How to choose the best POP design for your hall
- Check ceiling height. Below 9.5 feet, keep to a simple border. Higher ceilings can take multiple levels.
- Plan around the fan. The fan should hang from the main slab with enough clearance from any step.
- Light in layers. Cove for ambience, spotlights for art and reading, a central fitting for general light.
- Match the room style. Simple POP for modern halls; mouldings and domes for traditional rooms.
- Fix seepage first. POP cracks quickly on a damp slab.
Materials and rough cost factors
- Design complexity: borders cost less than layered or curved designs.
- Framing: GI framing is more durable than wood.
- Lighting: LED strips, spotlights and profile lights add cost.
- Finishing: sanding, primer and paint.
- Area: priced per square foot.
