In the past, we may have associated wooden beams with the pitched timber roofs of the more traditional village houses. Today, however, wooden beams are quite often used as a decorative feature, even in plain ceilings.
Wooden beams have a place in every room of the house. Their presence creates a welcoming mood and a pervasive sense of warmth. Above all, they give a space a distinctive character that is a perfect match for lovers of rustic and industrial decor styles.

Depending on the type, colour and texture of the wood (varnished or not, and so on), the result can vary considerably. This means wooden beams can be worked into the decor of both country houses and modern homes.
