In the kitchen the fabulous coral painted arch is overlaid with a zingy square of aquamarine. Giving the painted arch even further impact, producing the perfect backdrop for the display shelves.

Ok I’ll admit, I jumped on the painted arch bandwagon .. and now I can’t help wondering if there isn’t another wall in my home that needs a painted arch . It’s so addictive! Anyways, this is my current office mset up… it’s definitely nice having somewhere dedicated to work . I know it’s been uncertain times for everyone work wise right now. What’s your work situation like? Are you still working from home or are you back at work now ? What’s your current occupation? I know I’m being really nosy aren’t I… . . . .

I PAINTED AN ARCH. . What do you think? . That was a lot faffier than I thought it was going to be as you’ve probably gathered from our stories. Also — would you believe it — as I was doing the final coat on this bad boy, the postie delivered a @decoratingcentreonline parcel which means the paint for the bedroom arch has also arrived, yiippeee. I think I might have a couple of days off after this one tho — there’s only so many times a girl can sharpen a hb pencil with a bobby brown eyeliner sharpener and hammer unnecessary holes in walls in one week. . Oh, and swipe for a couple of befores. . . . . . . #diy #peepmypad #firsthome #shelfie #riversidegarden #colourfiedhomes #homedecor #instahome #homeinspo #renovation #diyonabudget #loveourhomes #colourfulhomevibe #howihouseplant #mydailyhomesquare #myrenostory #pimpupmypad #myinteriorsquares #brightenmywall #dabblingwithdecor #myhouselikethis #showusyourgaff #yourdiyhomes #myhousethismonth #storyofmyhome #interiormixtape #paintedarch #myhouseincolour #letterboxmag #yourlayeredhome

This savvy interiors enthusiast uses a painted arch in the living room to embolden the simple linear artwork on the walls. As a side note we adore the colour combination of this whole scheme.

The painted arch trend has got me like This is easily my favourite makeover in my house so far and it’s making me feel so much braver about using colour more. And it was way easier and quicker than I thought it would be. Especially when you timelapse it! (Sharing that gem on stories now)

Another keen follow of interior fashions @fallfordiy has chosen to use the painted arch trend to highlight bedside table placement. How effective is that for creating an illusion of wall architecture that’s not really there? Super impressive.

This example showcases how to use the painted arch to emphasise an existing design feature – here it’s the doorway, leading to a walk-in wardrobe beyond. Consider it like painting the door surround to frame the space, only on a more artistic scale.

For those lucky enough to have the real deal with alcoves, why not still adopt the arch effect by painting the depth in white – to make the arch stand out.
