COLUMNS – Nothing says “classic” like wood columns. That’s because the classic column designs have been around for a long while – since before the rise of ancient Greece!
But it was the Greeks who developed many of the classic column principles we still use today to make the best column designs. And it was the Romans who continued to refine and document these principles. Balance. Scale. Proportion. These are the principles that guided the Ancients. These are the principles that guide us in the columns we design for you.
We have created several Doric column variations to help you get classic column looks for you particular interior wood column project. Columns with blocks attached top and bottom give you flexibility for kitchen island projects. Columns without blocks feature shaft and trim, and are really useful for interior half-wall columns and fireplace mantles. Modular columns are based on the Doric column design, but give you interchangeability and versatility for cabinetry and door trim.
If you need Craftsman-era interior columns, there are two product lines. The Morris Column Collection is the only collection of true tapering Mission-style columns for interior work that we know of. And, the Craftsman Columns feature a clean, rectilinear form adorned with chamfered corners that terminate in a soft ogee or "lambs tongue."
If you are looking for interior columns that don’t have all that historical baggage associated with them, Matthew has designed two fantastic Transitional-style columns. Both the
Harvest Column and the
Essex Column use classic forms, but in a unique way that makes them more versatile in contemporary interior design work.
Kitchens by their nature require a lot of custom design work. To help you, tablelegs.com has many column variations giving you most all the upper post and lower block options you could possibly need for cabinet and kitchen island work. Nowhere are there more options for interior wood columns.
Still, if you cannot find exactly what you are looking for, we can modify your columns upon request for a very nominal fee. It is hugely valuable to you to be able to adjust most any column dimension to fit your need. Longer, wider, taller blocks, shorter shaft lengths are easy modifications for us to make, so you get just what you need.
