Beamed Living & Kitchen

Exposed beams over a living room with a plastered fireplace, a dining area beyond it, and a kitchen finished in soft grey with an arabesque backsplash and open shelving in timber.

Beams like these are a decision, not a discovery. Whether they are structural or applied changes the framing, the ceiling height you end up with and the cost, and it is the first thing to establish rather than the last.
