Arches are super trendy right now – love them or hate them, you can’t deny that they’re a statement piece.

Thinking of using this design element in your apartment? Here are 6 ways in which you can feature arches in your home.

1. Use It To Frame Your Dining Area

Want to create a cosy dining nook and give yourself more storage space at the same time?

Ask your designer for a row of built-in cabinets, but with an arched seating nook carved out. It’s practical and fun at the same time – talk about killing two birds with one stone!

2. Use It To Frame Your Dining Area

Custom cabinetry can be expensive – so for a quick and easy way to incorporate arches into your home, just paint them onto your cabinets instead.

The best part about this? It’s low-commitment. If you get bored of this trend and want to move on to the next, you can easily repaint your cabinets!

3. Use It As A Wall Cut-out

An arched wall cut-out instead allows you to showcase your beloved curios, and also opens up your space and encourages better airflow. This is a great option for folks who love entertaining – an open layout lets you mingle with your guests and have conversations while performing hosting duties.

4. Use It As An Entrance Way

The idea is simple, but we love how sophisticated it looks. Since you’ll be sacrificing privacy with an arched entryway, though, we recommend this for communal spaces (an office, for example) instead of personal spaces like bedrooms.

5. Use It In Place Of A Headboard

You don’t need a bed with a loud, dramatic headboard – just build an arched recessed niche in the space above. Again, you can display your curios and memorabilia here, or use it as a makeshift bedside table.

6. To Section Off Your Wardrobe

Love the idea of having a walk-in wardrobe, but don’t have enough space for it? You can always section off your wardrobe with an arched wall to create the illusion of a private dressing area. Add a cute mirror and a potted plant next to your wardrobe, and you’re ready to go!
