Architectural detailing can transform a home from bland and impressive, standard to custom, average to valuable. These details are the unique design features found in older homes, or the design extras of the newer ones. Architectural detailing can be built in with the original construction of the home, take for example arched entranceways and vaulted ceilings. However, when discussing architectural details as a home improvement they are those being added to an existing space. Consider how installing crown molding, baseboards and pillars creates style, elegance, and even the illusion of a larger space with higher ceilings. These features and other architectural details are also referred to as millwork when the building materials used are produced from a mill – traditionally a wooden mill that produces wood building materials, however today millwork is also manufactured from high-pressure plastics and composite materials. Custom or hand-crafted cabinets and fireplace mantels are a part of architectural detailing as well. Finish off your improvement by removing the doors and stair railings that came with your home for more unique designs.
