ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS SUCH AS CORNICES, SKIRTING AND ARCHITRAVES CAN ADD REAL CHARACTER TO A HOUSE. HERE’S HOW TO DO IT RIGHT Words LYNNE TESTONI
“Beautiful plasterwork curves are coming back – it’s an organic shape that creates a natural feeling” Therese Tarlinton, CSR Gyprock expert

here are some homes that just make you go ‘wow’ when you walk inside. Not necessarily huge or expensively decorated, they still exude a sense of charm and individuality. Much of this appeal comes down to that elusive factor we call character.
For a new build or large renovation, architectural elements like architraves, cornices, doors and windows are key. Choosing the right trims throughout your home helps to provide cohesion in style and design. CSR Gyprock expert Therese Tarlinton says it’s important to start with the right proportions and detailing, before
layering elements such as furniture and decoration. “I think it’s about designing the envelope of the room,” she says. “A really great designer can make that room a beautiful place to spend time in even before the furniture has been placed in it.” Start by identifying the desired style of your home, and choose details to suit.
