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.
One needn't worry about shapes, sizes, lengths, or even wood species. No matter what, they can lend a unique appearance to any space. They can also come in the form of reclaimed wood. This is an environmentally friendly option. However, they could be completely new. In the case of reclaimed wood beams, which are extremely in demand, they lend an older and weathered appearance that can work in almost any decor scheme.
Regardless of that fact, timbers exposed add style to a space that's otherwise empty. Making the sedition will allow the ceiling to shine. From there, add the right color to brighten up the room. Choosing darker ceiling colors could be recommended in the case of extremely high ceilings, as they would appear to lower the high ceilings, but they should not be used on standard or lower ceilings as they would make the room dimmer.
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.
While some may be weary, they can rest assured that almost any decor scheme can benefit from an architectural feature like this. There is always so much going on in a room from eye level and below. There are frames, furniture, and different flooring options. Most ceilings are left blank but have so much to offer if they are given the chance.
Consider a modern design scheme with white furniture, and an complementing white walls. While this look can be very sophisticated and attractive, think of how much more impact it would have with overhead beams of a contrasting color, such as rich browns. Automatically, this would evoke interest and appeal.
It's important to think outside the box when decorating. Certainly, the addition of these architectural features are a bigger investment than perhaps a rug, but it's also the wow factor but changes of the space immediately. In addition to that, considering it is an architectural feature, it will have a positive impact on property value. That said, homeowners should consider just how important it is to think of our homes as investment properties as well as the place in which we reside.
