A photo or two would be helpful.

Hi Gayathri, False ceiling can be designed in a number of ways depending on the space for which they are being designed, the area of the room, height of the room, beam positions and depths, the furniture placement and the governing interior design style. While designing the ceiling, one should keep in mind to make it elegant and appealing. The design should not be heavy or gaudy and should not dominate the entire room. A number of elements like paint, ply, veneer, wood, wallpaper, mdf jali etc can be used to decorate and detail out the false ceiling design. Providing level differences with cove lighting is a good idea in order to create an effect of mood lighting in the room, while giving the flexibility of choosing the level of illumination required. Here are some simple yet elegant designs for false ceilings - All the best! Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur

Hi ,Varinder u can go for such ideas if u have beams in ya lobby

Pradeep, plywood or Gypsum has little do with heat reduction . It is the air layer between the actual ceiling and the false ceiling that does bring the temperature down. So as long as you are having a gap of 4-6 inches between the two ceilings it shouldn't matter. Gypsum would be more cost effective. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS, Bangalore
