A overview of décor for doors and corners
Architectural décor for doors and corners
Cnrtl definition: ARCHITECTURE
Fronton : A triangular or semi-circular decoration which tops and crowns the main entrance to a building.
The Greeks invented the door decorations known as “pediments”. Placed above the entrance to a temple, these pediments typically came in a triangular form adorned with mouldings. This is one of the main characteristics of Greek architecture.
This decoration was later adapted for widespread use in Roman architecture.
After disappearing during the Middle Ages, pediments reappeared during the Renaissance, in their primitive circular or pointed forms.
Andrea Palladio, an Italian Renaissance architect, expanded the use of these architectural elements to private homes. Known for writing The Four Books on Architecture, he was also a great critic of Gothic art.
Synonymous with elegance and refinement
Typical of great, spacious Haussmann flats, these door and corner decorations are a testimonial to ancestral know-how and architectural style.
This ornamentation is a real asset in enhancing interior décor, helping to show off cornice corners and enabling full exploitation of the potential of the areas over doors.
Between floral, geometric and graphic motifs, these architectural elements will reveal all the authentic charm of your interior.
The decorations over doors and in corners are the perfect blend of modernity, design and Art Deco.
Examples of décor for doors and corners
Rounded decorations
adding a soft touch to an interior space
Circular or rounded over-door decorations anchor the décor in refinement. These shapes provide not only stability but also movement. They enhance ceiling height and create an illusion of grandeur.
Because resolutely modern shapes can fit in with any architectural style, they can also be combined with leafy details to add a touch of nobility to an interior.

Decorations in a mashrabiya spirit
Mashrabiya decorations provide a real architectural edge thanks to their perforated motifs. They can be used to preserve the intimacy of a room whilst creating lighting effects.
These open motifs immerse your interior area in a Middle Eastern style, which is often a vehicle for a warm, social atmosphere.
Bedecked with these carefully worked, painstaking motifs, interiors and areas over doors can become true works of art.
