Where is the droushka? From England
Typical architectural detail of English houses of the XVIII - XIX centuries are the ceiling beams. Traditionally, the bleached ceiling of houses in the good old England was decorated with powerful beams made of natural wood, which eventually darkened even more.
Beams on the ceiling personified the conservative and pedantic severity of the English style. But once, having slightly changed the strict design and appearance, the ceiling beams safely moved into the interior of our modern country houses.
Released to freedom of the ceiling, the bearing beam brought on its worn shoulders, and continues to bring animation to the interior of a strict or primitive room. And all thanks to the advice of the Master, who graciously shared the secrets of creating decorative beams on the ceiling of the house.
Stylish ceiling beams in the interior
The trivial design of the beam on the ceiling gives rise to the idea of a solid construction of a village house, so when creating an interior in the style of "provence" or "country" is the most appropriate element. The wood beams on the ceiling are distinguished by some roughness of processing and pronounced texture of the wood.
Of course, to create a common interior, it is necessary that the beams correspond to the style and overall color solution of the room.
If you are planning to design a private house in the style of loft or high-tech, then the presence of beams will be appropriate and compulsory. The combination of beams of "metallic" color with brickwork is actual today.
An interesting solution for the kitchen can be a convenient device with suspensions - railing, which is reliably suspended on the carrier element.
Helpful Tips
The solid construction of the ceiling beams "pulls" a lot of attention visually. Especially it is palpable in a room where there is a contrast of colors: on a white background of a ceiling the dark color of the beams. If you decide to focus on this, then the dark color of the beams will be appropriate.
Decorating the interior of the house in the classical style, preference is best given to the beams with a smooth or lacquered surface. It is possible to decorate the beams with carving or painting, as well as bright illumination, which will emphasize the undying classics.
It is necessary to recall that beams ceiling decorative are a functional element of decoration.
This means that the hollow of the decorative beam will perform certain functions: adjust the height of the ceilings of the room and be a convenient stand for the placement of fixtures.
Helpful Tips
It is noted that the strict geometry of the beam structure can change the height and width of the room. So, for example, for a narrow and long room it is recommended to place beams on the width of the room in order to break visually the length of the walls. Therefore, the ceiling beams in the interior of the bedroom, living room or attic room must be carefully, carefully assessing the "weight" of the ceiling beam structure.
By the way, real solid wooden beams are imposing and powerful structures, which are recommended to install in private houses at the stage of general construction. Producing mounting solid beams in modern small apartments is ridiculous and terribly expensive. Therefore, it is possible to imitate wood beams by using polyurethane beams as decorative ones.
Decorative beams - what is it?
A qualitative imitation of beams made of wood can be made from their analogue - polyurethane beams. The appearance and texture of beams of polyurethane (false beams) can be varied: either smoothly polished, polished and coated with special lacquer beams or beams with the effect of aging.
This will depend on the chosen style of the interior and your idea of the construction of beams ceiling. The weight of polyurethane beams, in comparison with wooden beams, is insignificant. Therefore, an independent process of erection by one or two people
Beams decorative have many advantages:
• Insignificant weight of beam elements does not increase the load of the entire supporting structure
• The hollow internal structure allows you to successfully hide defects in the surfaces of the ceiling, remove electrical wiring or other communications
• the ability to make the installation yourself.
Unconventional length of decorative beams 2,1 and 4,2 m allows you to combine them with minimal trimming. There are several sizes of the cross-section of the beams and the basic colors of the finish of the outer surface and the ends.
And if you add that in its stylish appearance, decorative ceiling beams are no different from natural wood, then the benefits of decorative beams should not be kept quiet. The most popular models of decorative beams are:
• natural tree view (rustic surface) "Rustik"
• refined and refined ever-alive "Classics"
• creative and stylish "Modern".
So, for example, decorative beams COSCA DECO will give the living room a unique taste and color of the Romantic era. In addition, the size and cross-section of beams allows to mask engineering communications, rafter systems and elements of vertical support pillars.
The standard dimensions of decorative beams are convenient for the device, as a rule, after assembly works the percentage of material waste is minimal and is no more than 5%. At the same time, the number of docking spaces is insignificant.
How to make a beam with your own hands. Wizard Tips
We purchase planed timber from pine, 2.5-3.0 m in length, section from 80 to 120 mm, depending on the design height of the beam. In order to "choose" the inside of the soft wood from the bar, you can use a mud milling cutter or a metal brush.
Having removed soft wood fibers on all length of a bar, we make final grinding an emery disk.
This will remove the sharp corners. Then we select the paint and paint the outer part of the prepared beam. The color can be produced 2 times.
After the final drying of the place of the recessed fixture we decorate with putty on wood. Now the decorative beams can be installed on the ceiling.
