False Ceiling
Light is the finishing material that changes everything else.
Overview
What we do
- Concealed wiring and a clean ceiling line
- Layered lighting you can adjust by mood
- Lighting planned around furniture, not guesswork
Good lighting is layered: ambient light to fill the room, task light where you cook, read and dress, and accent light that brings out texture and art. A false ceiling makes this possible by hiding wiring and housing coves, profiles and spotlights.
We design the ceiling and lighting together with the furniture layout, so every light lands where it is needed, and coordinate the electrical points before the ceiling is closed.
Design possibilities

Cove ceilings
Recessed coves with warm LED strips for a soft, indirect glow.
- Material options
- Gypsum board on galvanised metal framing; LED strip in an aluminium channel.
- Design considerations
- A peripheral cove drops only at the edges, keeping the centre of the room at full height.
Spotlights & downlights
Focused light over dining tables, counters and art.
- Material options
- COB spotlights, panel downlights, adjustable track lights.
- Design considerations
- Place spotlights over tables, counters and art — not over the sofa where they glare.
Profile lighting
Slim LED profiles in ceilings, under cabinets and inside wardrobes.
- Material options
- Slim aluminium LED profiles in ceilings, under cabinets and inside wardrobes.
- Design considerations
- Use diffusers to avoid visible LED dots, especially on glossy surfaces.
Feature ceilings
Shaped ceilings for children’s rooms or statement living areas.
- Material options
- Shaped gypsum, wooden rafters or laminate panels in ceilings.
- Design considerations
- Keep feature ceilings to one focal room so the home does not feel busy.
Electrical coordination
Switch positions, dimmers and circuits planned with the lighting design.
- Material options
- Switch boards, dimmers, smart-switch back boxes, separate circuits.
- Design considerations
- Freeze switch positions and circuits before the ceiling is closed; changes later mean cutting the board.
Moisture-resistant ceilings
Ceilings for kitchens, bathrooms and balconies that stand up to steam and humidity.
- Material options
- Moisture-resistant gypsum board, cement board or PVC/aluminium panels for bathrooms.
- Design considerations
- Provide an access panel for exhaust fans, plumbing and AC drains.

Pricing considerations
What affects the cost
Ceiling cost depends on the area covered and the design complexity (plain, cove, multi-level or feature). Lighting cost depends on the number and type of fixtures and controls.
Questions
False Ceiling — FAQs
Does a false ceiling reduce ceiling height?
A cove or peripheral ceiling typically drops only around the edges, keeping the centre of the room at full height.
Warm white or cool white?
Warm white (around 2700–3000K) is common for living and bedrooms; neutral white works well for kitchens and study areas.
