Add A WOW Effect to Sell Your House!

(ARA) - Whether you're selling your home or planning to live there for years to come, you can add interest and value using architectural elements. Customizing your kitchen, bath or master bedroom using architectural elements is a simple way to set your home apart and increase the "wow factor" of those rooms that real estate agents say sell houses. Kitchens * Add decorative corbels (an architectural support bracket), panel and crown mouldings to stock cabinets to create a high-end, customized appearance. * Add a ceiling medallion above the breakfast bar or table to enhance a light fixture and create a focal point. Baths * Switch out the simple wood trim around doors for elegant casings and add a chair rail at mid-wall height. * Add a decorative shelf or mantel for display of art, plants or your favorite fragrance bottles. Master Bedrooms * Trimming the bedroom with crown moulding shows attention to detail and complements rooms of any style. * Add a niche to your wall for dramatic display space. Highlight special photos, keepsakes or a piece of art. Adding architectural elements to customize the spaces in your home doesn't have to be difficult or expensive. Companies such as Focal Point use a light-weight, closed-cell polyurethane that won't rot or mildew to create detailed mouldings and decorations. The pieces look like plaster and wood, but offer a cost-effective and time-saving alternative to traditional materials.
