Thank you roj leather and Simon for your recommendations. I like the hanging chair and the almanda creeper on the wall. This will certainly liven up the patio.

The energy efficient bulbs shown in the above photo suck the light is awful and they butn out quite often, if you want real energy savings go with LEDs they come in warm or cool light and you probably never have to chang a bulb as long as you live. They come in all kinds of wattages and can be retrofitted in almost any fixture.

@ Studio Not a big fan of false ceilings either. I am going for this purely for insulation purposes. The searing heat of hyderabad summers renders the long living space unusable. The vendor tells me thermocol filling will take care of this. Googled for this and learnt that the temp drop can be upto 5 degs. Exposed concrete painted dark is totally my thing but the ceiling is plastered anyways... Does saint gobain do the channels as well? Any tips for me to supervise this and ensure the guy is doing a quality job? Thanks,
