what to look for in your new exterior door

If you have ever gone on an architectural or design trip to Europe, then you will know that one of the most common trends is woodwork. Woodwork adds a traditional feel to just about any space while also adding dimension and character. And if you follow interior design you will notice that woodwork has made a comeback. Whether you are building a home or remodeling your existing one, there are some ways that you can incorporate this fun trend into your interiors which this article will take a closer look at. Read on to learn more.

Crown Molding

Crown molding is molding that is installed at the top of your ceiling where the wall meets the ceiling. Crown molding is fun because it can transform every room in your house with just one thick piece of molding. And the unique thing about crown molding is that there are different options to choose from. For instance, there are types of molding that are more intricate and there are ones that are a bit more modern. When you meet with a crown molding installer, they can usually show you the different options there are and how they will look in your house.

Wainscoting

A big trend right now in woodwork is wainscoting. Wainscoting is a design where you place thick pieces of trim work all across a wall to help add depth and dimension to it. The fun thing about wainscoting is that you can cover an entire wall in it or you can just add it three-quarters of the way up the wall to make a little accent piece. If your house is traditional, then you can do thick, traditional style wainscoting. Whereas if it's a little bit more contemporary, then you can do something like board and batten. 

Shiplap

If there's one thing to learn from Chip and Joanna Gaines, it's that Shiplap is always in. Shiplap is horizontal planks of wood that are placed close together to create an accent piece. Traditionally, shiplap was used in houses in the south for structure, but now it is simply done for aesthetics. If you want to add a little bit of flair to your shiplap, you can always have it hung vertically to change the look of the whole thing. 

Woodwork is a fun and unique way to add a little bit of character to your home. Keep these different options in mind when you are remodeling your house or building a new one.
