The use of columns in the interior

When mentioning the columns in the interior, most people begin to think about something pompous and majestic. Ancient architecture comes to mind, since the columns were most actively used then. In all monumental buildings, they were an integral component of the structure. Heavy arches of stone needed to be supported by something. Architects today admire the perfection of ancient forms, so the columns continue to be used. They can be a great addition to the classics, Empire and some other styles.

It is believed that columns are used in the interior only when it comes to public spaces decorated in a classic style. But at the same time they are found in residential apartments. Designers use them to achieve high ground, which must be present in historical areas. The vaults of the columns are rarely supported; their function is now mostly decorative. However, as supporting structures, they can be used in high-rise buildings.

If the column is a necessary element for the house, it must be adapted to the style of the interior.

This is an interesting, but very difficult task, as sometimes homeowners choose not only classic, but also a variety of modern styles. You can also enter columns organically in them. The presence of such concrete elements will only benefit the underground and loft interiors. They emphasize technogenicity and functionality of the rooms perfectly, but at the same time such columns look, of course, completely different from those in antiquity.

In any case, the columns in the interior can look harmonious. Thanks to them, you can emphasize the characteristic features of various styles, create an original design and get away from boring standard solutions.

Styling columns can be the very emphasis that organizes the space and gives harmony.

If the supporting columns are present in the room, you will have to somehow think about their design in any case, since it will not be possible to remove them. In this situation, you can try to disguise them or, conversely, make them the main element of the decor. It is not necessary to consider who the columns are necessarily a sign of the past. They remain relevant today. Sometimes it is them who lack an interior to create a stylish and very special environment. Luxurious apartments in the palace-style columns will certainly decorate.
