As you know, fashion has a habit of returning. This applies to clothes, shoes, and hairstyles, and, to a lesser extent, the design of the premises. Decorators are increasingly eager to refine the minimalism of ultramodern materials and solutions with the help of elegant elements "antique".Today, at the peak of popularity - antique columns in a modern interior.
This detail adds greatness and elegance to even the most unimpressive room and invariably evokes associations with ancient Greek temples and luxurious Roman baths. However, to columns in the interior "worked" for a common idea, the classic principles of their construction often have to give up.
Column - a symbol of antique and classical architecture - is a column of cylindrical shape, serving not so much as a decoration, but for supporting structural structures. Distinguish the base of the column and its upper, decorative part, often decorated with bas-reliefs. In ancient Greek and Roman temples, white marble columns were used immediately in large numbers, creating a reliable support for the roof and, at the same time, making a monumental building dynamic, as if "floating" in the air. In times of classicism, both practical and aesthetic value of this architectural element was actively exploited: massive pillars supported high ceilings with stucco molding, and the upper part served as an additional decoration of rich interiors. As in ancient times, the columns were made of marble and valuable types of stone.
Today columns in the interior houses or apartments can perform all their classic tasks, that's just the kind of them has changed a little.

The main tasks of the columns in the design of the premises have not changed much. Mainly they are used for support and masking of bearing structures, visual correction of the proportions of the room, and also for zoning the space of a house or apartment.

As for the visual expansion of space, there are no equal columns here: they are vertical lines, according to the known law, they "pull" the room upwards. For example, located in a row around the perimeter of the room, these slender, elegant designs can visually add ceiling heights.
One of the modern functions of the columns in any interior is the zoning of space. There are a lot of options for using this method. So, the pillars can "circle" the dining area, separating it from the kitchen and living room, or place two columns on each side of the fireplace, turning it into the real center of this room. Another way - to draw a series of columns with a hall or entrance to the room.
