Have you ever noticed that the houses built in the 60s and
earlier, seemed more details in sports architecture? Wider frames, arches,
niches, built in cabinets and bookcases. Details such as brackets and columns
were used in combination with partitions and doors interesting details.
Builders of the 70 showed that, by eliminating unnecessary
details, they could reduce costs and build more houses that profit margins
increased. Certainly it was a good "business" move, but let us all
with a simple, unattractive rooms. Therefore, placing 1970 houses lost that
attractive "architectural interest" now that we want.
With a further step towards focusing on interior living
spaces across the country, a trip to your local outlet of the house now
provides a wide selection of moldings, details, wooden cabinets and kits
"do it yourself "door that architecture to bring into our homes.
Architectural detail is the "bones" of the
Interior and is usually the first consideration when considering a room
makeover. Generally, rooms are stripped of all furniture and window coverings
to reveal exactly what the room really to offer.
With few details added by manufacturers, it is up to us as
owners to restore.
Plaster cast is a way to add architectural interest to a
room as clear moldings, corbels, columns, mantles and further detailing created
by placing permanent fixtures to walls and ceilings.
If our country has taken a new attitude of conservation in
recent decades, we see more and more products 'false' (false) entered into the
world of interior design. One example is the new, ornate moldings, resin. These
detailed lists seem to be carved and painted wood. Yet they are a plastic and
wooden material that holds up well to abuse, rot and insects, and is more
durable and long lasting than regular wood moldings. Similar material is used
for flooring in the open.
So how do you go about adding architectural interest to your
room? Here are some ideas:
Use 1 x 6 boards around the inside edge of your ceiling a
"framework" to create. Fill cracks between pieces of wood with paint
or caulking joint compound and smooth. Then paint the ceiling a very pale blue
paint of the new image in the same color as your walls. This creates a
"tray ceiling" which is now so popular with new home builders and is
a good but inexpensive way to instantly add detail to the ceiling. Promotion of
the project by adding moldings against the new framework on level of the wall a
more finished look.
Make your own simple columns:
Make two squares, open wooden boxes measuring 6x6 pre-sanded
"(you later add a 6x6" in each box). It will be used as column header
and background. Before the buds on each box, plug in a station 4x4 in sand
together by heavy bolts. Add the tops to the boxes and then get up and press in
place between the ceiling and floor with a rubber mallet. Then the top and
bottom with the forms of the crown of the paint color is the wall. Measures 4x4
"post depends on the height of your ceiling. Do not forget the length of
your column header and combined down to your final measurement to be taken. The
entire column can be embellished with an ornate molded plaster or Plaster
raised stencil for more details. short columns can be made in the same way be
used as plant stands.
Consoles are a great addition to architectural and
increasingly popular. These can now be purchased at your local home store or
special websites (just do a search for consoles on the Internet) or find
bargains on great auction sites. Consoles come in many different shapes and
sizes, and can be used under your fireplace mantel, under your kitchen cabinet
finishes inside wide doors or door elements to create unique on the outside
edge of a door or window, then add a glass or on a wooden shelf above the use
of displaying collectibles.
Even if you do not want to go through the trouble of
replacing your existing profiles, do not look exciting accessories to moldings
now found in your shop at home. These are wooden, corner accessories that add
interest to the corners of rooms and can be included directly into your
existing lists. Straight versions of the same designs are available. I prefer
to use them in the top corners of the frames for an old "Victorian"
look.
There are many ways to the growing importance of your rooms.
