Should’ve added ceilings are 9’ doors/windows are @ 7’ now. We will be losing the door and adding a case opening the space is 32” wide. opening along with the

Most likely, each door has a 2x10 header with top and bottom liners that will need to be raised and placed under the top plate (depending on the framing, some framers put headers under the plate, which will make it much easier to make the arches). The remaining room height will determine your arch height that will span to the bottom of the header.

Depending on what is above, and if there is not much load being carried by the header, the size of the header can be reduced to get a higher archway opening.

Bev said it--too much work and $$$ for not much benefit.

I would not arch a narrow door that is underneath that much detailed crown. An arched door here is going to look like an after thought -- which it is really is. There is so, so much visual information here and it is all linear. One arched space is not going to look good.

Instead consider raising the height of the door way.

I hope you post when you are done. An ore dreanched space sounds wonderful and such a nice contrast to the open light filled white of the rest of your home.

One arched opening looks out of context. This only works if there are more than one and they are consistent with the style of the house.

I agree, no arches, they just do not go well in your house.

Thank you all so much!! No arch it is. And you’re right Bev. I do need to declutter a bit! A lot of what’s on the counter will be moving into the new bar/coffee room. Can’t wait!
If you have another minute I’d love to ask which grout everyone prefers here? Black or same as the hex? For new laundry room white walls/cabinets and white oak shelving/counters. Smaller room 5.5x8’ just fyi but Im not a fan of white grout with black tile.

I prefer when the grout is close in color to the tile for a less busy look

I agree with other posters - no need to arch the doorways.

Forget paying 6K for something that doesn't match anything else in the house. IF all the other doors were arched, then possibly. But that's not really a good location for your intended use either, so there's that. That's precisely why it was a laundry room. A bar needs to be closer to the living space, and be a part of it. And it doesn't matter what kind of bar, whether coffee, liquor, or smoothie.

As to the grout depends on the look you want. Black grout will make the hexagon shape more pronounced. Grey grout will blend with the tile and give a more homogeneous look

Thanks all. I want the grout to disappear (homogeneous) but am worried the gray will end up looking lighter and not disappear.

@minardi we put the laundry there during our last Reno and hate it being right off the kitchen. We’ve found a great spot for it back by bedrooms which is why we’re turning that space into the bar/coffee/pantry space which is right off the kitchen and right where everyone hangs out around the island. Never in the living room! lol

Thank you all for your help!!

Even if the light gray contrasts a bit with the tile, it's still not going to be a very big difference, not like black would be. Can you get a gray that's a smidge darker?

Yes I should be able to. Thank you for your help!
