ABOUT WESTGATE INTERIORS

― Our Story

For more than 30 years, Westgate Interiors has been reimagining and reshaping corporate interior across Sri Lanka.

In 1987, its founder, Dehara Gomes, identified a need for highly functional, full-service interior solutions that would be easily accessible to fast growing corporations. Embracing the rapid transformation of interior trends across the corporate sector, Westgate Interiors quickly established itself as an innovator.

As its portfolio of clients grew so did the scope of its ambitions, and Westgate Interiors seized the opportunity to create better value for its clients by establishing an in-house manufacturing facility to produce its designs. As a result, Westgate Interiors can offer a seamless end-to-end service that guarantees not only the best quality but also the best customer service. From the initial exchange of ideas at our first consultation through to manufacturing at our purpose-built facility in Panadura and beyond to fit-out and after-sales care, Westgate Interiors supports its clients every step of the way. We understand that people’s needs change and develop, and that is why we collaborate and innovate together with our clients throughout the process. This bespoke client-led approach produces authentic results that have become the hallmark of our craft.

We remain, at our heart, a family-run business now in its second generation of operation; proud of what has gone before but looking ahead to what is yet to come.

Since then, Westgate has carried out numerous projects for us varying in scope from refurbishment of a small boardroom to large scale turnkey projects.
