Bedroom Doors, Wood Trim, Crown Molding, Closet Doors, Wainscoting – oh yeah!
Replace interior doors
Do your bedroom doors look like the same ones your grandma has in her house? Have the kids beat them to hell? Maybe the builder used cheap interior doors and they feel like closing a box of cereal? The good news is that you don’t need a 2nd mortgage to replace interior doors with an upgraded solid core door and classy style that makes sense for this century.
Upgrade Wood Trim
Baseboards, door trim and window trim are the unsung hero of your home’s design. Nothing dates a house faster than orange trim form the 80’s. Sure, it’s fun to watch Stranger Things – but do you really want your house to look dingy and drab like that?
Install Crown Molding
You don’t need to cash in your kid’s college fund to make a statement that everyone will notice. A simple crown molding detail in a living room, dining room or main hallway will instantly scream of class and dignity. Plus, it’s guaranteed to make your in-laws jealous. Win-Win!
Replace Closet Doors
Those beat up bifold doors that never close right have had their day. Replacing them with double doors / french doors or modern sleek panels makes bedrooms look bigger, brighter and much less chaotic.
Install Wainscoting
If your walls feel naked and afraid – think about adding some wainscoting for architectural interest. Simple board and batten styles are affordable, quick and wildly affective at making your entryway or dining room look magazine worthy without going full remodel.
Final Word
The best news is that you can update the home that you love without the costs, headaches or mess of a full remodel. Any one of these updates can be done quickly, efficiently and without dipping into that 401k.
