What is a Tray Ceiling?
A tray ceiling, also known as a recessed ceiling, is a decorative ceiling feature that adds depth and visual interest to any space. Designed with a central section that is either higher or lower than the surrounding ceiling, tray ceilings create a layered effect that enhances architectural appeal and complements a variety of interior styles.
At Westline Ceilings, we specialise in custom tray ceiling designs for residential and commercial properties, offering expert craftsmanship and premium-quality finishes to transform interiors into stunning, sophisticated spaces.
