Easy-to-incorporate Architectural Enhancements

Not all of us are lucky enough to live in houses with good architecture but there are many simple and non-permanent ways of incorporating it in our homes. Now I know that the image on top is full of exquisite details (only the herringbone floors would be enough to impress) but what caught my attention was the unusually low dado rail. I think that unique detail would make any room more interesting and would bring an unexpected touch to it as well.

Painting stripes on the walls or ceilings would make a big statement.
If you don’t have it, fake it. To paint graphic patterns on wood floors is maybe a lot of work but it’s totally worthy.
To rest a decorative door on a wall is one thing but to also add a decorative bracket or a framed sconce (below) takes it to a higher level. It looks simple but it’s very well thought.

    Looking at this reminds me of how boring my house is! No beautiful architectual details 🙁 Some great ideas though for how to go about changing that!

    A heringbone floor or any other exquisite detail would give a room an elegant look, without requiring much furniture or decoration. I love the first picture.
