16. Install beams on your ceiling

Today, they sell fake wood beams much lighter than real wood. This is a cheaper and easier way to have beams on your ceiling to bring your home to look like an old house. Because of weight, some people believe they can do a DIY project with a few friends on Saturday afternoon. Even if your beam is lighter than usual, this is still a job that should be done by an expert.

Installing beams requires you to go upstairs or scaffolding, and it requires more than one person to get them safely in place. When searching for instructions online, some people took wooden beams and made a box to create fake beams. This might work if you have experience with woodworking, but it’s always best to work with an expert who knows what they’re doing.
