Architectural Details Count

As a professional home stager/property stylist (and a property investor), I've seen a lot of homes. All have both positives and negatives. But a lucky few have something I think is really special. Something truly valuable and often unique.

So, if you've got any of these glorious built-in features in your home, get to work on showing them off in all their spectacular glory!

Here are my 6 all-time favourite architectural features.   

Fireplace: Be it modern or tradtional, nothing says 'warm and cozy' better than a fireplace. Make the most of your fireplace by keeping it maintained (even out of season) and well presented. If it needs a little TLC to make it more of a positive, get right on it.

 

 

Stairs: Either modern or traditional, they are a feature you can't ignore. As you can see, they don't have to be just a way of getting to the 1^st floor. If you're selling, use them to beckon the buyer to see more.

 

Crown Mouldings: A decorative finish that adds a special touch of class to any room. Highlight crown mouldings with a gloss finish paint, as shown here.

 

 

Windows: Flooding the room with natural light and inviting you to absorb the view. Don't underestimate their value. Make the most of them when you're selling by keeping them clean and uncovered, unless privacy is an issue.

 

  

Period Home: A period home exudes a charm that modern houses can't keep up with. They have an appeal and finish all their own. Mind you, decorating touches should be ‘complementary' of the property'sfeatures not ‘faithful'. By that I mean we like the ‘look' of the turn of the century home, but in a practical sense, few buyers want to live like they did back then. So even in the period home, some upgrades will be expected.

 

 

Built-in Cabinetry: And not just because it looks good, but also because it's super practical and therefore valuable. Like I always say; you can't have too much storage.

These are all time favourites features - what are yours?
