Master bedroom & off center beam

Shelly T
4 years ago

We are combining two bedrooms into one larger bedroom and master bath. The wall that is between the two bedrooms is a load bearing wall. The beam that will take its place is off-center and close to the new wall that is now the master bathroom. You can see in the floor plan below, the position of the beam. We have 8ft ceilings and the beam will be 12 inches. Any advice? Do we add another beam and slap some faux wood around it for a beamed ceiling? We definitely want a ceiling fan so not sure if this is possible and whether it’s a good idea to add more stuff to an 8ft ceiling just to distract from the stupid beam. Will I even notice this once it’s built?
