Popular minimalist and contemporary styles dictate clean and straight lines but the fact is that curves soften any space and make it more welcoming, they add interest to the space. One of the easiest ways to incorporate curves into your home decor is arched doorways and windows that bring ultimate elegance to your space at once.
Arched Doorways
An arched doorway can be seen not only in historic property as you usually expect, it can be seen anywhere – in contemporary, boho, modern, Scandinavian and other spaces, and you may easily create a contrast between the space style and the doorway. An arched doorway will add refined elegance, a vintage feel, chic and beauty to literally any space, from a bathroom to an entryway. It can be a doorway in an open layout, for example, between a bedroom and a bathroom, or a kitchen and a pantry, so you’ll see some separation yet not too much. Whenever you want some doors, incorporate arched French ones to make your style even more chic and bold. Such doors will always make the space hidden there more special, whatever it is and whatever decor you go for.

Arched Windows
An arched window is a catchy and cool take on a traditional one, whether it’s original or you‘ve made it yourself. An arched window will bring no less exquisiteness, chic and elegance than a doorway. It will easily highlight farmhouse, vintage and any formal style or contrast a contemporary, minimalist or even industrial space making it softer. Go for oversized arched windows to flood the space with natural light and to enjoy the views if any; incorporate an access to the outdoor space if you have any. Highlight an arched window with a window seat or contrasting shutters, and we recommend to avoid any curtains with such windows or at least not to cover them completely as you won’t see the beauty of your arched piece.
