It’s All in the Details: Adding those Small Touches that Make a Big Difference

By
Real Estate Agent with Phyllis Frankel Realty Group | Ponte Vedra Real Estate

Sometimes it's not about the gourmet kitchen or the in-ground swimming pool. Instead, it's often those small details that really pull a Phyllis Frankel Realty Group home together and showcase the rooms. Best of all, you need not spend a fortune to give your home the final, decorative touch it is missing.


    • Moldings - Moldings, whether they are baseboard moldings, crown moldings or chair rails, are a fantastic way to add interest, depth and dimension to any room in your home. You can stack them together to create dramatic ceilings, frame them out to make beautiful, shadowbox moldings for a formal dining room, or to add a casual chair rail to a cozy breakfast nook. Moldings can be painted or stained, and many are sold primed and ready to paint.

 

    • Drawer pulls - If your kitchen is giving you the blues, yet the thought of replacing your outdated cabinetry with costly new cabinets gives you the hives, then you may need to think outside the box. A great way to instantly update worn cabinetry is with a fresh coat of paint and new drawer pulls. There is a seemingly endless variety of drawer pulls available, which thereby enables you to create the look and feel that you are trying to achieve. From modern to country to sleek and contemporary, there are drawer pulls to suit your design dreams.

 

    • Wall colors - Most decorators will tell you that one of the easiest ways to transform a room is with a can of paint. When painting a room, consider adding depth with faux wall treatments; consider adding whimsy with stripes; or considering adding interest with neutral walls and a striking, bold accent wall.

 

  • Wall Art and Mirrors - A beautiful room is never complete without adorning the walls. Choose a few, bold pieces for a modern room, or several groupings of photographs or mirrors for a more traditional home.
