House pillars - functionality and designs

A pillar, sometimes referred to as a column, is a vertical structure that supports a structure such as a building. They are usually made of materials such as concrete, brick, stone, wood, and metal.

The Beauty of Pillars

In your home, pillars can play a functional role such as supporting a structure like a balcony or defining or demarcating spaces within the home. On the other hand, pillars could be purely decorative. You could include them to add sophistication or a luxurious appeal to your home.

The fact that pillars can be made of a different number of materials is another fascinating thing about them. This gives you the opportunity to choose the material that best complements your home. You’re not restricted to using just concrete.

You can also decorate pillars as you see fit. They could be simple with little or no decorative elements, and they could also be bold with eye-catching adornments like carvings or paintings.

Furthermore, pillars are not like some elements of the house that are high maintenance. Pillars are easy to care for, and with proper maintenance, they are sure to last a great number of years.

Stunning House Pillar Designs to Use in Your Home

1.    Minimalist House Pillars

With minimalism, the goal is understated elegance. Minimalist designs are simple yet appealing. So, minimalist house pillars should be simply structured with neutral color tones like beige, slate grey, or cream.

To achieve the ultimate minimalist look, the pillar should be without too many decorative elements. This design is most spectacular in a house’s interior.

2.    Stone bricks-based House Pillars

This is a refreshing house pillar design that is sure to make your home stand out because it combines two house pillar materials effortlessly — cement and stone bricks.

The idea is that stone bricks are stacked on top of each other to create a solid base on which concrete pillars are then built.

Not only is this design beautiful, but it is also functional. The stone bricks create a strong support for the structure the entire pillar upholds.

3.    Round House Pillars

This house pillar design promises a smooth and refreshing addition to your home. The beauty of this design is in its shape; it is round and simple.

The simplicity of this design could sync wonderfully with the minimalist style, as it could be plain colored with minimal decoration. It could also be bold and breathtaking if you choose to enhance it with elaborate decoration such as a painting.

4.    Brick House Pillars

Bricks are known to be sturdy, and accordingly, brick house pillars are perfect when supporting large structures or a heavy load of structure, such as multiple storey buildings. So, if you have a large building, you may want to consider brick house pillars.

But if you’re more concerned with the beauty of brick pillars than the functionality, then there are faux bricks panels. They give the impression of actual bricks and are easier to install.

5.    Carved House Pillars

Carved house pillars bring a form of antique charm and appeal to your home. They are characterized by stunning carvings or etchings.

It is possible to use this design in the interiors of your home, but carved pillars are best situated outdoors. You could use them in places like the front entrance or the verandah.

6.    Arched House Pillars

This is a design that is sure to add a dramatic flair to your home. The idea is that two pillars are used to design an arch. The pillars are placed with a space in between and then connected at the top by an arch.

The arch created by these pillars could bring the look of an elevated ceiling and this design is especially stunning for entrances and corridors. It could be used both outdoors and indoors.

7.    Terrace House Pillars

The main function of this design of pillars is to support the portion of the house that bears the terrace or verandah.

It is exclusively an exterior house pillar design and another beautiful thing about it is that it can make room for sitting arrangements on the front porch.

8.    Tiled House Pillars

This design is sleek and wonderful. The idea is that a concrete pillar is layered with small pieces of tiles or ceramic.

It can be used for both the interior and exterior of your home, and another exciting thing about this pillar design is that it is easily cleanable. With a wet cloth, you are guaranteed to have your tiled pillar shining.
