Decorative Moldings

Decorative moldings put the finishing touches on constructions projects and home renovations by providing transitional points between different materials. They are used to enhance styles and designs while creating personality and flair. Moldings can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, cement, and stone. These construction components bring a room together with smooth lines and structural continuity. 

There are many types of molding used for different parts of a room. Baseboard molding is usually wide and topped with a narrow, decorative piece. This makes it easier to mop and sweep floors while protecting the walls. Beading molding is often found around windows and wainscoting, while crown molding is one type of decorative element commonly used to make the transition between wall and ceiling flow beautifully. 

Molding serves many purposes, and there are many different varieties. Handmade, laser-cut or prefabricated molding are each created to meet the structural needs of a room and highlight its features. They hide flaws and imperfections while putting the best available designs on display. Their use of shading, angles, and structures enhances the personality of a room with a unique combination. When mixed and matched, these variations and designs can change to create hundreds of new styles in a home or building.

Decorative moldings bring a room into focus and highlight the lives of the people who reside there. Throughout history, decorative moldings have said as much about us and our cultures as the buildings themselves. For example, during financial hardships and war, moldings tend to be plain and utilitarian. During peaks of prosperity and peace, molding styles change and flourish. Today, many old designs are being revived to create beauty in a variety of settings.
