The rosette used today in design and architecture has quite a rich history. A rosette is a round, stylized flower design, used extensively in sculptural objects from antiquity, appearing in Mesopotamia and used to decorate the funeral stele in Ancient Greece. It was adopted later in Romanesque and Renaissance, and also common in the art of Central Asia, spreading as far as India where it is used as a decorative motif in Greco-Buddhist art.

Decorators and homeowners utilize plinth blocks to improve the look of a room or home. Plinth Blocks create a beautiful conversion between the door casing and baseboard trim work by preventing unsightly seams and angles. They allow smooth transition between materials while adding character and depth to the area. Continued use of this construction style has led to many beautiful buildings and gorgeous homes. These attractive styles can be used to subtly alter the mood of a room without the expense of a complete renovation.
