I‘d rework the whole design to deemphasize that beam. is it a steel girder? It looks awfully large, but maybe it’s just the photo. I’m wondering if there is any dead soace around - if it might be possoble to re-encase and make it look smaller? because then you coild go woth tje suggestion to add a few more (fake) ones and make it more of a feature. what are the actualy dimensions?
It’s not that the beam is so awful— it isn’t. But a new kitchen is a pretty huge expense and you are leaving the gate with a major aesthetic issue.
