How often have you found yourself in a situation, when buying a new apartment or premises, everything seems perfect, except for this strange, ridiculously standing column in the middle of the room? And now, there is a desire to continue searching for an ideal apartment, a very perfect layout… But! Wait a minute. The column can be a very interesting addition to the interior - it can be successfully played with, and sometimes its presence can even work in our favour.
Five ways to turn a column in your interior into a positive, desired element:
1. To finish the surface of the column, use a mirror in different cutting variations, shapes and sizes. At the same time, add an LED strip at the top. Thus, the mirror will visually expand the space, and the backlight will create an incredible atmosphere.
2. The column can be wrapped in MDF panels, by adding both closed and open shelves. Shelves of different sizes could be an interesting solution, while their chaotic placement would add a special touch to the whole column. The more chaos, the more ease. Use a new design for decor, library or bar.
3. Attach a table to the column and use the same finishing material for the adjacent surface of the column and the table surface. Create a sense of unity. For contrast, joy and visual lightening of the massive column construction, decorate another part with a different material, color, texture, and also add decor, for example, a picture.
4. An interesting way is to use this extra vertical space in the apartment as a drawing board for children or writing notes for each other. It would require a special paint or wallpaper, which was originally designed for drawing.
5. To make the apartment more spacious, we can create a smoother connection between the walls and ceiling. This can be done through physical or decorative intervention. By removing rigid, rectangular lines and creating a more organic form, we can create the illusion of more space and perspective. So, if it is possible to somehow smoothly organize the connection of the column with the ceiling and floor and create a sense of integrity, this is a great way to implement the column into the big picture.
6. Color always helps us. Especially if furniture of different colors is organized around the column, the column can also be made bright, even multi-colored with the right lines. And no one will ever realize that it stood alone and ridiculously in the middle of the room. It fits just perfectly into the picture.
