Surely, when many of us mention a rural house, a picture of a room with a stove, wooden rafters and peculiar beams on the ceiling pops up in our heads. Today, these features of the buildings in which our ancestors lived have made their contribution to the world of design. Therefore, those who would like to recreate a rural theme in their country house or dacha tend to decorate it with ceiling beams or rafters, since not everyone likes a stove.
Decorative beams have recently become one of the most popular finishing materials, capable of unusually transforming a room. They are successfully used to decorate apartments, houses, offices, and public buildings. But still, the design of a room with beams in a country house looks most harmonious. Such a light rural note creates an atmosphere of comfort, warmth and cordiality in the interior. Although this decorative element would be quite appropriate in a city apartment.
Decorative polyurethane beam
If your house is built, say, of brick, and not of natural timber, but you still want to decorate it in a rustic style, there is a great way to solve this problem – polyurethane decorative beams. This material has many advantages over its wooden counterparts. Firstly, they are much cheaper. Secondly, in appearance they are practically no different from wood. Thirdly, decorative beams are much lighter in weight, so they are easier to fix with screws and glue.
In addition, this environmentally friendly material does not rot and is not destroyed by parasites. Therefore, quite often you can find decorative beams on the ceiling in the interior of the kitchen or dining room.

They serve as an original addition to the interior, and very successfully help to hide various communications from view. Decorative false beams (or hollow beams) are especially good for this, which can be placed on the ceiling and walls, giving the room a special charm. Behind them you can easily hide cables, ventilation ducts or small pipes. But the best part is that the price of such functional decor is quite reasonable.

Using decorative beams you can eliminate the feeling of coolness and emptiness in a room with very high ceilings. It is enough to install rafters (if the ceiling design allows) or hang beams at a more suitable level using chains or slats and the ceiling will be perceived as lower. You can also hang a couple of stylish lamps on it.
