Led lighting running on both sides of each of the beams - you can buy it in strips. I would go for a bright white but you can even get it in colours and or changing colours. I would also do the same along the floor under the cabinets and perhaps between the upper cabinets and bench top.

Hi You will always see the joins if you look closely. There are two trains of thought . One is to make it a feature or try hiding it . The carport ceiling is hardie groove. Andrew

Hi I am helping my poor sister sort out her husbands garage and we need ceiling storage racks which are going above and beside the garage door. Do you have them in New Zealand. The space in between the garage chain is 1.80 long but the one on the side can only be 1.40 long

Hi Everyone, I always thought that the standard for ceiling gib in NZ was 13mm. Today we received our plans from a builder and it specifies the use of 10mm for BOTH walls and ceilings. After a quick www search it seems that 13mm ceiling gib is a strong recommendation, not the NZ standard. If you can clarify this, I'd appreciate hearing back, or if you have used 10mm, did it ever sag? Any further advice is appreciated. Cheers Fred.
