One of the essential structures of a home, columns are what give a building support and carry its weight. To set a strong foundation of the home, these columns at times, run through rooms. They generally not add to the appeal of your home. Hence, MakaaniQ lists several ways in which you can design and dress them and make them a part of your home décor.

Unique statement: Use the column creatively and in a unique way, considering its functionality in the loop. You can use them as a support for your staircase; hence, serving a dual purpose.

Brick by brick: Use a traditional brick-style on to the columns to add authenticity to the décor. The bricked column with light-coloured walls make a great pair for an area's design.

Carved in time: Want to add an element of traditional Roman and Greek architecture? Get your columns carved in a beautiful design and shape.

For the love of books: Another interesting use of the column is by getting a customised bookshelf around it. With this, the column will be highly useful for storage purpose.

Go green: Wrap the columns green with creepers that grow vertically. Bringing nature indoors will not only add to the beauty of the column but also the room alltogether.

Paint a dream: Paint the columns in bright colours to make them a part of your home décor. Match the colour with furniture or other home décor accessories. To create an impact, paint the column in contrast to the colour on the walls.

A unique statement: Use the column creatively and in a unique way, considering its functionality in the loop. You can use them as a support for your staircase; hence, serving a dual purpose.

Set in stone: Cover the columns with marble, natural stones or tiles. A marble-finished column in a living room will add the shine and class to the structure.

Steel the show: Use steel as a cover for columns to add some uniqueness and durability. To use such columns further you can also mount your television on the column to access it easily from different corners of the room.

Turning tables: The columns in the kitchen or the dining area can be put to good use by customising the furniture. Get a customised table fixed between two columns to make the perfect use of the space.
