exposed beam
Bare ceiling timber
An exposed beam is a structural or decorative beam left visible rather than hidden behind a ceiling or wall.
Exposed beams appear in rustic, industrial, and open-concept design: The loft featured original exposed beams from the old warehouse.
They may be genuinely structural or purely aesthetic—added to suggest architectural character.
