The Benefits Of Exposed Timbers And Beams

By Elaine Guthrie


When it comes to decorating the home, people often think of furniture and frames mounted on walls. They often tend to neglect some of the most attractive elements or additions that could provide the wow factor in any space. One of the most impressive elements could be as easy as installing exposed timbers and beams.

Beams and timbers which are exposed to the naked eye means that they are completely visible. These could definitely be simply decorative, while they can also be the real bones of the home or the structure. Whatever the case, they provide an architecturally stunning feature wherever they may hover. Consider adding them either in a bedroom, the living room or the dining room. The fact that they are so warm and attractive has made them quite popular in remodeling projects.

No matter what the size of the room, no matter what its design, there is wood that is suitable to that space. One could also opt for exposed timbers in the form of reclaimed wood. Being an eco-friendly option that looks old and weathered provides a stunning addition in almost any decor scheme. However, always be sure to purchase reclaimed wood by certified vendors.

Whatever the case, the exposed timbers add a certain style to an otherwise emptiness overhead. This will enable the ceiling to shine in its own right. Adding the right color paint is a good start that will make a dull room brighter, or maybe an extremely high ceiling seem lower. Dark ceiling colors should be avoided on lower ceilings, as they absorb too much light and render a room much more dim.

On the other hand, vivid colors can work, but can also, depending on the case, be very overpowering. Lower ceilings can definitely benefit from light pastel colors which could raise the ceiling, so to speak. Being creative with colors on the ceiling is one thing, but nothing can compare to a beamed ceiling and the unique look it provides as it becomes an architectural feature.

Certainly, some may be wary about such an addition because they aren't certain that it would suit their decor scheme. It's definitely an architectural feature that will provide something more than just items from eye level and below. All too often the ceilings are a blank canvas that have so much to offer, given the chance.

For example, consider an all white modern design scheme that includes white walls and white furniture. Imagine exotic rich flooring and a splash of colorful artwork on the walls. Now, while this is very sophisticated and austere, imagine the contrasting rich browns in the overhead beams. What an exciting decor!

When it comes to decorating, think of everything that's available and try to think outside the box. While this could be a greater investment, it will be one that provides the wow factor people want, and will definitely increase property value. That's also important when decorating, as people should invest to get a great return on their investment. It's not only a decor issue, but one that also makes business sense. We must keep in mind that our homes are an actual investment beyond a place where we live.
