Architectural Accents: Make a Statement

A staircase is an obvious must have for a multi-story home, but incorporating it with a few architectural elements can turn it into a truly elegant focal point of your home.

When you build a custom home you can create curved staircases, extra-wide staircases, and staircases with custom balusters and spindles. You can also add windows or skylights to stairwells to illuminate the space.

Even simple architectural elements can transform your home. Add decorative posts to create an optical separation in the room, while ceiling and floor molding are a simple way to add elegance to living rooms, dining rooms and dens.
