After a recent trip to LA I’ve again fallen in love with exposed ceilings. While visiting some family friends I was reminded how striking they were when I walked in their front door and saw the wooden beams in contrast to the stark white ceiling. There’s just something so casually chic about looking up and seeing something besides a flat surface looming above my head.
No matter what room it’s found it, it effortlessly adds an element of depth and creativity to the living space that I just can’t get enough of.
I’d gladly follow these images in any of my rooms…
i’m not sure what it is about them, but i love exposed ceilings too! the more industrial-looking the better!! although the big beams that make the last photo look like an old barn are really pretty too <3shelby

Oh I love the 1st and last pictures. That chandelier adds such a nice touch to the room. And wow on that last picture! I usually see exposed beams closer to the ceiling, but I love how it hangs further down and the ceilings are soaring. WONDERFUL post!

The first image stole my heart!!!!! =)
Love the first one, it’s like a rustic box beam. I’m infatuated with them too. I feel like you don’t completely notice until you look up and it’s a whole separate room to look at!
I used to think exposed ceilings were beautiful only for high ceilings, but the third picture seems to break my rule!
i’m so with you on this one. i adore exposed ceilings and walls. and well done on these picture choices, they’re great.
Gorgeous! Love the first image. Thanks for visiting Inspired Design, I am now following you.
p.s. I am having a Ina Garten giveaway if you missed it. xo
