Columns and pilasters: classic luxury

Columns and pilasters, reminiscent of a glorious era, are filled with luxury and solidity. Such ornamentation obliges to maintain a classical style throughout the interior. Usually, column capitals come in three types, which to this day are named after the classical canons of the ancient Greeks and Romans:

– Doric – simple, without elaborate ornaments;
– Ionic – with curled volutes (“ears”) on the sides;
– Corinthian – the most ornate, decorated with leaves, flowers and other ornaments.

Pilasters are closely related to columns – these are decorative details used for wall decoration, giving the interior a refined aristocracy. The capitals of classical pilasters, like those of columns, are Doric, Ionic and Corinthian.

Not just decoration

Columns and pilasters came from the architectural style of ancient Greece and Rome, so when they are used in the interior, the room becomes a reflection of a grand history.

Therefore, even today, when using these classical style details in spaces, they must reach the ceiling, “support” it. “Classic Line Decor” columns do not perform the function of a supporting structure, but “hide” the beam of the supporting structure of a metal or reinforced concrete building.
