It's hard to say without seeing what is going on in the rest of the room. Can you share a wide view of the room that includes the floor level and the ceiling?

Are these beams a new addition to the space?

Thanks. Here is the room

agree with @deegw better views of the room would be helpful.

are you going to remove the sheetrock from them before you clad them in wood?

If not, I thing they may be too thick for your space...

I would leave them as they are. Adding wood could make the room too busy and oppressive.

I prefer white. But... in your space I bet it would look lovely with a rustic wood exterior.

With the current furnishings I’d say to leave the beams white.
If we changed up the vibe of the room I think there’s a lot of potential and we can definitely work in wood beams.

Thank you everyone for replying. I guess I’ll leave them white👍🏼

Yes white would look the nicest. Gorgeous room BTW

Are the beams required or just decoration? If decoration, I would take them out, as they block your window view.
