Adding architectural pizzazz to your home interior doesn't have to be complex or expensive. It can be as simple as adding an arch to a doorway.
This is a cosmetic improvement that doesn't involve any structural change to an existing opening. The kit ordered online from Arch-Rite.com for this 44" opening was less than $50 (including shipping), the licensed contractor charged $300 to install it, and the entire project was less than a week from order to completion. I think this is a lot of bang for the buck!
Arch kits come in many sizes, ranging from 35 inches to 75 inches. You're looking at an eye-brow arch, but half-round and ellyptical arches are available, too. In fact, they have kits for installing a dome ceiling. If you're pretty handy and want to do the work yourself, check out the short how-to videos for each type of arch. They're available on the Arch-Rite website and on YouTube.
This could be THE stand-out selling feature for your home when it goes on the market for sale... a feature that will set it apart from many similar homes in the same price-range.
