Exposed Ceiling Beams: 12 Warm And Rustic Rooms With Ceiling Beams

Exposed ceiling beams can immediately add warmth and charm to any dull room. Mostly used in country or beach homes they can also be used, when painted, in more urban rooms. Either painted or left in natural wood color, its architectural statement even though pretty impressive, is down to earth and relaxed. We were lucky when we found our home, it came with a room with original beams in the ceiling. As most of the things in the house they had a very 70’s feel, they were in natural wood color, the same as the paneling in the room. I painted them in a dark white paint the same color as the rest of the wood trim around the house.

For any room with no architectural details, exposed beams can be an easy way to add just that missing element that will make that room more interesting. Real solid beams could be costly but when compared to the permanent architectural difference that it brings to the room, it’s worth every penny. There is also the less pricey option of faux ceiling beams.

So many different elements combined in this room above, gorgeous wooden bookcases, white painted thin ceiling beams, black and white floor, dark metal furniture and brass… Love it! The beams in this charming room works as the element that ties all together.
