Examples of arches in the interior that will not go out of fashion for another hundred years

Arches in the interior can magically transform the space. They attract attention, unite disparate objects. Thanks to the rounded shape, the room is softer. Replacing doors, visually expand the space and increase the functionality of the rooms.





In the 90s of the last century, the arches became wildly popular. However, over time it became clear that this element of decor can not be used everywhere. It is appropriate not in every room and is often a sign of bad taste.



But fashion is changeable. In 2020, the arches were rethought by designers and again entered the list of fashion trends. They look a little different now. And this is important to consider if you are going to combine in the interior subtle taste and modern style.

Arches in the interior
  1. Proportions
    The new arches became narrower and stretched upwards. This distinguishes them from the old "classical" arches.


  2. Framing
    The new fashion is minimalist. So massive framing is a thing of the past.


  3. Colour
    If you paint the ends of the opening or the wall around the arch in a contrasting color, it will play with new colors.


  4. Experiments
    The second birth of the arches was facilitated by the fashion for geometricity. They are now used not only for openings. Arches are appropriate in the design of cabinets, mirrors, windows. They are used for decorating walls and shower fences.



    The arch is the perfect framing for interior elements that you need to draw attention to. In some cases, you do not even need to make a real archway. The arch can be painted on the wall.






For me personally, these design examples were a good motivation to get started on repairs. And even though my apartment does not have a large area, you can always take into account certain moments and adapt them to your capabilities.
