Hi. If you plan on keeping your bedding as it is, then I suggest you pick up a very light lavender from it for the ceiling -- something like the colour below.

I think this is a question of terminology. The vast majority of sheet-stock you see is veneered plywood, or these days, particle board or MDF. Plywood, by it's nature is multiple laminations. What you'll want to determine is the quality of the outermost veneer, and whether it's an acceptable grade to clearcoat, stain, etc. It sounds like you're looking to maintain the grain rather than paint over it... ??? If so, apply a clearcoat first. You should not simply polish raw wood or veneer. You may polish a coated veneer - but it would be coated with a varnish or laquer, etc first. Anything needs to be finished in some manner.

1. solid wood Better used in bed cottage, door , window frames and dining table. 2. MDF light weight non water usage places with good lamination applicable. 3. laminated plywood quick working cupboard pasting time reduce but cost is very high. Main advantage is machine pasting good finish. 4. Plywood + lamination /mica Major category Water proof plywood (Bwp /BWR) grade 710 commercial Moisture resistance (MR) grade 303 For kitchen where ever water usage use water proof plywood with 1mm laminate good pasting used maximum base unit with fitting zone. Non usage water places wall unit and loft unit use MR grade ply wood no need BWR and Bwp plywood. Also reduce cost. Wardrobe Use Mr grade plywood . main consider door plywood no bend and double side laminate for stability. For advice and suggestion click and follow below link https://www.houzz.in/pro/oceanarc

Peeyush, It is extremely difficult to identify a good ply amongst 100 plus brands unless you are a professional and you have the liberty to cut sheets for comparison . As you mentioned, it is a fairly unregulated market and in your case it would be only some 20 manufacturers making these 100 odd local ones and stamping it differently for marketing reasons . Brands do promise a minimum level of assurance and hence the cost. However, to help you narrow down - start with your budget range and the ones that comes with ISI mark/ hologram alongwith genuine invoices . With invoices you get a minimum brand warranty. The warping condition of the top ply usually tells a lot about the built. Try to go to reputed vendors only as they tend to have better ones. From the top five selected ones see if you can get "real samples" of 6"x6". Compare the weight, the cross section built of these and test them for nail/ screw strength and then finally put them in water for 2 days to see their respective performances with respect water absorption. You will need a lot of patience and a trusted carpenter for these. Too much to ask for a new person :) Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.
