Tray Ceiling Designs
Ceiling design is actually quite an important element in home architecture. It can make the difference between an open and airy feeling or a dark and closed-in space. It can make a room appear large or small, and can even effect the value of a house. There a variety of different ceiling styles to choose between, or you can even create something completely new and unique. Some of the top favorites are the vaulted ceiling, the cathedral ceiling, and the tray ceiling.
What is a tray ceiling?
A tray ceiling resembles an upside-down tray. The center is flat and slightly raised, with the sides sloping downward to meet the rest of the ceiling. An example of a tray ceiling would be a room with eight-foot ceilings. Towards one end or in the center is a portion that is nine-feet with sloped sides blending the two different heights.
How to finish a tray ceiling.
There are some exciting ways to finish a tray ceiling. The flat center allows for any number of different tiles and decorative panels. Trim the sides with decorative moldings, and paint a different color than the rest of the room.
The lighting possibilities for a tray ceiling.
Any type of raised ceiling, and tray ceilings in particular, are very conducive to different lighting designs as wells. This style provides a great location for a skylight or solar tube, recessed lighting or a decorative chandelier.
