Having structural beams overhead may seem like a great architectural feature, but when it comes to good 
fung shui you better cover them up. Exposed beams can cause unhappiness in your home. This means that there will be increased fighting with all of your loved ones and friends. People who come into your home may misunderstand you or a family member. This could create more problems.
There are a few ways to solve the exposed beam problem. One is to just make a ceiling with drywall. Sometimes though you are renting and can’t do anything permanent, in that case use cloth to cover the beams. As long as they are hidden they will not cause you problems.

This is an excellent article about Feng Shui and certainly something people should keep in mind when they are shopping for a new home. I like the idea about covering the beams up with cloth - a nice gauze fabric would really soften the room’s energy and make it more balanced.
