beam ceiling

Timber-crossed roof interior

A beam ceiling has exposed wooden beams visible from below, whether structural supports or decorative additions.

The beams may be original to older construction or installed purely for aesthetic effect in newer buildings: The farmhouse had a beautiful beam ceiling in the living room.

Also called a beamed ceiling.
