Exposed load bearing beams are becoming increasingly popular in modern interior design, adding a touch of industrial chic and architectural interest to any space. These beams, once hidden behind walls and ceilings, are now being showcased as a unique design element, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits.
According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), homes with exposed beams typically sell for 5-10% more than those without. These beams not only provide structural support but also enhance the overall value of your property.
