1. For an elegant feel, install custom millwork through a staircase and up to your balcony. Visible upstairs and below, this dramatic design is a focal point for both areas. The style draws the eye upwards when viewed from downstairs, basically acting as artwork. Functionally, the banister and balcony are sturdy and will last through everyday wear and tear.

2. A formal living room calls for a striking entrance, which you’ll accomplish by installing ornamental pillars at the doorway. Painting them white adds elegance to the space, enhancing the look of opulence and richness. If your design preferences lean more towards contemporary, opt for a glossy black finish. You can even incorporate shelving to display books and memorable photos.

3. The trim around windows, doors and the ceiling of any room looks gorgeous when you incorporate interior millwork as a finishing detail. The room looks larger if you add crown molding that coordinates with the trim for a cohesive style. No matter whether you prefer classic, modern or traditional in your decor, the touch of custom millwork brings the room together. White is a common color, but stained wood adds dimension.
