How Mouldings Can Add Character to Your House

February 14th, 2007 · No Comments · Home Improvement

South Florida area Real Estate in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Aventure, Hialeah, Coral GablesMost often, the mouldings in a home go unnoticed, quietly framing walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows. But for those who appreciate fine details, moulding accents are valuable elements for creating elegant, beautiful rooms.

Mouldings come in a multitude of designs and materials. If you have plain baseboards, why not add character with a wide, decorative one. Instead of settling for a plain door casing, select one with ornate ridges accented with a stand-out corner piece. Add an elaborate crown moulding to your ceiling that echoes the bends and turns of your walls. Or, use it to create a great fireplace surround.

Break up a long wall by positioning a chair rail moulding about one-third of the way up the wall from the floor or set the top portion off with a picture rail moulding. In turn, you’ve created two distinct wall sections that can be decorated using paint.

You don’t have to replace your existing mouldings to change your decor. You could add a moulding element to the outside edges of your current casings or change the color of your existing trim with paint.
