Here are some tips that would help you incorporate support columns
Support
column is an
extremely common feature in older houses. While they can be easily replaced
with by a steel column, chances are
that you may prefer to save that cost. Hence, there is a demand for ideas about
how such columns can be incorporated without them actually looking like
columns.
·
You
can do shelving which involves the creation of shelves around the support column
and also be created between multiple columns. If the column is finished in the
same material as the shelving, it would appear as if the column has visually
disappeared even though it still is there.
·
Another
effective and impressive method is by the creating dividing walls. Using a
dividing wall, even a partial one, space can be split into two distinct spaces.
Since it is larger than the column itself, it acts as an excellent place to
bury electrical, create storage. You can even place your television set or your
fireplace there if you have one.
·
It
can also be used as a vertical interest. You can add a vertical interest to
your room which would help tie various different elements together and create a
better flow. If you transform it into seating, you can actually make it a focal
point. This can be done with a steel column also.
·
Another
idea is to use cabinetry design. While
people usually design custom cabinetry around support columns, it is a good
idea to design your cabinetry in such a way that it gives the impression that
the columns have been intentionally added to enhance the overall function as
well as the overall aesthetic appeal of the cabinet.
