creating architecture

Many times, despite how well you can decorate a house, what it is missing is architectural detail - trim, molding, soffits, coffers, fireplaces, columns, and you essentially have a sort of white box.  Quite common in new buildings, the details are left out in favor of expediency & frugality.  Here are some ways to add those details in after the architecture and construction are complete.

1. Add beams, imagine this room without those great ceiling beams.  Boring.
