Wood beams, custom finish

This home upgrade will have you beaming with pride

If you’re looking for ideas to make your home stand out, decorative wood beams are a great way to add dimension and give your home a unique touch. They not only provide visual appeal, but also add a rustic charm that works with various architectural styles. And if you’re building from the ground up, you can easily plan to incorporate real wood beams.

Interior wood beams work particularly well in spaces with high or vaulted ceilings, homes with dark trim and flooring, and in rustic or modern designs. With Johnson Brothers, your options for decorative wooden beams are virtually endless. We offer a range of styles, species, colors, and accessories, ensuring you find the perfect fit for any project. Whether it’s a remodel or a new build, we’ll help you every step of the way.

When choosing real wood beams for your home, there are several species to consider, each offering varying levels of strength, cost, and availability. Popular choices include white pine, red and white oak, Douglas fir, cypress, and cedar. Douglas fir is renowned for its strength and durability while other species like white pine, cypress, and cedar can be more budget-friendly.

Solid beams and boxed beams each have distinct attributes. Solid wood beams deliver authenticity but can be quite heavy, salvaged beams bring a historic charm. For those looking for a lighter alternative, boxed wood beams made from three pieces of lumber reduce weight and cost. Boxed beams offer an affordable option for those who desire the look of real wood beams without the expense.

When it comes to finishing, natural wood beams can be stained, painted, or left in their raw form, depending on your style preference. For homeowners looking to add a little extra flair, beam accessories can include brackets, plates, straps, light fixtures, or even wooden shelves. These touches can elevate the look of your beams no matter the design aesthetic.

At Johnson Brothers, we offer a wide range of decorative wood beams and accessories, from solid wood beams to boxed beams. We pride ourselves on using sustainable foresting practices, thanks to our trusted suppliers like Disdero and Fypon.
