How to Build and Install Faux Ceiling Beams | How To Anything

[@markeetea]

I really like this, could potentially use them as a base for ceiling lights too.

How beautiful ❤️ wish I was this handy and had all the tools 😮

[@KB-hs7vh]

Thanks for the information! 🤗 I’ve been wanting to do something like this in my home.

I wish there was a shot at the end showing the finished room. Also did you us glue between the seams or putty to hide the seams?

[@lowes]

We used wood glue with finish nails to hold it together, and filled with stainable wood filler to make sure everything was perfectly even.

You cut beam edges at a 45 then glue them

I love wood beams, a modern rustic look. I'd love to see a fireplace mantel also. Also, how to change out a glass door on the front of a fireplace. I painted by brick fireplace but it needs a wood mantel and a new glass door.

Great tutorial

[@budmonk2819]

I had this idea as well to house pot lights within these beams.

Finished picture would be nice.

It looks like you use something to cover the seams between the lengths of the full beams but I couldn't tell what you used could you put a link to what it is in the description and maybe tell how you installed it.

[@lowes]

They are called ceiling beam covers. You can choose from stick on version, or a bracket style that you can screw into the beam.

I think you're talking about a wood filler, it's a putty like tan colored that matches the wood color, well most.

OMG I've been looking for a video like this. I'm doing a victorian theme in my house, and the first floor has such a boring ceiling.

[@lowes]

What a great theme! Best of luck with your ceiling makeover.💙

How do u know what size beams you need ? I have 16’ ceilings and a 28’ run

[@lowes]

Hi there! Larger or thicker beams are what many use for higher ceilings, but the most important thing is making sure the beams are proportionate to the room size. You can always visit your local store so one of our design team associates can assist you further.

[@googleyoutubechannel8554]

This looks terrible, please DIYers, don't do this there are so many better ways.

[@christinecaturano7721]

agree. i cant believe they didn't miter the edges of the boards to make the box. looks terrible.

[@FranciscoGonzalez-ro7ht]

Disagree, this is just another design, a lot of people will like it, plus is super easy to do.

[@xenprovence6126]

In France, they don’t have faux ceilings, because faux ceilings are fake. That’s what the word means in French.

[@kacatriku]

What is the purpose of that? It doesn't make any difference... especially the dark color of the "thingy"

[@judybesse4058]

Not a fan of the stain color......

[@lowes]

Minwax offers stain colors in all sorts of colors and finishes, so you can pick the color that best accents your home and style!
