Make the dining room more splendid with the Fine Furniture Design Dining Room Jardin Lattice Console 1352-856.
The lattice or latticework is a kind of open work framework that has crisscrosses or strip patterns. These are building materials that are usually metal or wood. This design is made by crossing the strips in order to create a weave or grid.
Latticework isn’t all design or all about beautification. It can also be functional, for instance, this can aid proper airflow through a space. This can also serve as a truss when used in as a lattice girder. Lattices are also used as a means to have privacy when you use a lattice screen.
Latticework, during the Classical period, were made of wood or stone. This was known as the transenna (plural form: transenne).
The Indian latticework was chiefly featured in many noble and rich peoples’ homes. They often surrounded the verandah or what they refer to as the baramdah. The upper levels of these rich Indian homes overlooked busy streets but they were shielded and given privacy by the latticed screens (some were even made of stone and were known as jalis). The private pools were also kept from the prying eyes of people with these screens.
The ornamental beauty of lattice has been around for thousands of years. They are found not just in India but in other nations throughout the world. The patterns and designs often depict the same visual theme or the style of the homeowner or the culture of that locality.
As mentioned, in India, this is a symbol of wealth. In the Middle East as well as North Africa, the latticework is often used on windows in order to keep the rooms cool. This also provides privacy for the homeowners.
Latticework isn’t just for windows and doors. When you’re feeling up to it, you can also use this as a decorative tool on your skylight or simply laid on the ceiling.
Latticework Divider
Architecture has never been the same after latticework has been introduced to the world of design. The solid, void or transparent doorways became more exciting.
Latticework is a kind of architectural flair. The Taj Mahal in India shows a great amount of latticework. And, come to think of it, the Eiffel Tower is a towering structure of latticework that’s the subject of many photographs for many years.
Even when talking contemporarily, where everyone seems to be embracing the minimalist way of life, people still find beauty and function in the patterns that latticework offers.
Imagine a latticed divider separating the stairs from the rest of the open space layout first story of your home. It can be made of light steel and painted in a contrasting color from the rest of the walls and the stairs.
Latticed Walls
Whether you want to refer to it simply as lattice or the more unfamiliar terms trellage or trelliage, the look offered by these patterns are making a wonderful comeback in recent years.
This décor technique isn’t easy to do. If you intend on making a DIY project with this pattern, well, you’ve got a lot of training to do. If you want to have latticework on your gorgeous walls, then you might have to commission a professional to do it.
A good room to begin in is the powder room where you can use a trellis overlay. This can make the room appear bigger. Try this on a mirrored surface and you can even magnify the space that this design element provides.
The lattice patterns can also be used as a part of a molding. Other uses for lattice include –
