Falsh beams

Wooden hollow beams give the room a special flavor. They bring the village simplicity and cosiness of a country house into city apartments. Thanks to them, several design tasks can be solved at once:

• visually "push" the ceiling;
• "Pull" the room in the direction of the beams;
• zoning the room;
• create clearly contrasting lines with the background of the ceiling, in harmony with the plinth, platbands and other elements of the situation;
• Place in the cavities wiring, fix the fixtures and develop a non-trivial lighting scenario.

       

The diverse shape of the hollow beams makes it ideal to mask pipes and cables.

When manufacturing false beams of natural wood with their own hands, it should be noted that during the shrinkage process, the seam connecting individual racks can disperse and become noticeable.

Tree colors

Choosing the color of the wooden ceiling should be guided by the overall color scheme of the room. The coating should fit in the interior and look harmonious in it. Finishing in dark shades is appropriate for good lighting in a room with high ceilings. In the reverse situation, it is better to choose light materials that visually push back the overlap, make it airy and unobtrusive.

       

Determining the color should be taken into account that when exposed to sunlight, the wooden elements may darken.

But if desired, wooden elements can be harmoniously inscribed in almost every room. Everything depends on the specific materials and imagination of the author of the design.

The ceilings made of wood give an unusual cosiness and originality to any home. In combination with the appropriate decor elements, this coating will look great.
