Over the past year, homeowners began to consider the inter- section of function and de- sign in new ways. Weekend warriors are dedicating themselves to creating more organized living spaces and making their homes better places for learning, working and living. If you're consider- ing upgrades to your home, consider these DIY ideas from the experts at Royal Building Products that can increase beauty and resale value. Home Office: Spend- ing more time at home may mean storage space is at a premium, especially if you're relying on a makeshift home office. You can add a high-impact and functional element to your office with a built-in bookcase or work- station. Consider your ma- terials carefully since they have a big impact on your final results. For example, a versatile alternative to wood is synthetic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) trim, which you don't need to sand or prime before painting, ulti- mately saving time, energy and money. While PVC is slightly more expensive than some wood options, it also requires less maintenance long-term. Bathroom: By updating worn-out items, modernizing fixtures and creating a more functional space, you can ex- pect to recoup up to 50% of a bathroom's remodel cost, ac- cording to the National As- sociation of the Remodeling Industry. If you're consid- ering an on-trend look like shiplap, a practical solution like Royal prefinished PVC Shiplap can help create a clean, comfortable space. It's waterproof, mold resistant, flexible and works well in spaces with many slants and angles. Plus, it's lightweight and easy to install. Entryway: A home's foyer offers the first impres- sion of its interior, teasing the personality of architec- ture and decor found with each step deeper inside. Whether bold and dramatic, tranquil and serene, or some- thing in-between, the entry- way often sets the tone for a home's ambience. Details like decorative molding and lattice trim can create a strik- ing entryway for almost any home style. Exterior: Whether you're sprucing up an outdoor liv- ing space or simply want to boost curb appeal, subtle enhance- ments can make a big impact. For example, board and batten shutters offer an attrac- tive, low-fuss way to highlight your home's windows. Painting the front door is another low-cost way to freshen up your exterior. Or invite a touch of nature by adding flower boxes to your front porch or windows. Find more cre- ative inspiration, tools, tips and practical steps for every level of DIY-er at build- royaldiy.com. Select a Trim Style to Match Your Home Style The right style of trim can transform a room into a whole new space. A good rule of thumb is to keep the style of trim consistent with your home style and from room to room. Craftsman: The crafts- man home style pairs well with simple, tailored and purposeful doors and mini- mally ornamented window casings while white, light beige and cream-colored crown moulding can create roomier spaces. Colonial: This home style's rustic simplicity and rich detail call for interior trim that lends a touch of stately courtliness. Choose multi-piece trim and wider baseboards, wainscoting and crown moulding to adorn family room floors, walls and ceilings. Cape Cod: This practi- cal and quaintly unassuming design can be accented by subtle interior trim such as transom windows and side- lights that surround multi- paneled entry doors, casings for double-hung windows, picture rails and frame walls. Modern: The clean expan- siveness of this home style lends itself to unadorned window and door casings as well as baseboards. You can go minimalist and use trim merely to protect walls and floors. Alternatively, you could rely on trim to create an appealing contrast with the wall colors. Ranch: Open, infor- mal and inviting, this style needs trim work that flows from room to room. Many styles work, from simple baseboards to more formal trimmed windows and cabi- netry in the kitchen, fireplace mantels in the family room and passageway casings.
