How to Revitalize a Room by Refreshing Your Molding

by Lori Madden 05/15/2022

Sometimes, the trick to revitalizing an entire room is to focus on the details. You don't need to paint the room a new color or install fresh flooring in order to achieve a stellar look. When you decide to update and upgrade your molding, you will add a sense of timeless elegance to your room in a matter of moments.

These are just a few reasons you should add crown molding to any room in your home:

Crown Molding Complements Most Design Styles

Crown molding is a classic design accent, and it can work with many types of interior design styles. From sleek, modern rooms to grand homes with traditional approaches to design, crown molding can help improve the overall look and feel of just about any room. That it is flexible and versatile makes it one of the most valuable home improvement projects you can take on.

Crown Molding Serves as a Frame For Your Room

Crown molding is installed where the wall meets the ceiling, separating the two areas in a way that is both stylish and sophisticated. By having this accent piece in place, the color on your walls will appear deep and vibrant. It also adds a sense of symmetry to the room and can easily be incorporated as an accent in other areas — such as around the windows or as a mantle above a fireplace. It allows you to outline your room and create a blank canvas that can be decorated according to your preferences.

Crown Molding Makes Your Home More Appealing to Prospective Buyers

As with any home improvement project, consider not only your own preferences, but what a prospective homebuyer may be interested in. Fortunately, crown molding is eternally popular and beloved.

Whether you want to create a graceful atmosphere in your entryway or you are looking to achieve a distinguished look in your home office, crown molding can make a significant difference in the appearance of your room.

As a Florida native growing up in Sarasota, I have seen my hometown grow from a sleepy coastal town to a highly sought-after destination along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. After working in Chicago for 5 years, I returned to Sarasota and saw it through a new lens and really began to appreciate what makes Sarasota so desirable, including temperatures that allow for year round outdoor activities including tennis (a personal favorite), golf, boating, kayaking, fishing, paddle boarding, or just relaxing and/or shelling on our pristine sandy shores, including Dr. Beach’s #1 beach in the United States for 2017, Siesta Key! Sarasota’s cultural amenities are many and diverse, appealing to a wide range of arts lovers. Downtown Sarasota has become a destination in itself, drawing many new developments for those who want to be within walking distance of Main Street's offerings and the picturesque bayfront and marina. Foodies will find an eclectic mix of locally owned and operated restaurants offering something for everyone, and there are now Farmers Markets every day of the week in various locations throughout Sarasota, but the Saturday morning Farmers Market in downtown Sarasota draws the biggest crowds. Since 1988, my passion has been selling real estate, representing both buyers and sellers. I have been recognized by my clients and customers for an uncompromising work ethic and dedication to helping them achieve their real estate goals. Relying on my experience as a real estate paralegal and being highly organized, I am able to help make the transition between contract and closing a smooth one for my clients. With an eye for interior and landscape design, I've been known to pitch in and help Sellers minimize and/or reorganize their belongings in order to stage their home to maximize its sale potential. I specialize in out of state buyers looking for their piece of paradise along the Gulf Coast and make it a priority to keep them up to date on our quickly changing local real estate market. I welcome the opportunity to share with you all Sarasota and her surrounding islands have to offer!
