One of the symbols of apartment renovation in the 90s of the last century are arched openings.
At that time, they were used to decorate any passages between living spaces, to take out interior doors, or to make arches when combining several rooms into one.
Like wall hangings, arches were once a relic, but now designers and stylists are paying more and more attention to this element.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , told how to solve this problem so that it is comfortable and convenient.
Here are some examples of where you can place an arch without thinking about fashion trends.
In the bedroom
An arch can be made if you want to combine two rooms into one or, conversely, make two out of one. In this case, the arch solves a lot of problems and allows you to functionally divide the room into zones. More often, a drapery made of thick fabric is used instead of a door.
In the kitchen
Looks great in studio apartments, loft style, when separating the dining room and cooking area. In this case, arches do not clutter the space and fill the room with light and air. But you will have to install a powerful hood so that specific odors do not spread throughout the apartment.
In the hallway
If the interior doors in the hallway are always open, it is easier and cheaper to place an arch in the opening. A mirror in the hallway, repeating the contour of the opening, can be an addition.
Imitation of an arched opening
This element is most often used in the bedroom or in the nursery. It allows you to create an atmosphere of privacy, coziness and comfort.
