Faux Wooden Beams

Yesterday, we posted a Facebook album of projects we completed using faux wooden beams. We were so excited about sharing them with our followers, we wanted to delve deeper into why you’ll love them so much!

If you’re decorating (or re-decorating) your home, there can be a lot of expenses, some of them even unexpected. While the cost of re-vamping your style can get expensive quickly, there are definitely areas where you can cut corners and save money.

One of these ways is by cutting the cost of buying wood beams. Wooden beams can add a unique and rustic look to your home, but they can be expensive and incredibly difficult to install. Instead of buying real wood, consider faux wooden beams for your home. They give the exact same look but are less expensive, easy to install, and actually last longer than real wood beams.

The best part: nobody will even know the difference.

Most faux wooden beams are typically made from polyurethane. This is an ideal material for faux wooden beams for many reasons. First of all, by avoiding real wood beams for your home, you’re actually doing some good for the environment. You’re saving trees while using products that have been proven to be safe for nature, who doesn’t like that?

With faux wood, you can also be sure that weather and any unfortunate bug infestations won’t ruin your beams. Termites and soggy home décor in your house? No thanks!

We mentioned before that faux wood beams look just like the real thing, and it’s true. They can be made to look like any type of wood that you could desire for your home, and in any color you want. These beams provide the same texture and look that anyone would search for in their decorating journey.

Another great reason to ‘go faux’ is the fact that polyurethane beams are much easier to install than real wood. It can be done by you and one other person without much effort at all, and you don’t even need to be a secret handyman to get it done right! Not only will you save time by installing your beams yourself, but you’ll save money by not hiring professionals. And if you ever want to take them down or move them to another room, it’s as simple as unscrewing them from their current location.

Last, but not least, we mentioned that you can save money by using faux wood beams in your home, and it’s true. You’ll get the same rustic and homey look that you want in your house without having to break the bank.

You can order faux wooden beams online at your own convenience, but they’re even available at hardware and decoration stores all over the country.
