An arch is a fairly well-known way to divide the space. And this attribute is universal, it is suitable not only for museums, luxury housing, but also for small apartments. In the latter case, the arched decoration of the aperture, where installing a door is impractical, is the best solution.
Benefits of arches
Wooden arch, plaster or other material is an original element of the interior design of the apartment.
The main advantage of the archway design is that it saves a lot of space in the apartment. The arch often replaces the kitchen door, which allows you to expand the area of a narrow small corridor.
Also, this design element will decorate any wide, irregular opening. For example, there are apartments where the kitchen can be entered through the living room, which usually plays the role of the living room. Installing a partition will create a narrow uncomfortable corridor, which will also take away valuable meters of space. Interior wooden arches are perfect for such apartments, they will visually delineate the space, without harming the functionality of the room.
Arch construction, creating a boundary between adjacent rooms, leaves the opportunity to use them as a whole.
Installation is usually not difficult – parts are attached to the perimeter of the opening with glue or screws.
