As with some other materials for home decorating, you can purchase fake or faux wood beams that bring the same feel to the room for a fraction of the cost of real wood beams.

Let’s take a look at some of the unique design trends that you could use fake wood beams to help bring the rustic feel into your home.

 


 

Why Should You Choose Faux Wood Beams vs. Real Wood Beams?

Some people will opt forreal wood beams because they are authentic. Those same people may be afraid that fakewood beams may show their lack of authenticity and alert visitors to the fact that they are not real. However, this is not true. Faux wood beams are crafted from lightweight materials that look almost exactly like real wood beams. In fact, when the beams are used on ceilings, it would be almost impossible to get up close and personal to notice any differences.

Because the materials are lightweight, faux wood is easier to install than heavy solid wood and other wood products. They don’t require as many tools to install because they don’t weigh much. Allinall, you will get the same feel as real wood beams with less hassle and for less money with fake wood beams.

Vaulted Ceiling Family Room

Are you stressing out over what to do with your large family room? Do the vaulted ceilings make the space even larger with few options to do much about it? Well, your problem is easily solved with fake wood beams. The look of wood beams (fake or real) bring out the architecture of the home and allow the visualization of what’s underneath the sheetrock to come to life on the outside. This can help the space feel more inviting rather than vast and cold.

You could opt for a more intricate design as shown above or a simple design with single beams from one side of the room to the other. Whichever style you go for, you won’t regret adding some depth to your family room. These fake wood beams are easy to install and look just as great as real wood beams.

 


 

Bring it to the Bathroom

Some people forget that they spend a lot of time in their bathroom. It’s the first place you go in the morning and the last place you visit at night. So, if it’s such an important place during your daily routine, why isn’t treated as important? That can all change with fake wood beams. Many people struggle with what to do in the bathroom that will change much to the design. But, if you’re looking to add more rustic style into your home, the bathroom is an easy place to do that.

The nice thing about fake wood beams in the bathroom is you won’t need much material to achieve the look you’re going for. An already inexpensive job will be even more inexpensive if you choose to use fake wood beams in your bathroom. You could even use the wood beams to frame your bathroom mirror instead of putting them on the ceiling. The options are endless!

 


 

Frame It Out

Do you have large doorways that could use a touch of something? Are your windows or mirrors lacking framing? Fake wood beams could be your answer! Using fake wood beams to frame out larger door frames could make the space more of a focal point and/or get rid of the starkness plain walls can bring to a space. You might even have a wall between your kitchen and family room that doesn’t have any real definition to it that could benefit from fake wood beams on the borders.

Frame It Out

Whatever you’re looking to bring attention to, fake wood beams can do the job! They’re easy to install, easy to maintain, and very affordable.

There is nothing you can’t do with fake wood beams in your home, especially if you’re looking to bring a rustic, comfortable feeling in your spaces.
