White Kitchens with Wood Beams

It’s hard not to love exposed wooden beams, especially in a white kitchen. Although the primary job of wooden beams was to support the kitchen’s roof with added structure, they now find their presence in kitchens—both farmhouse and modern—to create a rustic effect. Rough and rugged, wooden beams add depth, character, and texture to a white kitchen by either contrasting or matching existing décor. They accentuate the ceiling and reinforce the dreamy feel and coziness of a farmhouse kitchen.

Besides making a rustic statement, adding wooden beams in your kitchen comes with other benefits. They help draw the eye upward, making your kitchen look more spacious without occupying extra square footage. Here’s a collection of white kitchens with exposed wood beams that’ll inspire you to bring this trend to your kitchen ceiling.

24 Immaculate Living Room Ideas Without Coffee Tables

Furniture selection can make or break intentional interior design and, as such, we have gathered numerous living room ideas without coffee tables to help you weigh the pros and cons of this specific room layout. Coffee tables have substantial benefits, but they aren’t necessary in every setting. Especially in a home with little bodies, the corners can pose a danger due to their sharp corners, and the decorations on top of them can quickly be misplaced with wandering hands.

Instead of a heavy table, maximize the opportunity for open space by selecting a cozy ottoman, or a statement rug. A popular furniture arrangement is placing a sofa directly across from accent lounge chairs. The absence of a coffee table ensures open space for cheerful conversation and allows direct access to the television or fireplace. We know that you’ll be inspired by these creative displays of original room layouts and hope to motivate your next update!
