It would be perfect to use in the middle of a quilt! That way, it would not have to be cut up and you get the entire design.

Hi Maam/Sir, I would recommend you to share a better perspective pic of your room where the ceiling is also visible because if a room does not have enough of natural lighting then some artificial effect like a false ceiling treatment would really give a great boost to the look and feel of your space. I would also suggest you to follow a concept like i can see there are a lot of varied colorscheme happening in your room so changing a curtain will not be much help. You should find the right patterns maybe like adding some pastels or i can see that some red or maroon color is involved in your room so try to match the lighter version of these elements. Also adding some wall treatments will give a good vibe in this room. - Layden Wangmo [senior design consultant] MAD DESIGN

Hi. I hope the counter is thick enough to take the weight of the sink and water. atleast 25mm to drill in the undermount sink clips. Drill clips are available easy, you can look up Blanco and Franke EL undermount clips. If the counter is thin, you risk cracking while drilling, in which case it is better to use epoxy sink clips. A brand you can find in India is Solartime. They are expensive but you can get your local fabricator to make you a dozen clips and get them galvanised to prevent rusting. Do remember to apply silicone sealant between the undermount sink and the quartz generously. I know how you feel, things that are easily done in the west can be a pain to achieve in our country, especially places other than major cities.

Koel - I'm facing a similar problem. I don't want a false ceiling, even the most simple one, because of the following cons: 1. Decrease in natural ventilation: A false ceiling reduces the ceiling height. Taller ceilings allow more natural light and airflow. Even a 6-inch drop is a bummer. 2. No added aesthetics: The concrete ceiling we have is already super smooth and has a flawless finish. 3. No functional value if you don't need much AC time: I live in Bangalore, and there is hardly a summer. Even though I am on the top floor, the roof has white tiles, and even in summer, the house doesn't get warm. I hate the overuse of ACs because of the environmental concerns too. So, I don't see any functional value in a false ceiling for me. 4. Recessed can light casts terrible shadows: The small lights hidden inside the false ceilings are more like focussed lights because only the bottom is exposed. I hate the coarse light they create. 5. Groove for cove lights is an avenue for dust: A cove light with a groove will provide soft and even lighting, but, living in India, dust is everywhere, I and I prevent any hidden spots for dust collection. This is more of a health concern. However, my builder didn't provide many wire points in the ceiling, and with the fans in place, only one point is left for lights in the living room ceiling. I just need a few more points in the ceiling to add a few pendant lights and directed spotlights to create a calming light with a few highlights on some wall hangings. If you want some nice-looking lighting setup without a false ceiling, there are some fixtures that make the wires visible as a part of their design. These are some Nordic minimal style light fixtures, and they are available in Ikea. You can explore them. I have one more year to go, and I am keen on finding more lighting hacks to avoid a false ceiling.
