Types of arches
To feel the beauty and diversity of drywall arched structures, take a look at the photo below, which shows the interior design of the living room in its luxury and mystery.
However, there is another type of arch - a fantasy, which is difficult to put in this row. It implies an unusual fiction of the designer and does not fit into the standards.
Here, by the way, is one of the unusual forms of a drywall arch, presented in the photo above in the interior of the living room design.
Features of the arch design
When you work with this type of material, you need to take into account a lot of nuances. This can also be expressed in the need to put an arch in an already made opening.
So that the design of the opening is not burdensome, the task of the builders is to select this type of arch so that during installation, its side parts take up minimal space on the passage by this structure.
As for the decorative properties of the arch, then sufficiently qualified specialists with the help of modern finishing materials can make any fantasy come true.
The works of designers are quite attractive when you can literally start working with arches from scratch and at the same time connect them with shelves, niches, interior windows, racks intended for a home mini bar.
With the help of drywall, you can make a smooth shape of the structure and create the effect of transition from one element to another.
An interior with arched structures
In the design, where there is the presence of arched forms in the interior, curved forms of aisles are usually used. They go well with arched windows, various decorative elements, intertwined with a variety of options in the headset.
The photo below shows how the plasterboard arch fit perfectly into the interior design and at the same time intertwined with the kitchen set.
A fairly conceptual solution is a smooth connection of the ceiling lines passing through the arch to the bar counter. Thanks to this technique, you can create a dynamic interior, where each individual detail will be connected into a single element.
To create this project, you need a professional vision of individual parts that are combined into one common and holistic structure.
When the customer provides the entire area of the room for creation, then the project designer cannot deny himself the pleasure of demonstrating his knowledge and skill in creating unusual interiors.
In this case, the photo shows the interior design of the living room, where the drywall arch is turned upside down on the partition. This is a bold enough trick.
The version with a light arch in the form of a drop that flows from one side of the opening to the other looks amazing. It is a kind of visualization of the arch, which the designer presented exactly in this form.
If you use an element in the interior that is repeated in its different versions, then the success and the guarantee that the customer will like it will be 100%. For example, in the photo above, you can see that the oval, located on the ceiling, in the interior design smoothly flows onto the door arches made of plasterboard. An unusual solution, isn't it?
Thanks to high ceilings, any fantasy can be realized, and columns and an arched vault will help you with this, especially if it is combined with minimalism and furniture sets, creating unique images of different eras.
Types of finishing arches
The plasterboard arch finish can be quite varied:
Decorative stone looks very respectable. It gives the interior a noble style and beauty.
Thanks to a material such as stone, you can create a finish without additional preparatory measures.
How to make an arch with your own hands?
First you need to decide between which parts of the interior you will build an arch. It could be between the living room and the kitchen, or the hallway and the kitchen. Then you need to choose the structure of the arch, measure the opening where the structure will be installed, determine the height and radius of the arch.
If the arch is made in a standard form, then in diameter it will be equal to the width of the opening. To create it, cut a rectangular piece from a drywall sheet, and then draw a semicircle of the configuration you need on it with a compass. Then use a jigsaw to cut out a semicircle. Install plasterboard profiles according to measurements. After all these measures, fasten the side parts of the arch to the prepared profiles that run along the bending structure.
The final step in finishing the opening will be cutting out the end part of the structure. You can do this work on a drywall sheet with a knife or a needle roller. At the same time, saturate the strip with water to give it the configuration you need.
At the end of the work, the structure must be filled at least two times.
Then you can paint it or glue the wallpaper.
In conclusion, we note that a plasterboard arch can be made in almost any shape. She is plastic. You can create whatever your heart desires from it. It takes any shape and can serve as a fairly practical material that zones the space and gives a feeling of luxury and beauty.
