Here are a few things to consider when planning a home renovation in Norwalk, CT
Style of House
Some styles of home in the Norwalk area include Modern, Ranch, Bungalow, Colonial and Victorian. When performing a home renovation, it is important to understand the differences of each and which trim profiles would best serve your home’s style. Contemporary or modern houses lend itself to sleek lines, very little detail, and a blended look to the walls. While a traditional Colonial will tend to have larger moldings with lots of detail which really stand out from its surroundings. It is equally important not to mix and match different style trim profiles in the same house. A door casing with ornate details would look out of place next to a flat baseboard and a slab door.
Proportions
Ever walk into a house and the millwork just doesn’t “feel” right? It’s as if your mind knows that something is wrong, but you aren’t sure exactly what it is. Often times, this is due to the moldings not being sized properly. A room with a 7’ ceiling shouldn’t have the same size trim as a room with 10’ ceilings. We don’t often see small rooms with trim that is too big. More often it is the trim which is too small for the room. From crown molding, to chair rail size and location, to baseboard and door casing, guidelines for these proportions have been established long ago. It is important that when remodeling your home, to understand what size moldings would look and feel “right” in your home.
Paint Grade vs Stain Grade
This can make a huge difference in the look and feel of your home. Newly installed trim with a fresh coat of white paint will give a clean, bright feel to your home. While that same trim with a wood stain will give a much warmer, softer look and feel. Also, whether you plan to paint or stain your trim will affect the type of wood that is used. Paint grade millwork is typically poplar or pine. Stain grade millwork will usually be a hardwood, such as oak, mahogany or cherry.
