Why Should I Install Decorative Moulding?
June 26, 2020
Using decorative moulding is a great way of easily sophisticating a room without changing the overall theme.
The following types of Moulding are very popular and relatively easy to install:
Crown Moulding
- Crown moulding provides a visual transition from the wall to the ceiling. When you use custom moulding for your room rather than a typical design, this striking technique creates an old-world effect that truly distinguishes a fine room.
Ogee Moulding
- Ogee mouldings are made to install 6-12 inches below the ceiling to create a visual break that coordinates with the crown above it. The space in-between the Crown and Ogee moulding is perfect for painting a coordinating or contrasting color to add some new dynamic to the room.
Chair Rail Moulding
- Practical and decorative, Chair Rail is a great moulding that adds a nice simple accent to a room, while also protecting the wall from scratches and scuffs.
Base Moulding
- Similar to Crown Moulding, Base Moulding provides that elegant “finished look” for a room. Even if the room already has baseboard, you can always consider upgrading the base moulding to match nicely with the rest of the moulding project.
Panel Moulding
- If you use chair rail with a nice base moulding, it would be in best taste to also use panel moulding. This serves as a union for the two elements while giving the room a more unique touch.
Door and Window Casing
- Using Moulding for Door and Window Casing is a great way to add sophistication to an otherwise simple room.
Wainscoting
- Decorative wainscoting are often light or white to blend nicely with the color of the walls or ceiling and provide an intriguing texture. Wainscoting works well to break up the potential monotony of a monochromatic room or wall. You can easily define and enhance the look of a room with well-selected wainscoting.
Any plain room will immediately gain character and personality when one or any of these moulding techniques are added.
Moulding installation requires precision and careful attention to detail. A skilled do-it-yourselfer can install elegant mouldings in a relatively short amount of time, but for high-quality results, homeowners often hire a professional contractor.
