L-shaped main hall with two ceiling fans, separate POP recesses and cove lighting

Have a long or L-shaped hall? Our false ceiling in Kolkata team can plan a ceiling that fits its shape.
Planning a ceiling for a hall with two fans
- Divide the hall into zones. Usually living and dining; each gets its own fan and ceiling shape.
- Keep fans away from cove edges. Blade shadows flicker over cove lights.
- Align with furniture. Centre recesses over the sofa and dining table, not just the room.
- Keep lighting even. Long halls need downlights spaced through the length.
- Check beams. Many halls have beams that dictate where recesses can go.
Materials and rough cost factors
- Area: large halls cost more overall.
- Design levels and curves.
- Lighting: coves, profiles and downlights.
- Fan and AC planning: extra framing and points.
