Exposed ceiling beams are stunning, this gallery shows you what they are, what they look like and examples of cove ceiling designs.

Favored for their old world and country-chic appeal, exposed ceiling beams add a dramatic sense of strength and heft to a room. If you love the look and plan to build a new home or add an extension, you can incorporate this structural component into your design. 

A wood beam ceiling is simply a stunning design idea that adds incredible texture, history, and interest to any room with a raised or vaulted ceiling. While you can use faux wood or new wood beams, don’t forget to check with your custom home builder about reclaimed wood if you want the most charm and character for your room design.
