Clever Design Hack: Hiding Load-Bearing Columns in Your Living Space

Incorporating Load-Bearing Columns: A Belarusian Designer's Clever Solution A Belarusian interior designer, Artem Alekseev, recently shared a video demonstrating a creative solution for integrating a load-bearing column into a kitchen-living room design. The challenge of incorporating such a structural element is common in many homes, and Alekseev's approach offers a practical and visually appealing solution. The video shows how he designed a 70-inch TV zone, incorporating a long console unit that cleverly hides the column. This console provides shallow storage space, perfect for media devices, and even accommodates a record player. Alekseev highlights the inclusion of power outlets on the console, emphasizing functionality. "The unified console is not just visually appealing," Alekseev explains, "but it also provides practical storage and access to power outlets, making the space functional and aesthetically pleasing." The design seamlessly integrates the column, turning a potential design obstacle into a key element of the room's layout. Alekseev's approach is a testament to the power of creative problem-solving in interior design, offering inspiration to homeowners and designers alike. His work demonstrates that even structural limitations can be transformed into design assets.
