Arranging the columns in the apartment
These decorative elements are most often used in the classical interiors of private houses. It makes the room particularly majestic and solemn, emphasize its dimensions and create a feeling, as if the ceilings "soar" in the air. However, in modern apartments, the columns were also used. The following options are most advantageous:
- Separation of dining and living areas . Columns are great for zoning space. They look unobtrusive and simple, and at the same time visually divide the room into functional parts. If you decide to distinguish two rooms, then you can use wooden or stone columns.
- Columns in the bathroom . If you plan to decorate a bathroom in a royal style, then this design element will be very handy. Columns can be enclosed by the bathroom itself or installed near the washbasin. Please note that this will only apply in spacious rooms with high ceilings.
- In combination with the septum . This design looks organically in the halls and halls. Thanks to the partition, it is possible to achieve a more significant division of space, but due to the column, a feeling of lightness is created. If desired, the partition can be made a functional part of the interior, providing it with built-in shelves and doors.
- Bar counter . In the racks are usually used thin chrome bars, ensuring the stability of the structure. What if you show originality and replace the usual bar with a luxurious column? In this case, the design will become more original, and the room will acquire a special gloss.
In addition to these options, there are many other ways to use decorative columns in the apartment. They can be backlit, trimmed with a wild stone or painted in a bright color, set them in the corner of the apartment or even on the balcony in a private house.
