Not sure about the difference between recessed, raking and skillion?

Join John as he takes us on a tour of some of our favourite display homes and shares his insider tips on the features and benefits of different ceiling styles.
Johns three top tips for creating space and volume
Recessed Ceilings
Recessed ceilings can be used in home theatre rooms, lounge rooms, main living areas and also in the master suite.
Colours, materials and textures
The application and use of different colours in recessed ceilings can be added to create additional layers to accenturate the overall feeling of the space.
Alternative Feature Options
Alternative feature options include:
- Skillion ceilings: Instead of having two sloped sides that meet in the middle like you often see, skillion cielings have a single flat surface, generally with a significantly steeper slant and pitch. This gives home a more modern and contemporary look and feel.
- Raking ceilings: Not only do raked ceilings give your home a striking and creative feature, they also provide a more spacious feel, offering a great deal of height to your home which is great for air flow in the warmer months.
