Once the legacy of repurposed warehouse or factory spaces, whereby new owners discovered they could use these incredibly striking skeletons to great effect, faux wooden ceiling beams can bring drama and a heightened sense of space to any room in your house, loft apartment or business.
Fortunately, you don’t have to go hunting for your own uninhabited storehouse or barn to introduce these stunning interior design elements into your home. Today, DecorativeCeilingTiles.net holds the modern, sustainable solution to your home renovation needs, with our ornamental range of faux wood beams.
Selecting the right faux wood texture for your new foam beams
A great design option for both domestic and commercial purposes, faux ceiling beams come in six grain textures and nine color finishes, made from lightweight High Density Foam (HDF).
Our range of faux beams has been produced with impressions of natural timber to ensure an authentic aesthetic. Rather than concealing this stunning design element, by introducing faux ceiling beams you can achieve warmth, texture and dimension to the upper plane of a room.
The love affair with farmhouse-style homes and industrial-inspired commercial spaces hasn’t waned in today’s architectural trends, offering the appealing scope for faux ceiling beams to add the feeling of height and space as well as natural light and acoustic benefits if you choose sound-absorbing materials. Referred to as cathedral ceilings, vaulted or pitched ceilings and exposed beams or rafters, they can be the crowning dramatic feature of any interior.

How to feature Faux Ceiling Beams in your home
For an impactful ceiling design that can be the main new feature of your home, consider opposing colors with a high contrast between the faux wooden beam finish and the ceiling color palette.
For strong visual impact, think Mediterranean-style, whereby softly molded, stained plaster walls and the straight architectural lines of the faux beams imbue the space with an earthy warmth, lending an unpretentious balance while upholding the bold visual appeal of the room. When complemented with dark natural tones in the flooring, furniture and upholstery, faux wood beams can add an outdoor woodland feel to the room.
Our range of foam faux beams, if closely matched to the ceiling color palette, offer a more muted interior style that encompasses comfort and a soft luxurious elegance. If you choose a light color palette, softer tones add a hint of structural style and offer a cohesive look to the dimensions of the room while remaining contemporary in appearance. In contrast, darker tones combined with somber-colored ceiling paint add depth and a raw structural expression to the interior scheme.
Creating the illusion of space by adding depth and height to your room
Faux box beam ceilings add the dynamic illusion of movement to your interior spaces. If lined up synchronously with the frame elements of the furniture within the room, such as a bed or table, the box style faux beams will lead the eye upwards along the width of the ceiling and along the outline back to the floor.
Box beams are reminiscent of historic palaces or forts and can imbue the interiors with an exotic faraway vibe. Smaller spaces, such as bathrooms or even an apartment kitchen can be enhanced with the eye-catching architectural elements of faux box beams to create the illusion of higher, deeper spaces. Alternatively, cavernous rooms are easily broken up with a row of faux ceiling beams. If a room with a vaulted ceiling is too austere or large, faux wood beams can make the space appear more cosy and welcoming. You can choose to tie together the features of a larger room by incorporating similar faux wood and natural timber accents.
Wrapping up: Exposed Faux Ceiling Beams are an impressive, timeless ceiling feature!
