First you need to decide on the look you want to have on your bathroom. If it is classical stained glass suits the better and for modern go for frosted glass. But before going to stained glass make sure that the bathroom furnishing and fittings should be in a classical type. Where as for the frosted the bathroom furnishing and fittings are readily available in the market.

You can use any seasoned natural hard wood like teak , sal wood etc. Another alternative is acacia wood (cost effective)!

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!
