How often do you come across archways inside homes? I've seen a few styles in Spanish, Indian and Moorish homes, but they can also fit perfectly in other types of spaces. It's relatively easy to create an archway, but squares and rectangles are much more common in traditional homes. Even though archways are often picturesque architectural elements of historical buildings, they can still add a trendy touch to modern rooms. They can transform a cramped space into a modern, chic, eclectic, and grand room. Don't you think so?
I've noticed that, in these examples, the arches have an amazing impact on hallways, passages, and windows. This goes to show that a single structural feature can add a lot to the room and allow the whole area to open up. Arches are most functional and beautiful when found between two rooms or above a window. This architectural element can be stunning when it brightens up a room and allows it to open up.
Finally, given a choice, where would you like to place an arch - between two rooms or above your window? Aren't these eye candy?
