How to Incorporate Classic Architectural Elements

Trends are always coming back around, and one trend that never goes out of style, is classic style. In interior design, incorporating classic elements into your home can add timeless elegance and sophistication. These features not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your space, but also add a sense of history and character. 

Here’s how you can seamlessly integrate these elements into your home:

  1. Crown Moulding

Install crown moulding where the walls meet the ceiling to add a refined finish. Choose a style that complements your home’s architecture, whether it’s traditional, colonial, or modern classic.

  1. Baseboards and Chair Rails

Use baseboards to frame your floors and chair rails to protect your walls while adding visual interest. These moulding styles provide structure and detail to otherwise plain walls.

  1. Wainscoting:

Add wainscoting to your walls for a touch of classic elegance. This architectural feature enhances rooms like dining areas and hallways, creating a more formal, polished look.

  1. Elegant Stair Parts:

Upgrade your staircase with classic elements like wooden balusters, elegantly designed newel posts, and handrails that match the style of your home. Opt for traditional designs like turned or straight wooden balusters for a timeless appeal.

  1. Door and Window Casings:

Frame your doors and windows with detailed casings to highlight these architectural features and add depth to your interior design.

By thoughtfully incorporating these classic architectural elements, you can create a home that feels both timeless and beautifully crafted.
