We often encounter the problem of beams being pressed against the top during decoration. Generally, there are two situations when beams are pressed against the top in home life. The first is the real beams, which are also the structural beams of the house. During the decoration process, the beams are not In the second case, the structure of the house itself has no beams, but during the decoration process, a beam was artificially decorated. In either case, the beam is clearly there and will make people feel uncomfortable over time.
Jin Yan is an art teacher. After half a year of decoration, her new house was finally completed. The living room and dining room spaces have a simple European feel. In the study room, there is a row of specially customized Chinese bookcases and calligraphy and painting cases by the window. At first glance, it looks very atmospheric and full of Chinese book fragrance. But the problem lies in this study room. The change in style can be understood as a mix and match. However, a large beam across the seat is really uncomfortable, especially if you sit here for a long time.
It turns out that there was originally a small balcony in this study. During the decoration, with the consent of the property owner, it was brought in and turned into an indoor space. A specially customized large mahogany calligraphy and painting desk is placed next to the window, which just fills up the small balcony that comes in. When people are reading, writing or drawing at the desk, the upper beam also happens to be pressing on the top of the head. It's okay if you don't notice it at first, but as time goes by, it becomes obvious. A few months later, Jin Yan began to regret it. In order to save some money, she hired a street decoration team introduced by a friend to do the decoration. She thought that the decoration master had "more than ten years" of decoration experience and she was an art teacher. Designing a house should be a piece of cake. Unexpectedly, after the decoration was completed, I discovered that there were problems here and there. Especially in this place that I like the most and use the most, there are such decoration flaws. The more I thought about it, the more I realized this place was unusable. There is a beam above your head, who would be comfortable sitting under it?
In fact, the pressure of the beams on the top is not entirely a matter of superstition or Feng Shui, because the airflow needs to move smoothly. If there are beams on the bed or sofa, the airflow will be blocked when it comes to the beams and be forced to press down. People under the beams who have been affected by the downward pressure of the airflow for a long time will naturally be greatly affected physically and psychologically. In addition, if there is something on the head or shoulder, it will affect the person's magnetic field, just like the seedlings growing under the tree.
Generally speaking, from a design perspective, if there are beams in the interior, they should be dealt with during decoration. The beams are basically invisible from the appearance, so people will not feel uncomfortable. Jin Yan's home has been renovated and used, but finding problems to solve will indeed cause inconvenience to her life. Moving the painting desk is very disruptive, and changing the location of the large painting desk will take up a lot of space. If there is a problem, it must be solved. Redesign the ceiling and install a ceiling to hide the visual sense and evil spirit of the beam.
The most convenient solution is to seal the space from the outside of the beam to the window, turn on four fluorescent LED downlights in pairs, and let the ceiling naturally float out to the indoor space of the beam, and add a light above it With the belt, the entire desk and chair has a flat ceiling shape, which is simple, beautiful and well-lit.
Because it is a custom-made ceiling for the study room, it is not suitable. It still needs to be processed on site, and the plumbers are asked to modify the circuits, and the carpenters are asked to make it on site. Finally, the painters are asked to paint and paint. It really fulfills the principle of "a sparrow may be small, but it has all the internal organs." Although the project is small, all procedures are still essential. After a lot of work, the on-site effect was much better than expected. Jin Yan was very satisfied, and it solved her minor "worry".
In home decoration, if the ceiling of the room is very smooth, it is not a bad thing. Do not forcefully add three or five large wooden strips on top to artificially create beams for the purpose of pursuing a country style or American style. If there are unavoidable building beams, try to hide them in the design through ceilings, door openings, partitions, etc., so as to avoid psychological stress when using them and renovating them, which will waste time and money.
