Collection: Residential Faux Wood Beams

Choosing beams for a room

Most residential projects come down to three decisions, and getting them in the right order saves the most money.

• Size before style. A beam that is right for the look and wrong for the room reads as a mistake from the doorway. Work out the section and spacing for your ceiling height first — how to choose the right beam size.
• Then the profile. Box, hand-hewn, resawn, rough-sawn and axed all read very differently in the same room — choosing a beam style.
• Then the finish. Finishes are hand-applied and can be matched to flooring, cabinetry or existing trim — see textures and finishes.
