Portals and arches look great in wooden houses, giving the interior a rustic feel. In urban areas, verymodels that have a wavy or polygonal shape look interesting. Any person who decides to decorate their interior using an arch or a portal must initially decide what form the structure will be appropriate in a particular room.
