Enhance Your Entryway With Corbels
Corbels are decorative supports that you mount against a wall to hold a horizontal structure, such as shelving or a fireplace mantel. They can add vintage charm to your home’s interior. At Lowe’s, we offer corbels in a variety of designs and styles, from classic shapes to contemporary, whimsical and everything in between.
Corbelling is the process of adding corbels to various structural features in foyers, living rooms, bathrooms, kitchens and fireplaces. This can improve the visual interest and aesthetic appeal of your room. For example, you can create the look of a corbelled arch to give an entryway extra elegance, or make a corbelled shelf to turn a basic shelving board into a decorative focal point. Another idea is to use kitchen island corbels to add a stylish look to overhanging countertops.
Corbels are available in a variety of materials, including wood and metal. Wood corbel options include unfinished poplar, pine, maple and more. You’ll also find elegant iron corbels. For exterior corbels, urethane, polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are good, low-maintenance options, but make sure they’re rated for outdoor use. Find load-bearing and non-load-bearing corbels as well.
Decorative corbels are available in a range of colors, including white, brown, black, red, green, bronze and many more.
