Sometimes we find a home with perfect architectural details.
But mostly, we don't.
Most often we need to add the details that make a room beautiful.
like coffered or plank ceilings,
crown and base moldings
built in cabinets
and window trim...
and....
Occasionally we need to remove things -
walls or weird architectural elements...
like -
what the heck were they thinking?
but most often you will need to add some charm...
If you are living in a fairly modern suburban tract home,
you are probably living without a lot of the details
that I believe create beauty and quality in a room
here are a few budget friendly and DIY changes you can make...
framed windows
substantial crown moldings
a little molding around those bathroom mirrors creates instant charm...
beef up your baseboards...

how to here
frame out doors and room openings
When you hire a professional,
walls can be more than drywall, plaster and paint
Staircases are classic areas for a little architectural charm.
skirting and paneling embellish and enhance the walls
spindles, posts, bannisters can add great style
and don't forget the 5th wall - the ceiling...
