Home Staging with Moldings

home-staging-with-moldings-1

Home staging with moldings is a fast and inexpensive way to make a big difference in the aesthetic appeal of your home. Decorative moldings are more popular than ever and truly give any room a more finished and sophisticated look. Moldings come in a wide variety of different styles and can be used in many areas and applications throughout your house or apartment.

This discussion will highlight the benefits of installing moldings inside any home and will detail specific uses that are ideal for home staging work.

Home Staging with Moldings Options

Moldings can be used in traditional or non-traditional ways throughout the interior design sector. Traditional molding applications are usually performed along the seam where the floor meets the wall.  This is called baseboard molding. Moldings are also usually installed where the ceiling meets the wall. This is referred to as crown molding.

Baseboard moldings are almost always found in every home, although their style and decorative potential may vary greatly. Crown molding is not found in all homes, but is an easy add-on which will draw the eye upwards to show off a high ceiling, as well as the architectural detailing of the molding itself.

Non-traditional applications for moldings are also terrific solutions for many home staging issues. Moldings make great decorative trim for any project and can be used to finish off rough areas around doors, windows or stairways.

One of my favorite applications of molding is when it is used to create raised-panel designs on otherwise plain and boring walls. A few minutes work can completely enhance any surface, making it come to life with renewed interest and classic elegance.

 

Home Staging with Moldings Installation

Moldings are very easy to buy, cut and install, making them an perfect complement to a DIY home staging plan. Moldings are not expensive and can be purchased in unfinished or pre-finished styles, in a wide range of materials from wood to composite to resin.

Installing moldings is easy with a miter saw, some construction adhesive and a nail gun. If you do not have these tools, they can be rented for a low daily cost. When installing moldings, remember to join all angles first and cut the straight sections last. This way, all the joints will be smooth and seamless. Always measure twice and then cut, to avoid waste and error.

Other handy tools for molding installation include an accurate level, a helpful assistant and some patience.

 

Home Staging with Moldings Advice

For adding architectural interest and texture, there is no solution which is as fast, inexpensive and easy-to-do as molding installation. This is truly a project which virtually anyone can successfully complete without hiring a pro. Most of the work is measuring, while the installation itself is very easy.

I highly recommend molding installation to anyone who is trying to maximize the profit from their home sale. For an investment of a $200 to $400, you are likely to see a return of several thousand.  This is easy money.

To learn more about using molding to prepare your home for sale as part of a property staging plan, consult with a qualified professional home stager or consider learning more about DIY techniques using books, television shows or even hiring a real estate staging consultant.
