Design Tip of the Week (8.30.10): Beam Me Up

Install or expose beams to add an interesting architectural element to what could be just a plain ceiling. So whether you are exposing what you have or adding beams just for effect, its a great way to bring people's eyes up. Perfect for a flat or peaked ceiling. You can stain the wood to contrast your wall color or paint the beams the same color. Beams are cozy, they add warmth to a room, and sometimes spicing up the architecture of the inside of your home is all the decorating you need.
