Design Features:

The ceiling has gypsum bands laid out across the middle and each gap between them is equal. It gives the room a tidy feel and makes it look longer too.
There is a clean rectangular border around the striped part that matches the shape of the room. This border quietly separates the sitting area from the rest.
Thin LED lights are fitted in the gaps between the bands. They light up the whole hall evenly so it works well for daily family time. The cove light around the edges gives a warm glow. It’s perfect for evenings with guests or during festivals.
The boards are finished in soft satin white paint. You can wipe it clean easily and it won’t go yellow with age. Sunlight from the balcony bounces off it too so the hall feels bright through the day.
The pattern isn’t too busy. So whether the decor is simple or bold it fits. It also looks great next to fluted wooden panels and marble style flooring which you’ll find in many new Indian homes.
