There is nothing grander than a home with soaring ceilings that draw your eye up and create a feeling of openness in your living spaces. As you dive into your upcoming home remodel, consider adding this to your list. And by leaving exposed trusses you add a beautiful and architectural design element that coordinates with many different home design styles.
Trim and Molding
One big difference between a grand home and one that looks slightly underdone is the quality and size of the trim and molding, Many builders from the last few decades were drawn to a narrow trim and baseboard that doesn't leave much of an impression on the homeowners or home buyers of today. If the trim work in your home leaves something to be desired, consider replacing it with something heftier that makes more of a statement in your home. Bear in mind that the style of trim that looks best in your home will be dependent upon the style of your home.
Handcrafted Features
Speaking of trim, what better way to create an updated, grand feeling in your home than to hire a craftsman to build it. Investing in handmade items that are built specifically for your home is key to making it feel intentional and special. From your kitchen cabinets to your new stair rail, invest in hand crafted items to make your home remodeling project one of a kind.
Skip The Big Box Stores
Everyone on your block goes to the same local chain home improvement store and chooses from the same 10 chandeliers. An excellent way to make your grand home remodel stand apart is to skip the box stores altogether. If you’re looking to remodel your home into a special and high-end abode there are many better ways to shop for materials than just buying what you can find at Lowes. From estate sales and antique stores to working directly with high-end designers, you’re more likely to get just what you want out of your grand home remodeling project if you use the best materials.
There are so many great reasons to invest in a home remodeling project rather than simply buying something new. Your home holds great memories, you love the location and the lot. And while going grander may seem impossible in your current home, taking on these strategic projects will make a world of difference.
