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.

Some go quiet and tailored, with scalloped benches, brass mesh, and oak paneling. Others go all in, with emerald walls, a log chandelier, and a tile floor that does the talking. Every one of them makes the daily shoe-and-coat shuffle look good.

Untouched since 1972: an interior designer’s guilt Untouched since 1972: an interior designer’s guilt-free remodeling dream.
Designer Noz Nozawa and her husband found this Kings Beach cabin in North Lake Tahoe in 2017. Over the next six years they gut-renovated every room (though if you ask Noz, it’s never really finished), building their own take on nostalgic, cozy Old Tahoe charm.

Everyday luxury isn’t saved for special occasions. Everyday luxury isn’t saved for special occasions. It’s a porch swing at golden hour, sunlight across a marble floor, a dining room you’d actually want to linger in.
A look inside a home that’s elevated without ever feeling off-limits: brass-detailed kitchen, a glass-walled lounge, and a lacquered dining room with a wine wall.
