Share on Twitter | Email To Friend | Posted by Anna in General Remodel.
Have you ever taken the time to observe the unique features in custom homes that all contribute to create more of an upscale appearance? Take a few moments to browse through an interior design magazine or do a few searches online. You will notice that in many of these homes, the doorways are enhanced in some custom manner. There are many ways to do this, and we’ll discuss some of those options below.
- One way to dress-up a doorway is to simply widen it. If you widen a standard doorway by just a few inches, it will instantly create a more unique look. This isn’t always feasible, but can be quite simple for a contractor.
- Using decorative moldings is one of the best ways to bring style to your doorways. Encase the door-frame with decorative columned moldings with a crowning trim. There are several different beautiful molding options, allowing you to find the right size and right style to fit your theme. It isn’t very common to have different trim colors inside your home, but one elegant touch is through the use of stained wood. Encase your doorway with a beautiful-stained wood molding. You can use the same molding for baseboard or window trims to tie it all together.
- The third way to bring some creativity to your home is through the use of arches and other special effects built into the drywall. You can even build plant shelves into the wall around the doorway or above for more light and display.
