The impact of different ceiling beam sizes

The thickness depends on the overall effect you want to achieve. Different thicknesses can even be combined for interesting effects. Larger beams, for instance, will make the ceiling feel a little lower, making the space feel a bit cozier. On the other hand, if you would rather add some elegance to the ceiling without bringing it down, then thinner beams might work better for you.

You should also know that thicker beams will look larger in a smaller space, so if you want to avoid a crowded feeling in bedrooms or other areas with low square footage, then it would be best to stick to a smaller beam. On the other hand, more open areas with high ceilings might be most benefited by larger sizes.

Choosing the right ceiling beam texture

Rustic and hand-hewn textures give the appearance of a frontier home, adding a bit of cozy roughness to the home that harkens back to olden times. Our majestic texture, on the other hand, adds a more high-class feel.

Regardless of the texture you choose, you will always add a highly realistic accent that resembles real wood.

Finding the best ceiling beam color

The tone you choose will need to coordinate with your home’s color scheme in order to create the right effect. Overall, dark against light (and light against dark) will stand out a great deal. Darker colors work well with whitewashed ceilings to create a stark contrast that is pleasing to the eye. A mid-range color will create a homey feeling, while lighter woods can work with a bright color scheme.

Faux wood beams for kitchens

Simple straight beams across the ceiling can create a western “adobe” feeling, while a truss system can bring a vaulted kitchen ceiling a little closer to earth. Patterned effects with lighter colored beams can create a stylishchicer atmosphere for a modern kitchen.

Faux wood beams for entryways

Tall, vaulted ceilings in entryways can be brought down a little closer to earth with a trussed approach, making the home feel more welcoming to visitors as they walk in the door. Conversely, a domed effect with intersecting beams can create a “wow” factor as you welcome visitors, letting them know that your home values class and grandeur.

Faux wood beams for living rooms

Trusses create an old-fashioned rafters feel while using beams to form patterns can help complement ceiling fans and light fixtures. In living rooms with higher ceilings, ribbing the surface with decorative beams can create a vaulted appearance.
