Creatively using columns as home design features

People often consider the best architecture to be designs they don’t expect. Buildings with unique features that make them stand out from the rest can make a great impact and become iconic. Because we are a team that thinks outside the box, we have no trouble providing structures like this. We will be able to provide you with the highest quality residential architecture London has, or can deliver larger projects.

Residential architecture LondonThroughout the history of architecture, designers and architects have had to be creative. This is because they need to address the problem of aesthetics vs structure in creating houses. It is important to design buildings that look great but they must also be structurally stable.

Columns are one of the design elements that are vital for structural support. After all, they carry loads from the upper floors, roof, and other parts of the building down to the ground to support the structure. You may believe that you have to hide these installations. However, there are creative ways to use them as design features in your home.

The architectural style of columns

One thing you need to do here is think about what architectural style of columns would benefit your home the most. Architectural periods have come and gone over time. Features exist from every one though, including ideas for how to address columns and the structure.

What you should do is think about researching periods so you can see what kind of style you should use. Alternatively, you can ask a member of our team what would match your home’s architectural theme and the location. By doing this, you can keep your home true to a certain design era.

Plan around them

Also, you need to plan your furniture layout around your columns. For numerous homes, they can act as focal points. Exterior decks are a wonderful example of how stucco, brick, stone, and wood can be displayed creatively as column wraps. What’s more, external furniture seating set ups can utilise similar colours and materials to play off your aesthetics. You can do this inside the property too.
