Add Distinctive Touches to Your Home with Polyurethane Millwork

 

Perhaps you’ve admired the precise millwork such as dental moulding or richly carved door pilasters on estate homes, or you’ve found wonderful ideas for home décor in a home fashions magazine.  You may have dreamed about using these elegant and elaborate touches in your own home but feared that the price is out of your reach.  Fortunately, you can now get gorgeous millwork, from fiberglass columns to crown molding, at a reasonable cost by purchasing polyurethane millwork.

 

Polyurethane architectural details are molded to mimic the precise lines and rich details of wood millwork, but doesn’t have the high price tag associated with hand-carved pieces.  There are other advantages to polyurethane millwork as well, including durability, resistance to damage by the elements and the ease with which it can be painted to match any color scheme.  The more you browse through decorating magazines and websites, the more ideas you’ll come up with for using today’s polyurethane millwork to give your home that final touch of refinement.

 

A Princess Bedroom Using Polyurethane Trimmings 

If your daughter dreams of having a fairytale bedroom that’s fit for a princess, millwork is a great way to add regal finishing touches to her room for a reasonable price.  Consider putting a lush swag of roses or some elaborate scrollwork pieces above her bed for the look of a sumptuous French Rococo bedroom.  She’ll feel like a princess slumbering under a rich spray of roses and ribbons painted in soft pastels or soft gold or silver.  Small corbels repeating around the top of the walls or framing princess themed artwork will complete the look.

 

Turn Your Dining Room Into a Showplace 

A formal dining room generally focuses on the beauty of a formal dining table, often highlighted by a stunning light fixture or chandelier.  If you want to give this room a formal feel, consider installing polyurethane chair rails like those commonly found in Colonial mansions.  These will add visual interest and give you the opportunity to paint the room in two complimentary colors to add depth to the room.

 

Since the light fixture is usually suspended directly over the dining table, it will get lots of attention.  Frame your chandelier with a lovely ceiling medallion that coordinates with other polyurethane millwork details such as the chair rail and perhaps some crown molding.  These will add depth to the room and give it a jewel box like appearance.

 

Giving Your Home’s Exterior Character

If you live in a subdivision, you know that homes often look so alike that they seem to be “cookie cutter” houses.  If you would like to add some charm and personality to your home’s exterior, polyurethane millwork is the perfect product to use.  It lasts far longer than wood trim, is resistant to mold, mildew and rot and can easily be painted without priming to match your home’s color scheme.

 

Consider giving your entry door added impact with door pilasters on either side and a polyurethane header across the top.  You can also add dentil molding or decorative corbels under the eaves for a distinctive touch of elegance that sets your home apart from other houses in your neighborhood.

 

The possibilities are virtually endless when working with polyurethane millwork.  You can let your personality shine in every room and relax and enjoy your unique architectural touches secure in knowing touch-ups won’t be needed for years to come.
