Hello there

Make a U shape.

Screw or fix timbers ( using L brackets ) to the ceiling. One either side and then fix bottom timber onto them. or
Make up a frame and apply hardboard to the frame and colour to look like beams (paint or wood finish)
I don't know if they are still made, but I bought copies of old ship beams - made from a type of foam and former back in the 70's ( I loved them so much I brought them to my new house) They were stuck to the ceiling - They are so realistic they even have all the old gouges and timber looking joint pins and

even woodworm holes...............

Cleo, I typed 'faux wood beams' in the search box and hit enter to find a number of them. I have chosen one for you, but there are a good many more for you to glean and follow. Hope this helps: https://www.hometalk.com/diy/build/walls/diy-faux-wood-beam-without-a-visible-edge-29997191
