Dear James: We are empty-nesters and plan to combine rooms for a more open floor plan. Box beams would look nice for some separation. What are some tips for adding box beams to the ceiling? —Nick K.
Dear Nick: Most modern homes have more open floor plan layouts instead of many smaller distinct rooms. It does provide a more open and spacious feel to even a smaller house. And it allows for more multiple use of the living space. Better lighting, heating, and cooling are also advantages of an open floor plan.
