The arched motif communicates elegance, strength and understated beauty, but how do we incorporate the classically inspired arch trend into our modern home decor? Today, we’ll explore how interior arches can be introduced into our lounge spaces, dining areas, kitchens and even bedrooms with subtlety and grace, using three inspirational home designs visualised by Elemental Design. These spaces have everything from arch-shaped home workspaces, recessed shelving nooks and arch chandeliers, to shapely cabinet door cutouts, arch motif artwork, modern mirrors and decorative wall paint ideas. We’ll also see a meld with the similarly rounded peaks of racetrack-shaped decor elements, curvy furniture outlines, and rounded accessories that complement the arch aesthetic.
