When decorating a home, most simply stick to furniture, frames, and some flooring options. Some of the most attractive elements that really change up the space, like architectural features are often neglected or never even made to be a consideration. Below, learn what exposed timbers and beams can do for home, since they are some of the most impressive elements that can provide that all-important wow factor.
The fact that the beams and timbers are exposed to the naked eye makes them extremely visible. They draw the eye upwards to the ceiling, which is often neglected. This addition can be architecturally stunning, as they hover over a bed, a sofa, or a dining table. Because they add so much warmth, they are especially in demand and remodeling projects.
One needn't worry about shapes, sizes, lengths, or even wood species. No matter what, they can lend a unique appearance to any space. They can also come in the form of reclaimed wood. This is an environmentally friendly option. However, they could be completely new. In the case of reclaimed wood beams, which are extremely in demand, they lend an older and weathered appearance that can work in almost any decor scheme.
Regardless of that fact, timbers exposed add style to a space that's otherwise empty. Making the sedition will allow the ceiling to shine. From there, add the right color to brighten up the room. Choosing darker ceiling colors could be recommended in the case of extremely high ceilings, as they would appear to lower the high ceilings, but they should not be used on standard or lower ceilings as they would make the room dimmer.
Vivid colors can sometimes be overpowering depending on the rest of the decor. However, light pastels can really raise the ceiling, especially when contrasted by deeper shades of the same color on the walls. Making the ceiling beamed makes it an architectural feature that will provide a unique look and feel to the space.
This addition may not be for everyone, mostly because they are weary of making the investment. Rest assured, however, that it would be a positive investment with many benefits. Consider just how much is going on in any room from approximately eye level and below. These are the regular additions when it comes to decorating, but most ceilings, with the exception of crown moldings, are usually left bare.
For example, consider an all white modern design scheme that includes white walls and white furniture. Imagine exotic rich flooring and a splash of colorful artwork on the walls. Now, while this is very sophisticated and austere, imagine the contrasting rich browns in the overhead beams. What an exciting decor!
When it comes to decorating, think of everything that's available and try to think outside the box. While this could be a greater investment, it will be one that provides the wow factor people want, and will definitely increase property value. That's also important when decorating, as people should invest to get a great return on their investment. It's not only a decor issue, but one that also makes business sense. We must keep in mind that our homes are an actual investment beyond a place where we live.
