Complete the design of Your room with Architectural Molding
I have added several photos of the architectural molding used on our home during our renovation.
There are many styles of molding to choose of from. Pick the look that works best for your style to get the look you want for your home.
See the photo of the crown molding on the left that is used in the dining room.
This area used to have a wide border all the way around the living, dining and hallway areas.
It was removed and crown molding was installed. The overall look was much better.

Adding Architectural Molding to a room adds a touch of class to the space.
When we repainted our home we added alot of crown molding, chair rail molding, bead board, fluted trim, rosettes,beams and more to various areas of the house.
As the photo of our fireplace shows on the right below shows, you would never know that used to be a brick wall.
Now it has it own unique style. We have personalized it to reflect our style.
I am sure that if we put it on the market it would stand out from other homes in our neighborhood.(we have no intention of moving), so we want it to stand out.
We love our home, and are very happy with its transformation!

Here are some photos of more Architectural Molding
This photo on the right shows fluted trim and a rosette. This trim is painted vanilla bean color. I used a semi gloss paint so it can be wiped clean with needed.
This is the area where the beadboard wainscot ends in the hallway and the stairway begins.
The photo below shows the same type of trim used on the side with the stair rail. We added all of this architectural molding as we renovated the house.
This photos shows beadboard wainscoting used in the hallway. Notice the chair rail molding. We actually used 2 pieces of trim to make this chair rail.
The color is the same on all of the trim on this floor.
See the photo of the crown molding used in the hallway. With the addition of the crown molding, chair rail molding and beadboard wainscoting it breaks up the long narrow look the hallway had before. Now it has more interest and is more appealing to look at.
The entry doors into the rooms have six panels and new closet doors were added to match. See photo on the right.
New hardware was also added to the doors.
The wainscoting and chair rail were extended into the hallway bathroom.
The vanity front was painted to match the color of the hallway.
New hardware was added.
Actually there was alot more work done in this bathroom wall paper was removed, new sheetrock installed and a new 1 piece tub/shower was installed.
Plus new flooring to match the hallway, living and dining rooms was installed.
Crown molding was also installed in the hallway bathroom.
The changes continue into the bedrooms
Other rooms upstairs continue with the chair rail, as shown in this photo. This is a guest bedroom.
Overall we added alot of details, by including architectural molding to the home. You can too. IF you want start with one room, when you see the difference it makes I bet you will add more just like we have.
Architectural molding helps to separate our home from other similar style houses in the area we live. So in the future, when we do decide to sell it, buyers will not feel like they are looking at the same home, just a different color, because there are some homes in the area that are close in size and layout.
See how we transformed our basement with architectural molding
when we remodeled it.
