Browse 14 arch designs by style and home type, from a simple arched doorway to arched doors, niches, mirrors and rounded walls, then see how each is built.
Arch design in a home usually means one of five things: an arched doorway with no door, an arched door made to fit a round-top frame, an arched niche for display or storage, an arched mirror or headboard that gives the curve without touching the wall, or a curved wall end. The first three change the wall itself, so the wall type decides what is possible; the last two are add-ons that suit any home, including rented condos. Use the filters below to narrow the 14 concept designs by style or home type.
Each design below is an illustrative concept render, grouped by style and by the home it usually suits. Tap any image to enlarge it. Every card links to the ClickBina guide that covers the opening, the door, the niche or the cost behind that look.

Arches have become the most requested curve in Klang Valley renovations because they soften a room without adding clutter. They work best as one repeated idea rather than curves everywhere: an arched doorway between the living and dining areas, a matching niche nearby, perhaps an arched mirror upstairs.
In a condo, keep to arches that do not cut structure: mirrors, headboards, niches in a false wall and arched joinery. In a landed home, a new arched opening in a brick partition is often possible once the wall has been checked.
| Arch shape | Look | Where it suits | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round top (semicircle) | The classic arch; height grows with width | Doorways, niches, mirrors | A wide opening needs a tall wall above it |
| Elliptical or shallow | Wide and low, calmer | Kitchen openings, wide passages | A flat curve shows any unevenness |
| Tall slim arch | Elegant, vertical | Display niches, full-length mirrors | Narrow niches hold little; plan shelf depth |
| Rounded corner | Soft wall end, no sharp edge | Corridors, stair halls, living rooms | Skirting and flooring have to follow the curve |
| Arched joinery | The curve in doors, panels and headboards | Bedrooms, wardrobes, rented homes | Curved timber and panels cost more than flat ones |
A new arched doorway starts the same way as any new door opening. ClickBina's new door opening guide sets out the order: confirm the wall is a non-structural brick partition, hack the opening, put a lintel across the top and make good the edges. The arch is then formed inside that opening with a template, a frame and plaster or bent board, so the curve sits under the lintel rather than replacing it.
Load-bearing walls are a different job. The wall hacking guide is clear that an opening in a structural wall needs drawings from a professional engineer and a beam designed for the load, and the lintel guide explains why no opening should be left without something carrying the wall above it. Many condo walls around kitchens and bathrooms are reinforced concrete, which is why condo arches are usually niches, joinery and mirrors.
Niches are normally built into a false wall rather than cut deep into the existing one, because the existing wall may hide pipes or cables. Arched doors are made to measure: the opening, the frame and the leaf all follow one template, so the door is ordered only after the arch is formed and checked.
| Room | Arch idea that usually works | What to ask for |
|---|---|---|
| Living and dining | Full-height arched doorway, display niches | Wall type check and one radius used throughout |
| Kitchen | Wide shallow arch or arched glass doors | Plans checked for structural walls; a clear swing zone for doors |
| Bedroom | Arched headboard, wardrobe niche, full-length mirror | Removable or wipeable headboard cover; mirror fixings |
| Bathroom | Arched mirror, arched shower niche | Niche waterproofed and sloped; mirror on sound tiles |
| Foyer | Arched alcove with a bench | Bench clear of the door swing; a light in the alcove |
There is no single price for an arch, because the wall work, the curve and the finish are separate lines. ClickBina's new door opening guide prices the opening in a brick partition (indicative Klang Valley ranges for 2026): hacking RM10 – RM25 per sq ft, an RC lintel RM300 – RM800 per opening and make-good after hacking RM800 – RM2,500 per opening. Forming the arch itself is quoted on top of that, from your drawing.
Add-on arches are priced like the joinery or tiling they belong to. The shower niche guide lists mosaic tiling, niche and border work at RM20 – RM45 per sq ft; the custom bed frame guide puts laminate headboard joinery at RM280 – RM420 per ft run; and a built-in wardrobe runs about RM180 – RM600 per foot run depending on material. Hanging a single mirror is RM40 – RM80 per piece, with the arched mirror itself extra. Arched doors are made to measure and are quoted per door.
