Most people recognize that when they buy a house they will continue to make changes, upgrades and renovations. These are things that you do to get the home you always wanted and to add charm and character to your house. There are some things that you can do to add a big impact to the home. You want to have a home that gives off the look and the feel that you want and shows off your style. Many people will choose to take on a big project like a kitchen or a bathroom but there are other things you can do that will make a huge difference to the overall look. One areas of the house that you can start with is the trim. There is trim all over your house and areas that you can add more trim. McKay’s Painting outlines what you need to know about upgrading the trim around your house.

Upgrade Existing Baseboard

One of the areas of the house that you can make an impact with is the baseboards. Most homes have boards that are placed along the floor line where the wall and the flooring meet. The baseboard is a way to create that separation. The problem is that the baseboard that you got when the house was built is likely small and has no character at all. The baseboard in the house can be upgraded to something that is much more interesting. You want to look at what the options are that exist for your home. You can choose a taller baseboard that is more dramatic or you can go with an ornate option. There are different looks and feels and you want to make sure you are happy with the option that you choose. The baseboard is also going to need to be painted and most people will go with a gloss white.

Install Crown Molding

The other area of the house that you can add to is called crown molding. The crown molding is something that does not come standard in most homes. The crown molding comes in at the top of the wall and separates that from the ceiling. This is an area that many people that choose to leave alone and have a line of paint color from the wall and ceiling that offer that separation. The great thing is that you can have crown molding installed to make a much bigger impact. You can choose from many types of molding in terms of design and size. Once you decide on what you want you can have it installed around the house. This is a way to add some elegance to the space in your home. It will make your home stand out from other homes in the area.

Add a Chair Rail

One area of the house that you can add is called a chair rail. The chair rail can be added to the walls at a specific height where a chair may pull back and hit the wall. This is a way to create a dynamic where you can use two colors of paint. The chair rail is often in dining rooms and even in bedrooms.
