What it's made of
  • solid wood / veneer rafters
  • GI support frame
  • warm LED between rafters
  • recessed spots

A wooden rafter ceiling runs parallel timber beams across the slab, bringing the grounded warmth of traditional Indian and colonial homes into a modern flat. Concealed warm LEDs tucked between the rafters wash the ceiling so the grain glows in the evening. It suits drawing rooms and villa lounges that want natural texture; in humid coastal cities, choose treated veneer over solid wood to resist monsoon swelling. You can switch finishes to compare looks before deciding.
