How high is your ceiling if only 8' I would not put in false ceiling. This is a small space for all you want in it so I would keep it very simple.These pics are form a LR and DR in a 11' x25' space and we had 9 1/2 ' ceilings so we put in crown molding but that was all. In your case i would put the T.V where we had an empty fireplace space.

Bump..

Cornerstone Design, Thanks for your response. The electrician and false ceiling folks I've engaged are very competent, and are going to take care of installing the ceiling fans (of any type or kind I buy). My only task is to find and procure appropriate fans. Regarding the loss of about 10" due to the false ceiling: I only did a simple rectangular tray drop design for lights (approx 4-6"); however, the original ceiling was not straight, and approx 2-3" extra went in straightening it at the tray edges. Since the ceiling seems (perceived) low, I do not want to make it look lower visually. I am looking for fans that will be as close as possible to the false-ceiling without effecting its sweep functionality or energy efficiency. Any suggestions on where I can get good ceiling fans in Bangalore (all brands and varieties under one roof)? I would also like to see/consider the options you've mentioned (special fan like flush fan or ceiling swing fans). Where can I see/procure these in Bangalore? Thanks!

Hi Riya You can use the existing slab on the left and create a crockery unit with a glass door. I would suggest that you float this unit a few inches above the slab so that the slab top is also usable for keeping kitchenware. You may also create open floating shelves or an appliances cabinet if you plan for electrical provisioning on that wall.
