The 5th Wall….

Exposed ceiling beams can take an ordinary room and make it remarkable. Even if they’re painted over, exposed beams immediately add character to a room. They draw the eye up, making the space feel larger, creating individual flair and architectural interest to your home without taking up any square footage.

What’s your preferred style? Which exposed beams do you like best?…..
