How to choose the best POP design for your hall

  • Check ceiling height. Below 9.5 feet, keep to a simple border. Higher ceilings can take multiple levels.
  • Plan around the fan. The fan should hang from the main slab with enough clearance from any step.
  • Light in layers. Cove for ambience, spotlights for art and reading, a central fitting for general light.
  • Match the room style. Simple POP for modern halls; mouldings and domes for traditional rooms.
  • Fix seepage first. POP cracks quickly on a damp slab.

Materials and rough cost factors

  • Design complexity: borders cost less than layered or curved designs.
  • Framing: GI framing is more durable than wood.
  • Lighting: LED strips, spotlights and profile lights add cost.
  • Finishing: sanding, primer and paint.
  • Area: priced per square foot.
