Architectural Feature: Arched Passageways

by Laura Casey Interiors on May 8, 2012

When I wrote this post about hallways, one that particularly caught my eye was in the home of Maryam Montague of My Marrakesh as published by Elle Decor. It got me thinking about how beautiful arched passageways are in a home and led me to look for more.

The continued arch in this home gives a classic and open feel.

I love the continuity between the kitchen and the pantry seen here.

The arches are stunning. This is one detail that’s worth the cost when you see the end result.

Golden Arches! I do love all of the stunning arches you ordered up for this post!
I do love them, especially the one’s at The Cloisters in NY City.

I ADORE arches! It’s one of the things that drew me to our current home. I’m excited about our Franklin farmhouse, but sad there’s not a single arch opportunity! XO!
