Why You Should Consider Faux Beams for Your Space

Exposed ceiling beams have a rustic charm that has stood the test of time. They add a unique sense of character that reminds us of the warm and comfortable aesthetic of country homes.

Unfortunately, wood ceiling beams are expensive and rarely necessary for structural purposes. However, there is a solution that allows decorators to incorporate wooden beams into contemporary spaces.

Faux beams are designed to resemble real wooden beams in their appearance, texture, and even size. Manufacturers use a variety of materials to accurately replicate the color and grain of real wood.

What are the Advantages of Faux Beams?

Real wood beams are also extremely heavy, which makes them costly and difficult to install. Faux beams replicate the look and feel of natural wood beams without the cost and hassle. Not only are the beams themselves much less expensive, but they are also much easier to install.

Faux beams are also much easier to maintain. The materials do not rot, crack, or warp over time which can be the case with natural wood.

Finally, faux beams are versatile. There are a massive number of options available. You get to choose the size, color, and grain. If there is a specific style you’re looking for, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to find it.

Because faux beams are hollow, they can easily be used as an attractive covering for wiring and ugly support beams on your ceiling. The beams are not limited to the ceiling, either. You can use them to accentuate a fireplace, doorway, or any other project you can think up.

So, where should you start?

Whether you are planning on a full ceiling renovation or want to add some minor accent pieces to change the look of a room, there are a few things you should check out first.
