myfs_104605 Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Hi In order to create some unique design to my master bedroom, half of the ceiling was covered by false ceiling. I understand that it's not favourable to place thebed under a beam but not too sure for false ceiling constructed this way. My bedroomis quite small so my bed would definitely be placed under it.My mum was really unhappy over it and keep stressing that it's bad for us. Attached is a photo of the false ceiling.Please advice. Thanks & regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 8, 2004 Staff Share Posted July 8, 2004 Dear Zan, Yes, in my opinion, there are two sides of the coin on your false ceiling:- 1. Asthetically, many of us read too much on Feng Shui. And based on visual look and feel, it "reminds" many people of a "beam". 2. On the other side of the coin, this is often, in my opinion, more to do with cosmetic look rather than a real impact on us. Since, this is a light weight material and unlike a concentrated beam e.g. several inches by several inches, this is flat half-way round. So whether, are you going to be "mentally" affected by it, depends on you. Some practitioners would advice buying two flutes and placing each on either side (let the flute be in a vertical) position on each side "holding-up" the false ceiling. This looks ugly Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 7/8/2004 7:17:15 AM, Anonymous wrote:HiIn order to create some uniquedesign to my master bedroom,half of the ceiling wascovered by false ceiling.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 12, 2015 Staff Share Posted September 12, 2015 In practise false ceilings are usually made of light-weight materials and considered as non-load bearing.
