Anyone who's moved straight in to a newly built home will know the feeling well. I'm talking about that empty feeling: bare walls, stark windows and no sense of a focal point in the house design.
It's the same when you're renovating a space where all the original features have been stripped out, until you start to restore some interesting details and pull the interior design together there'll always be a sense that something's missing. Adding in detailing may repay you in other ways too, since there are some architectural features that add value to a home as well as enhancing the aesthetics.
