accentuate the beams in colour of choice ,no need to false ceiling

Hi Parul. Thanks for your suggestion

But I want to cover the beams with false ceiling. can you give me guidance?

hi,

u can clad beams with same finish as flase ceiling or highlight it with contrast finish..

it can also be cladded with mirror as it will visually expand space.

Hi . I don't want to clad them. I want them to be fully concealed in false ceiling. what's the minimum height needed for false ceiling? will 8'6" be too low?

hi

if u cover it in smae lineitll need atleast 3" below lowest beam ... which can be around 8'3" so it will be low as ur fans will again be lower than that.

so take a call with reference to beam levels.

ok. thank you

what's the other alternative. what kind of design would be good? if I drop the whole false ceiling at 9' , how can I cover the beams. should I go for step design? please suggest design ideas

u can have different levels of ceiling will some references

see if something like these can help

thanks. helpful

what to do if beam is running across right on middle of dining room?

Mounika what is the width of the beams . Please share few pics.

It is a subjective opinion but 8"7 " is not too low. Depending upon the beam width different treatments can be done to hide it

Hi nitin. The beam width is around 9". that's the only picture I have.

I am not sure about the beam width. I think it's 7" or 8"

Ok Monika, for the beam running in the middle of the room you can clad it to make it a part of the design but it needs to be planned properly. You may need professional help there. These attached suggestions should hide the beam.

If you do not get the theme in the pics please feel free to call us to understand the suggestion.

ok. Thanks. what about the other beams in corridors?

Do I drop the whole false ceiling at 9' and clad beams at 8'6"? How will it look?

Mounika,

If planned and done properly it will look like the images above.
