When a major overhaul occurs in the apartment, it may include many different works: leveling walls and ceilings, a change of flooring, replacing doors, and in some cases even a redevelopment. Redevelopment is a rather complicated process, in some cases, it even requires permission from utilities. They resort to it usually in cases where it is necessary to make a decision to expand one or another part of the space.
If technically redevelopment is impossible, many designers offer instead of doors to make arches in the apartment — this option has long been known as an excellent replacement of demolition or movement of partitions. The arch at the same time and eliminates the doors, and makes it possible to a visual unification of two different rooms. In small apartments, this is sometimes the only way out of the situation: for example, combining a small one with an arch. kitchen and living room, you can achieve a sensation of greater space.
Some designers and architects in their desires to avoid standards when planning the premises often resort to the creation of an arch in the apartment. After all, each border between the rooms, decorated with the help of arches, can be either emphasized or vice versa, a little, as it were, with the help of a certain height, width or decoration of the arch. This effect also depends on the type of arches — they are passive and active. Passive arches in the apartment are just the openings of the desired shape and width that do not pay special attention to themselves and mainly carry the technical function. Active arches are primarily part of the design — they are more decorative and noticeable.
In modern apartment buildings, as a rule, there are more opportunities to arrange the design of the interior of the apartment exactly as its owner sees. The situation with country houses is even easier — the layout of private houses provides an almost unlimited scope for the imagination of design developers, so the interior of the house can be the most diverse. Of course, it will be best to contact an organization where professional designers work who can think through a competent and unusual design project of an apartment or house, taking into account all the wishes of the customer.
The arches in the apartment can be stylized as you like, for any interior. Modern decorations and building materials allow them to give them any shape, decorate in any style. If in an apartment or house the main style is modern, then you can make an arch made of wood, with decoration under the surrounding interior. In the interior «high -tech» — a square arch with a coating combined with wallpaper or plaster on the walls will look great. For decorating apartments of fans of the classical style, the arches are semicircular, with stucco molding or painting on the maintenance.
