Arched Book Shelves, Doorways, and Windows

May 17, 2017
  • Share

I love a good arch.  As mentioned many a time, my best of friend AM loathes arches.  We have been best of friends for years and have rarely had major differences.  The arch thing is a major difference.  Yes, best of friend AM, I am drawing a line in the sand about arches. I love love love love them.  So… AM and I love talking about home decor.  We both get really excited when chatting about all things design.  We are aligned.  She likes a little more bold color and pattern than I do, but generally we are in sync…on the same page…see eye to eye…like minded…kindred design spirits…except when it comes to arches.  I don’t know why she doesn’t like arched things. I really don’t.  I know, after all these years, I cannot sway her.  It is fine.  I am resolved.  One less arch lover means more arched things for me.  I love arches in home decor.    I do.  I think a good arched built in book shelf, window or doorway can all of the character you need into a space.  Take a look and then please weigh in on this great debate…do you like arches? Or don’t you?

    One of the main reasons I bought the house I live in is the arched doorways.
    And that arched glass door/doorway above is the bomb.
    So I am 100% with you on this one! Love an arch.

    I do like arches…they add interest to any space…with that being said, I like interior arches…but outside facade arches…maybe not so much…outside arches can sometimes seem phony and contrived….unless the arches are ancient. But yes, I vote for arches. 🙂

      There is most definitely something special and almost romantic about having arches in your home

    I agree with the the author of this article 100%. I really do love arches in all forms of architecture, especially if it happens to frame a stained glass window.

    I love the arches and the roomy feel and the high ceilings. In fact, I love absolutely everything about it!

    I love the arch in every form of setting . It adds beauty and and is eye catching. The hallways, the book shelves,and the windows all bring a difference. I will always have the arch designs as number one.

An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate.An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate. 🍂
You don’t need a perfectly styled table or a dozen new pieces to make a fall gathering feel special. Start with what you already have and layer in a few simple details.
Think woven placemats + simple white plates + gingham napkins + fresh greenery. Add clear glassware and a simple centerpiece, and you have a table that feels warm, collected, and ready for dinner with friends.
The best part? Most of these elements can work beyond fall, too. Just switch out the napkin pattern or greenery and you have a completely different look.
Save this for your next fall gathering and use it as a starting point for your own table. 🤎

The spaces that get it right pair it with warm oak, aged brass, and something worn-in: an antique dresser, a vintage runner, a hand-thrown vase.
