You can enhance your home by adding arches in doorways, hallways, coffee nooks, mirrors, bathrooms and awkward spaces, to name a few examples.

Arches add light and texture by increasing open space and showcasing their soft curves, adding interest to a room’s appearance.

A traditional doorway can be transformed with an archway that softens its appearance and makes it more classical. And there are other options for elegance all over your home.

“As well as adding a sense of refinement, arched doorways can bring practical benefits. For example, in small, angular spaces such as under stairs or in rooms with low ceilings arched doorways can provide a more flexible solution to traditional rectangular doors as their contours often fit more harmoniously with the proportions,” says homeandgardens.com.

Arches come in eight general types, so you want to consider your options: Gothic arches, Tudor arches, half-circle arches, bell-curve arches, window arches, elliptical arches, soft segmented arches, corbel arches, and shoulder flat arches, Or you can have an arch custom made.

Each style has its advantages. For example, the Gothic arch is tall and narrow; the Tudor arch is short and wide.

You may want to consult a designer or a contractor to choose the best arch for your home.
