Adding Vintage Charm: Installing Wainscoting to your Condos in Arlington VA
If you’ve just purchased a new construction condo or home and want to add some eye-popping details, wainscoting might be the answer. Wainscoting can add value and warmth to your home or condos in Arlington VA.
Few homes today are built with the same attention to detail as in the past. Towering white walls and a lack of architectural details are the norm in most new construction – but this is a problem easily solved.
One simple way to evoke a classic look that adds richness and warmth is through the use of wainscoting. This traditional (used regularly in the 18th and 19th centuries) paneled decorating element is relatively inexpensive and easy to install, and can turn a boring wall into something extraordinary.
When painted a contrasting color to the wall above, wainscoting can make a dramatic statement. If painted a similar color as the wall it frames, the details of decorative molding and trim can make the space filled with subtle charm.
Wainscot works in many different decorating schemes. For example, simple yet stylish paneled wainscoting in a dining room, installed at chair height, lends an Old World, sophisticated feel to the space, while beadboard wainscot paneling in a baby nursery, however, lends a cozy, cottage look to the room.
Better yet, the addition of wainscoting is something that can easily be tackled by an aspiring do-it-yourselfer.
No matter what the age of your home or condos in Arlington VA, there is simply no reason to live without rich architectural details. Obtainable on almost any budget, these simple additions to your home or condos in Arlington VA will add instant value and give you the best of both worlds – new construction that is chock full of traditional charm.
