Cheap architectural details
For many of my articles I talk about what you can do if you have plenty of money. However, there are plenty of things that you can do to your house that are cheap that will make your house unique. One of the ways to make your house unique is to add architectural interest. Older homes, i.e. homes built 1940’s and earlier, don’t have any problems because usually they are very ornate. Newer homes sometimes are left without any architectural interest to cut costs.
One of the examples of architectural details is crown molding. It can be easily put up and it can be cheap too. Another way to add architectural features is to take a large blank wall and take some trim and frame a centered area that takes up most of the blank wall. Then paint the inside of the trim a different color then the rest of the room. Then you have a little more architectural interest in your home that didn’t cost you a fortune.
