Design Inspiration: Wood Beam Ceilings

In theater, the audience is referred to as the fourth wall. When it comes to in interior design the ceiling is sometimes known as the fifth wall. Adding architectural elements to what is often just a boring, blank space is a great way to add visual interest to a room and wood beams are definitely on trend right now.

Gorgeous ceiling inspiration and ideas.

    I didn’t know that the fifth wall existed until now, but I do love exposed beam ceilings. I always have. They make homes look more elegant and often come with high ceilings that make the rooms feel bigger. As an added benefit, you can also use them to hang a hammock chair, and to make really cool sheet forts for your kids.
