It seems to be Teak, which is a quite expensive wood. Lots of Yachts and Boats are made of Teak and it is used widely on decks, so, I still dont understand what your question is? What you are saying, is that because of the electrical and AC Vent, you need to drop the ceiling? Do you have straight walls/ceiling? can the wood be attached to the existing ceiling? The Carpenter installing the wood, could just lower the AC Vent and what kind of electrical are you talking about? The ceiling can lights?

You do not mention whether you wooden wall will be painted or stained wood. Either way, there paint products you can use to properly seal and protect the wood either way. You should visit your local paint store and tell them what you are trying to do and see what products they recommend.

The style you like seems to be cantilevered into the wall for stability - depending on your available options you can use solid wood - but the more stable option is to clad it ! Just remember that not everyone likes the way that it's seems very open - so may limit your buyers if you plan to sell in the future !

Hi Emran, What a great size room you have. You need to create two sitting areas within the space, and pull them into the room (get them off the wall), also I can see from the fantastic chandelier that you have, that the dining table must stay where it is. I would recommend you go with 3 large area rugs, at least 10x12 looking at the size of your room. I would use traditional rugs with different patterns, yet similar colours so that they all work together. Visit alexanian.com for many rug ideas. They ship throughout Canada and US. Here are some of my suggestions, which I feel will pull together the mustard, red, brown and grey colours. Good luck and I love your space. Wendy
