is possible to make ceilings with a pattern using 3d technique by following such a plan.

1. Using a slide projector, we design a drawing on the ceiling.
2. We outline its contours with a pencil.
3. Let's color the picture in the following sequence and with the following nuances:
   
   • The background in the middle is drawn lighter than along the edge.
   • We make large details with the study of chiaroscuro, creating the illusion of three-dimensionality. To do this, mix the paints on the palette and carefully apply them to the surface. If you made a little mistake by making an extra or poor-quality smear, we will immediately remove it with a wet sponge.
   • We do the detailing of small elements slowly, as the previous painting dries.

Now we can only admire our work and be proud of our talent.

Having figured out how to draw the desired pattern on the ceiling, unique and beautiful, we will immediately begin to successfully implement our intentions. The result is worth our significant but very enjoyable creative effort.
