Research has proven that there are psychological benefits to being in a beautiful space. Therefore, you can become happier by enhancing the beauty of your home. However, you may not know how to do this.
One excellent way is to add one wood corbel or more to your home. There are many applications for these architectural and decorative features in your home. If you’re interested in learning more about how and why to use them, read on.
Replace Columns
One of the two major purposes of wood corbels is bearing weight. Architects often put their triangular bodies below many otherwise unsupported floors. Examples of these include balconies, mezzanines, and so on.
Architects will often add columns below these structures to support them. Your home or building may have one or more constructions such as this. However, you may not find these to your taste.
Perhaps you dislike the look of columns or the fact that they take up so much space. If so, you can replace them with corbels wood, stone, or otherwise.
Enhance Shelves
The other major purpose of corbels wooden, metallic, and otherwise is decoration. If you wish to enhance the look of certain furniture pieces, corbels can help you do this.
For example, your home may have free-floating shelves. If so, consider examining them. Ask yourself if they look beautiful enough to you and/or match your decor?
Is the answer no for either or both questions? If so, consider adding wooden corbels below these shelves. Even though these are unnecessary, they will still enhance the shelves’ beauty.
Add More Counterspace
Are your kitchen counters too small for you? Do you want to replace the surfaces but not the cabinets? If so, be careful.
It is possible for a counter’s surface to be wider and/or longer than the cabinet below. However, the area that sticks out beyond the cabinet shouldn’t remain barren underneath. If too much weight sits on this section, it can break and fall to the floor.
To prevent this, consider adding wood corbels below the surface of your counter. If you do this, make sure that you match the wood of the corbel with that of your cabinets. With the wide selection of small to large wood corbels available, this shouldn’t be hard to do.
