I was walking through the primary bath of a home we are building and our client made a call I want to talk about. She had originally planned an arch for the doorway detail. She walked in, looked at it in the actual space, and said it was not it.
An arch pulls a room in a particular direction. Depending on the ceiling height, the tile, the trim profile, it can feel exactly right or completely out of place. This one was out of place.
We went with a corbel design instead, and it works. Same structural opening, but the detail now fits the mood of the house. That is the whole job: getting the details to feel like they were always supposed to be there.
