Column is an architectural and decorative detail of the interior and exterior. Such elements perform load-bearing functions. In modern architecture, the role of support for columns made of artificial stone is not as important as the decorative purpose. The central part of the room, stairs, fireplace lining, pilasters on the walls, door and window openings - a small number of places where, by the way, they will look.
A classic piece consists of several parts: a base, a stem and a capital. Under the base there may be a floor or a pedestal. Above the cap of a classical stone column there is a plinth, with straight or figured edges. Its trunk can be: round or rectangular in cross section, even or with cannulas - parallel grooves, as well as straight or with a diameter decreasing at the top.
Faux onyx in column decoration
A column of any type can be made entirely of stone or its imitation. It is also possible to decorate the prepared form from various materials. This method helps to reduce the cost of such expensive decoration.
The use of an imitated mineral is relevant due to its amazing aesthetic and practical qualities. Finishing the columns with artificial stone allows you to achieve an incredibly realistic appearance. Fascinating onyx overflows do not need additional accents. The multi-color interlacing of threads inside and on the surface of the slab is a real masterpiece.
Stone in the interior is an amazing opportunity to install lighting that can not be applied to the entire surface. In particular, from above or below. It breathes new life into the décor because the backlit onyx grabs the attention of all the people present. This stone is perfect for bright and impressive interiors.
Destination columns in a modern interior
Columns at all times emphasized the grandeur and elegance inside and outside the building. This is due to the specifics of visual perception. People tend to highlight large and luxurious items in a general setting.
There is another important feature in the design of columns - the visual expansion of space. For greater effect, an architectural trick is used: they are placed far enough apart so that the eye cannot capture them together. So the eye will focus on the decorations of each of them.
The columns have different shapes and look good even in a small room. Small supports zone the room into functional zones, if their location is thought out in advance.
There are several types of them: full and semi-column, which is partially hidden in the wall. Indoors, semi-columns successfully mask imperfections, such as load-bearing or communication structures.
It is most expressively shown in the photo, before and after finishing the walls and columns with artificial stone, how the decor elements cope with functional tasks.
