Maybe you’ve recently remodeled a room, or maybe you’ve got a room that you’ve never found the time to put into decorating. But just a few small changes can make a huge difference in the look and feel of a room. Check out our tips on how some simple touches can add character to a space, and call our team for more expert remodeling advice.

Small architectural design touches

Transform a kitchen from basic to beautiful by adding on intricate molding to windows, replacing old baseboard molding, or changing out the legs of your furniture with unique carved legs. Talk to your contractor about fitting in some minor architectural details during a remodel.

Add window treatments

One of the easiest ways to add character to a room is to hang up some curtains or a colorful valance. Curtains can add a pop of color to an otherwise drab space, and they can bring life to a plain window area without a high cost.

Update doorknobs, handles, and cabinets

These are all little details that can make a big difference when you’re trying to update a room. Find a theme for the handles on your kitchen cabinets and purchase like items at the local hardware store. Consider an antique brass look for your doorknobs. Paint the cabinets for a quick way to change up an old kitchen. Think small when a major remodel is not an option.

Go vintage

Struggling to find a design theme in a recently remodeled room? Go vintage! It’s a stylish option that often comes with little expense. Check thrift stores if you’re on a budget, go to yard sales, or look for new items with a worn look.
