Welcome to our site where you will find beautifully designed kitchens with columns. Columns in a kitchen are often needed because the wall is load bearing, but to create an open and airy feeling they are used instead of an entire wall. Adding moulding and decorative corbels can create a more custom look when working with columns in a kitchen.
In order to come up with the very specific design ideas, we create most designs with the assistance of state-of-the-art AI interior design software.
Be sure to scroll through our curated interior photos so you can read all about the details of each design. We hope to inspire and ignite creativity on your design journey.

Why Columns
One of the many challenges an interior designer needs to face would get around auxiliary supports. Sometimes, columns and bars are set in such awkward spots that it makes it somewhat hard to work around it, making blockages in traffic, or a tremendous unaesthetic impediment.
Depending upon the height of the columns, it can likewise add visual stature to the room to cause it to seem bigger than it is. Here are a few hints for picking the correct island and the correct kinds of columns for your island.
With open plan living so popular, many homeowners find it challenging to work around columns or steel structures that may seem they are in the way. Whether it’s sticking out from the inside of an exterior wall or standing right in the middle of your room, this is a very tricky – or expensive – structure to dispense with in a new design, or to have removed from an existing space (although it’s always worth consulting a structural engineer).
