POLL: Exposed beams or painted beams?
Q
Comments (11)
I chose other because I think it depends on the building. Both photos above (and Victoria Harrison's with her post) are gorgeous and building appropriate - is there anything worse than exposed beams in the wrong setting? Maybe painted ones in the wrong setting, lol! Either way, in the wrong setting exposed or painted beams send the wrong message.

I love the colours! I would go for mid century furniture, so medium dark wood. Would look stunning! Or, for brightly coloured ones or even antiques painted black. Let us know, I would love seeing the results! X

@queenofsuccess - I'm getting a better picture now, so we are looking for something that would keep the design in the contemporary brackets, but with a good dollop of homely warmth right? How about if you had the cream tiles around the kitchen area only, so from the white cabinets to the island, then from the brown ladder units to the island too and around it, so that the stools are on tiles. Sort of like a pavement, that would clearly separate the clean kitchen area from a nice hardwood floor in the rest of the room? In this case I would choose the colour of the wooden floor to contrast with white kitchen and cream tiles, but also to work with the walnut ladder units. I know you said your husband would like something light and I can totally understand him there. Light colours would definitely make the room brighter. When it comes to warmth I would suggest a nice oak panel, something along the lines of this: It is quite a challenge to make your idea work flawlessly. We have white kitchen units with near white worktops, part of the floor in cream tiles, walnut kitchen units and you want a fairly light hardwood floor to bring warmth into the room. I think that the only way to solve it well, would be if you could provide as much information on the final decor you want to achieve, the size of the room, natural light sources (i.e. windows, doors etc.), so we can try to find a best fit that will blend in with everything and work for you. Why don't you e-mail me at office@blackoakbuilders.co.uk so we can start putting some mood boards together and collaborate on ideas a bit closer?

I would say that sanding them back, may not be an option. You can only do this if they have actually been painted. If they have been stained or anything used on them that penetrates the wood, then you will have no option but to paint them. You will not be able to sand the stain out. Unless you really want to take days and days and days attempting to get it off, presuming it's paint and that you are prepared to have to do a lot by hand getting the paint out of every little crack, don't start. Even if it is paint, it will have gone in to every little nook and cranny and I can't think it will be easy to get it out. After all, it's not planed timber. So you won't be working on a smooth surface. Thus, the sand blasting may be your only sensible choice.
