The unusual idea of ​​using the columns in the interior of your apartment

believed that these architectural elements are present only in large, spacious rooms that each have a private home.However, they, with the right approach to this question will not be superfluous, and in a city apartment.The main thing - to understand what function they perform.Here are this and face it.

Initially, the column was used only as supports.But the views of today's architects and designers more transformed with the realities of our time.In the foreground stands a purely decorative function.This contributes to the constant growth rate of the individual building.Experts have found that the use of the previously only structural elements in any home, be it a small house or a typical apartment.

First, consider how you can put all the columns?And once we note that only adhere to any single method would not be entirely correct.Even in a particular room, you can do everything, "complex", successfully combining different options.

location methods columns

• Groups.Most often, they are installed in pairs, although this is not a dogma.
• Dual column.
• one in the corners of rooms, or distributed evenly along the perimeter.
• In the center of the room.
• grouped in any part of the room.

In every house has its own utilities.If they are laid "open" way (as they say, "on display"), with the help of columns can be effectively hidden from visual review.

Some owners prefer homes with large rooms divided into separate parts, depending on their functional purpose.It is possible to make the appropriate columns zoning.Here too there are many options.For example, to arrange these elements of land intended to play the role of a living room.We'll have a place inside the resulting square (rectangle) the necessary items of furniture (eg, chairs, sofa, coffee table, floor lamp).The same principle is made for dining room or other area.

In some cases, the owners of the premises seems uncomfortable.Not everyone likes our typical layout, especially the Soviet period.This often makes some dissonance between the dimensions of the rooms and furnishings that want to buy.In this case, the column at the correct location, can change the geometry of several premises.For example, placing them along the walls, you can visually "raise" the ceiling.

All of the above features of the use of columns in the rooms mainly based on our visual perception of space.However, in some cases it is advisable to use not as "scenery", but as a structural member carrying a certain load (which was done in the old days).And there are several ways to organically "fit" it into the interior of the room.

Option 1. Select column on the general background so that it immediately catches the eye, has become a major part of the design of the room.Methods used different - special lighting (lights), contrast or a bright color and a number of others.

Option 2. «Dissolve" in its interior.In addition to a monochromatic painting, apply other methods - pasting, drapery and the like.You can place directly on the column decorative molding that "divert" attention from her.

Our understanding of the material from which built the column is limited, as a rule, marble or granite.In practice, however, and other uses.The thing is, for what purpose are constructed such elements.Here are the basic (except those already identified), which are often used designers for their projects:

• brick;
• concrete;
• stone.As a natural (eg, basalt) and artificial (imitation);
• wood, passed appropriate treatment;
• plastic;
• polyurethane foam.

The article gives a general overview of the use of columns in the interior.Kinda is a "sketch" and the writing of the final "pattern" depends entirely on the flight to your imagination, dear reader.For example, use the column as a home bar rack - is not an option?
