In recent years, the arch element has become popular again. From public buildings to interior design, if you just scroll through social apps, you can find countless grass planting cases and perfect templates. Today, let us take a look at this "famous star" and see what he is capable of!
1. What is an arch?
In the past, arches were mostly used in outdoor buildings, such as the Roman Colosseum and Arc de Triomphe ...
but now they have been moved into our homes and are mostly used for interior decoration of private homes.
Arch, as the name suggests, is an arched door opening, which can be in the form of semicircle, ellipse , parabola... and so on. It is generally used in corridors, aisles, or as beautiful balconies and cloakroom entrances, which can not only extend the space but also beautify the wall.
2. Classification of Arches
The characteristic of an arch is its arc shape. According to the difference in arc and shape, arches can be roughly divided into the following types:
, round arch
Round arch is the most classic arch form, and it is also the most common and most commonly used type in home design.
The top line of the semi-circular arc is round, full, smooth and soft, and is highly compatible with many home decoration styles. The soft curves act as a visual buffer in a straight-line room. At the same time, the overall shape of the arch can elongate the floor height and reduce physical depression.
. Flat arch
Flat arch can be understood as a straight line + arc arch, that is, the top is a horizontal straight line and the corners on both sides are wrapped with arc lines. This form of "arch" can be said to be a flat arch.
Flat arches are often used in places where there is a beam blocking the top or where the door opening is low. For example, this kind of arch is often used at the entrance of the balcony to maintain the lines and softness of the home decoration.
. Half-arch
Half-arch is a composite form of arch. One half is a conventional round arch and the other half is a traditional right-angled shape.
Squares and circles coexist harmoniously, creating different fireworks and making the home rich and colorful.
- Advantages of Arches
Right angles are square and sharp, making people feel cold and stiff. Arches can use curves and arcs to weaken edges and corners and soften the space.
The upper part of the arch is a curved and stretched shape. If used well, it can visually lengthen the floor height.
The curved lines themselves have an extraordinary sense of art. The ingenuity of the arch is that it invisibly strengthens the texture of the space.
The top beam that is too abrupt can be optimized and improved by using an arch arc transition.

5. Tips for installing arches without overturning
1. Before making an arch, you must know the floor height of your home, and then determine the arc according to the specific height
2. The inner width and height of the arch determine the arc shape, generally the inner height = 1/2 the width of the door opening
3. It is best not to reach the highest point of the arch. It is recommended to reserve a certain amount of space in advance.
4. After finishing, check the closing details and make sure that the intersection point of the right-angled edge and the arc is on the same straight line.
