We are so happy to have bought a long-awaited apartment, and even with an original layout, that at first we don’t think too much about how to cope with all this beauty. She, in turn, can thoroughly puzzle some of the architectural features, confusing the newly-minted owners..
Next, we will talk about how you can arrange rounded walls in the interior, what materials to use for this and what should be discarded..
First of all, think positively, not perceiving the rounded shape of the walls – a problem, because it is this that can become a distinctive and very attractive feature of your home..
Tip: Undoubtedly, «roundness» or «convex» the wall itself has a rather decorative look. Therefore, do not try your best to decorate it as elegantly as possible. It will be quite sufficient to choose one of the design options presented below.
Feature of the architectural solution
When the walls of a rounded shape are of sufficient length, you can not place an explicit emphasis on them, but only emphasize a visible feature. At the same time, emphasis should be placed on neutral textures of materials that will not distract from the main thing: an unusual silhouette.
Suitable for you: Painting, decorative plastering (e.g. Venetian plaster), embossed plastering, cork paneling, flexible wood panels.
A doorway in a rounded wall with a neutral surface is best decorated with textured material for doors, baseboards and platbands. For example, sliding doors made of solid wood with rough processing will look unusual, but very successful..
How to veneer rounded walls
In the interiors of modern apartments, you can sometimes find rounded sections of walls that do not carry any function, being absolutely decorative, or are erected for the specific purpose of zoning a room.
In both cases, it is necessary to somehow highlight a similar architectural element, otherwise it risks visually merging with the rest of the walls, simply losing the meaning of its existence in the interior.
Feel free to use bold, unusual materials to accentuate a rounded section of a wall or a zoning partition.
A similar element can be erected as a portal between adjacent rooms (corridor-living room); as an entrance area with an external door; as a screen containing a decorative or full-fledged window opening; as a wide support (semi column).
It is advisable to choose materials for facing a small rounded wall that are catchy, with a visible texture, very decorative: mirror canvases of different lengths and widths, heterogeneous masonry with artificial stone, metallized tiles, mosaics.
By the way, unusual interior fabrics (smooth, with silk shimmering thread or velvety soft) can also be used to design a rounded partition.
How to decorate round walls
The decor can be used to decorate the surface of a rounded wall, if you refuse to use an effective coating.
If it is necessary to decorate a smooth surface without reliefs and decorative effects, the choice should be made either in favor of decor, or – facing material.
You can place extraordinary hand-made items in neat niches formed in a rounded wall or a massive partition (built-in lighting is welcome).
In the rounded partition between the living room and the kitchen, you can make openings-showcases, in which it is convenient to place beautiful dishes, vases and figurines.
Decoration with paintings is a classic of the genre, only the size of the frames should be taken into account, since the rhythmically repeating rows of small pictures look much more original on a rounded surface than the random placement of large specimens.
Hanging bookshelves repeating the unusual shape of the wall can be used no less spectacularly, but also for educational purposes..
On the way to the implementation of an extraordinary venture, act more boldly, because you never know for sure what positive result this will lead to.
