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.
