What happens here
After the new structural elements are installed, you can integrate them into the room's design. The video shows examples of exposed timber beams and posts that become a focal point, adding character and warmth to the space. Alternatively, support beams can be hidden within the ceiling structure by framing around them with drywall, creating a seamless look. The choice depends on the desired aesthetic and architectural style of the home.
Goal: Integrate new structural elements into the home's design
