Stunning Archways

Often overlooked, interior archways can create not just a dramatic entrance, but a visual separation, a visual stop, so to speak, from one room to the next. 
Here is a simple archway that separates the entryway from the living room. 

Here the archway frames the dining room perfectly.  Note how the apex of the arch is perfectly aligned with the chandelier.

Here two detailed wood shelf brackets were used to create an inexpensive archway separation from the hall to the entry. 

This is a pretty dramatic separation between two living areas, one an intimate nook and one a larger, more formal area.
