Air return vent grilles are a stock feature in almost any home, but why not use them to improve the aesthetics of even the plainest new builds? 

Just take a moment to consider this scenario: A living room is fitted with two larger air returns. 

Problem: The ugly metal grilles were fast and easy for the crew to install, but they are not really enhancing the look of the room. Though the home has gorgeous base moldings, flooring, and appealing colors, the room looks unappealing because of those ugly grilles. 

Solution: Swap them out with custom air vent grilles and things are instantly turned around.

As a builder, you might not spend a lot of time poking around on social media, but if you did, you might be surprised at what is "trending" in terms of home design and features. Sites like Pinterest are awfully helpful when looking for inspiration, and this is true whether you are making meals or building multi-million dollar homes. Where home design is concerned, custom capitals, columns and custom corbels are a very hot topic.

The biggest element that goes into staging a model home is psychology, believe it or not. When a buyer walks into a model home, the home has to make them feel comfortable – without being exactly personalized to their unique style, so that it also works for other buyers. This means that builders and home sellers have to think hard about what types of details to add. 

One great way to add charm to a room without ruining this careful balance is to add decorative flex crown molding or picture moldings.

Here’s why.

As a custom home builder, you’ve got a lot riding on whether or not a potential homeowner likes what they see. There are little things you do in the build that are for aesthetics only – you choose nice countertops, you consider how the windows are laid out for a good view, and so on. Well, what if we told you that adding flex crown molding to a home can offer a very good ROI, and help you nail a sale?

Have you been looking for a way to change up the style of a room in your home? While you can paint, put up wallpaper, add some new décor, and even change up the furniture, sometimes that still doesn’t really add the classic touch of style you really want. One great way to add instant class to any room is to add decorative crown molding.

If there is anything that draws in buyers today, it’s character. Everyone wants to own a home that has “character,” but what does that mean? What many buyers mean when they say this is that they want those luxurious and off-beat little details that other homes don’t have. They want to find something original. And there are several ways that you can use laser cut wood grilles to do just that.
