What Are Tray Ceilings?

Tray ceilings, sometimes called recessed or inverted ceilings, are architectural gems that add depth and dimension to any room. Picture a ceiling with a central section raised higher than its perimeter, creating a “tray-like” effect. This design not only enhances the visual appeal but also makes spaces feel larger and more luxurious. At Ron Hogan Drywall, we’ve perfected the art of installing tray ceilings, tailoring each one to suit your unique vision and the character of your home or commercial property.

Unlike flat ceilings, tray ceilings offer a dynamic look that draws the eye upward. They can be simple and modern or adorned with intricate details like crown molding, recessed lighting, or bold color contrasts. Whatever your style, our team ensures every tray ceiling we create is a seamless blend of form and function.

Why Choose Tray Ceilings for Your Space?

Tray ceilings aren’t just about aesthetics—they bring practical benefits too. Here’s why they’re a smart addition to your property:

Illusion of Height: In rooms with standard ceiling heights, a tray ceiling can make the space feel taller and more open, perfect for cozy bedrooms or compact living areas.
Architectural Interest: Tired of plain, flat ceilings? A tray ceiling adds character and a focal point that elevates your interior design.
Lighting Opportunities: Recessed lights or hidden LED strips tucked into the tray create a warm, inviting glow, enhancing ambiance and functionality.
Customization: From sleek, minimalist designs to ornate, classic styles, tray ceilings are endlessly adaptable to your taste.

At Ron Hogan Drywall, we’ve seen firsthand how tray ceilings transform spaces. Whether it’s a garage conversion in Byron, CA, or a commercial project in the Bay Area, our clients love the wow factor these ceilings bring.
