The traditional design style for homes can sometimes be confused with “old”. But really, it’s a classic style that focuses on beautiful details, ornate craftsmanship and rich, warm colors. A favorite element of the traditional style that is often incorporated into home renovations are corbels. A corbel is an architectural bracket made of wood, plastic, marble, or other materials. Its purpose is to support a ceiling, shelf, or beam on either the interior or exterior of a home. However, sometimes its sole purpose is simply a decoration for homeowners that like the embellishment corbels add to a space, but functionally have no need for it.

The Victorian Era was a time when homeowners were completely preoccupied with the details and colors of a home. Roof crestings really soared during this period, which is the architectural detail on the very top of the roof pictured. Often times during a Victorian home renovation, roof crestings are considered the finishing touch to really give a home an authentic Victorian aesthetic. They’re purely decorative and usually made out of wrought iron; homeowners opt to incorporate them solely on a preferential basis.
