Interior rectangular arches in the interior

The arch, in the understanding of most people, is a product of a semicircular shape, but its rectangular variety is no worse than helping in decorating a space. It is only necessary to clearly understand all the features of such an element and take into account the nuances that are associated with it.

Interior rectangular arches come in various sizes. If they are made of drywall, then the metal frame is necessarily provided.

To give the material the desired configuration, use:

• preliminary receipt of certain types of blanks;

• dry bending of a flat sheet (with a cut along the line);

• wet bending (wet gypsum board is dried under pressure and folded).

The quadrangular designs do not have the majesty of vaulted arches, but the similarity with the usual door is very useful for the interior in the style of minimalism and other modern approaches. Since the drywall itself doesn’t look too attractive, its appearance has to be improved. If you want to get a gloss, use alkyd enamels, and water-based paints are more suitable for creating a matte surface.

When there is no certainty that hand-drawn drawings and ornaments will be accurate and elegant, stencils can be used.

In addition to drywall arch can be made of:

• wood of various species;

• MDF;

• bricks;
• natural stone;
• Al-Profile;

• durable plastic grades.
• stone

Stone constructions are invariably impressive and create a feeling of solidity and good quality. Playing texture and color, you can make the arch harmonious in almost any interior, but preferably such a solution in rooms in the style of country or Provence.An experienced designer will easily fit it into a modern style.

The square arch of plasterboard is often decorated with foam shapes and details that are sufficient only to glue. A more elegant, but more expensive solution - stone. To save money and achieve a chic effect will help the use of veneer.

Let us consider in more detail how you can use an interior arch in the interior:

• A doorway of this kind is valuable in that it does not alienate, but brings together parts of the space in the house, making it more holistic. This is an excellent way out when there is a catastrophically small space, and even the smallest door on railways is simply nowhere to put. However, it is quite appropriate to combine the arched passage and the installed door.

• The addition of an arch overlay with a lamp, a lath, or a banquet next to it is often practiced, but for this you need to carefully select all the elements so that they do not create a sense of dissonance. If the considerations of saving for you in the foreground, then you can get around curtains.Even on the passage from the corridor to the kitchen, such a design decision is permissible, since it helps to avoid hot steam and odors throughout the apartment.

• Putting the arches to the right and left of the decorative column, it will be possible to radically change the appearance of the room, dilute the monotony of classicism. The backlight can be installed on the sides or on top.

• With the help of arches often mask the damage to the walls, open wiring and other communications.

• If a rectangular passage connects two adjacent zones from different rooms, they should be decorated in a key close to each other.

• When not a simple rectangle is made, but a version supplemented with niches, side and top windows and other decorative elements, the design is called a portal. Using columns of various types, it is quite possible to fit such a portal even in an ultramodern or ethnic style. If the goal is to visually connect the kitchen and dining room, then a good idea would be to install it in the arch of a bar or a fake fireplace.

• By equipping a rectangular opening instead of a door in the passage to the loggia, you can achieve a stunning external effect, but qualified designers can enter the arched structures in the middle of the room.Do not try to conduct such experiments on your own, it requires solid aesthetic knowledge and accurate calculation!
