A few years ago, I was showing clients a particular apartment, where you are faced with a big column as soon as you enter the front door. Since it’s a load-bearing column, it can’t be removed.
Around 80% of the people commented on that and even considered it the main factor for turning down the apartment. Actually, nobody bought that apartment for two years, until it was furnished.
From my experience, most people find it very hard to overcome minor (or major, according to them) problems like this. It’s totally understandable, as everyone is looking for the perfect house. People usually hesitate to be elastic and accept a challenge, which doesn’t let their imagination work to solve the problem.
Just to be clear, I wouldn’t choose that placement for the column if I were the architect of the building. But it was there and it was messing with an overall great apartment. I am sure there are endless cases like that, where something small makes the whole place loose value.
Next time you have to deal with an awkwardly placed column or a row of them right in the middle of the house, don’t turn away immediately. If the rest of the space ticks all the boxes, think of the columns as the surprise factor of the house. They can be transformed into something amazing.
Here are three main approaches and a few of the ways you can work with columns. You can come up with unique ideas, as soon as you shift your mindset from problem to opportunity and allow yourself to have fun!
1- DRESS THE COLUMNS
2 - USE THE COLUMNS TO SHOWCASE OTHER THINGS
Put light fixtures on them[ Images via ]
Treat them as an extension of the ceiling (in texture, color or design)[ Image on the left via - Image on the right via ]
Choose a contrasting material and add a big scale object (mirror/plant/painting/sculpture)[ Images via ]
3 - ADD STORAGE SPACE TO THE COLUMNS
After all these fantastic examples, I hope I made you change your mind if you only thought of columns as difficulties to avoid in a space until now.
Let your imagination run free and have fun with your columns from now on!
