What is a Faux Beam Ceiling?

A faux beam ceiling is a type of design where decorative beams are added to the ceiling to mimic the appearance of real exposed timber. While they are made from real wood, they are not structural and are hollowed out to make them lighter and easier to work with. Faux beams won’t require additional load bearing requirements, warp over time, or risk insect damage, and can be finished with a stain or painted to suit your style.

Features of Faux Beam Ceilings

Faux beam ceilings can help to brighten your space, offering classic old-warm charm and visual appeal to your room. They can be installed to run along the width or the length of a room, or they can be used to divide two adjoining spaces. Faux beams can also be painted with an accent colour if you are looking to create added depth and dimension.

Faux beams are available in a range of different profiles, which can evoke various styles. For a rustic look, beams with a rough-hewn, distressed or reclaimed appearance can be used, while a traditional design might feature more refined and polished profiles. This effect can be further accentuated with intentional choices like specific staining to replicate antique wood tones.

Enhance Your Ceiling

Adding faux beams can enhance the character of your room, making it feel more cozy and rustic or more dramatic and grandiose depending on your design choices. If your ceiling has any unsightly elements such as ductwork, pipes, or wiring, faux beams can also be used to cover these elements and improve the look of your ceiling.

Cultivate a Rustic or Traditional Look

Faux beam ceilings excel at cultivating a rustic or traditional look for your space. They fit well with other design elements that contribute to this aesthetic, such as fireplace mantels, hardwood floors, or antique furniture. Depending on your choice of wood, profile, or finishing, these design elements can be used to evoke the specific look you’re searching for.

Flexible Finishing

A bespoke faux beam ceiling offers a high level of flexibility when it comes to finishing options. From the specific profile of the beams themselves to your choice of stains or paints, there are virtually limitless possibilities when it comes to your choice of finishing. This versatility allows you to consciously craft a design that will fit the specific style of your space.
