The Material Element: Making Your Faux Ceiling Beams the Feature
A great design option for both domestic and commercial purposes, faux beams for ceilings from Decorative Ceiling Tiles 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.
Faux Wood Beams: For Residential and Commercial Renovations
Whether you’re a passionate DIYer or a professional builder, Decorative Ceiling Tiles offers a range of accessories to ensure your faux wood beams are beautifully accented, structurally sound and long-lasting. While there are many price points for faux ceiling beams, they are considerably less expensive than natural timber beams. With textures including Hand Hewn, Sand Blast and Rough Sawn and colors ranging from soft gray and light sandy shades to deep warm chestnuts and browns, you’re sure to find the ideal accompaniment to your interior color palette.
Faux Ceiling Beams: Go for Bold
For an impactful ceiling design, consider opposing colors with a high contrast between the faux wood 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 wood 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 vibe to the room.
Understated and Chic: Natural-look Faux Wood Beams
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.
The Illusion of Space: Faux Ceiling Beams Add Depth and Height
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.
Look up! Exposed Faux Wood Beams are Here to Stay
Reminiscent of the 1960s and ’70s, ceiling beams continue to be a dramatic and beautiful interior style feature to add sophistication and structural elegance within residential and commercial spaces.
