We're in the process of decorating our lounge. It's a very large room but can be quite dark in winter, despite windows on two sides.
Our house is an old building but the lounge is a comparatively modern extension, but had beams put in to match the older part of the house.
What we can't decide is whether to paint them or not, they are varnished dark brown at the moment. In an ideal world we'd probably have them stripped but we don't have the money (or patience for the mess!) for that right now. So should we paint them? And if so, what colour? White to blend in with the rest of the ceiling? Or a pale stoney grey maybe? We've been prevaricating about this for months now!

Paint beams or leave them?
