ceiling beam
Structural roof support
A ceiling beam is a horizontal structural member that spans the width of a room, supporting the ceiling or floor above.
In older construction, ceiling beams are often exposed and visible from below: The farmhouse kitchen had rustic wooden ceiling beams.
Modern homes sometimes add decorative beams for aesthetic effect even when not structurally necessary.
