COLUMNS & ARCHES
Columns and arches open space up and add beauty and elegance to a room. Replacing a doorframe with a larger archway creates an airy, open feeling in the adjoining rooms. Arches can be simple or highly decorative. Columns can be used to open a room up while still retaining a divided space. This way two rooms become part of one larger space, while still retaining their separate identities. This is often done to the kitchen and living room or dining room; opening the kitchen up to the rest of the house is wonderful both for family living and entertaining. By bringing these rooms together, the family can enjoy separate activities, together, without sacrificing space or square footage.
