Whether you have a vaulted, flat, or tray ceiling, a shiplap ceiling with wood beams is possible! Keep scrolling for five ideas to inspire your project.
1. Shiplap Vaulted Ceiling with Beams
The neutral tone of the shiplap vaulted ceiling paired with thick wood beams of the same color gives this bedroom a refreshing, airy feel. The black chandelier hanging from the center beam pops against the light-colored ceiling.
Pro Tip: Barron Designs’ faux wood beams are hand-crafted to capture the nicks, notches, and grain patterns of real wood, without the expense. Lightweight faux beams make it easier and safer to install on any ceiling, including a high vaulted ceiling like this one.
Although this beam is no longer available, explore our wide range of alternative options to find the perfect fit for your space!
