A comment
While we were being treated in a sanatorium, the children repaired our households. We were especially struck by the glossy stretch ceilings, which turned out to be quite functional and inexpensive. Until now, they are not indifferent to them, but for various reasons.
In a city apartment there are mirror options. To them, over time, some complaints arose. They heat up, strongly reflect the sparkling snow, the sun's rays, standing on the floor, objects on the street, are covered with shadows. At night from a dream, threatening reflections inspire fear. They were quite tired of curtaining, “admiring” the glare, we would like to change the material.
The cottage is decorated with less shining varnish paintings, they are impeccable. None of the above disadvantages with the ability to expand the volume of the premises: the windows are slightly reflected, which visually increases the area. Cottage rooms now do not seem dimly, especially in the evenings when we turn on the light.
pros
affordability, excellent leveling properties, aesthetics; non-shiny versions are ideal, while qualitatively expanding the space
Minuses
an excessively shiny surface resembles a curved mirror and quickly begins to annoy
