We focus so much time and energy on the interior design of a room—from furniture and accessories to lighting and flooring—we often forget to take the ceiling into consideration. Now more than ever before, homeowners are looking up and using exposed beams to turn the ceiling into a focal point. Thanks to the popularity of open floor plans with extra ceiling height, this trend works well in both modern and traditional homes. Whether you like the look of crisp white or rustic stained wood, you won’t be disappointed with these eye-catching beams.
