Hi Master Cecil, Referring to photograph A below, due to the layout of the master bedroom, the master bed will lie beneath the beam as shown in photograph A below length-wise. To explain further, the headboard is fine, ie there is no beam above it. But one length of the bed will be against the wall lengthwise, with the beam in photograph A above one length of the bed. This means that this beam will be above 1 person in the master bed length-wise, and there is no other way to shift or position the bed. Is this then considered a beam? If so, how do we neutralise this? Thanks for your kind advice!
