New Beginnings with the Right Molding
Redecorating with moldings gives you a chance to create new warmth and
beauty in the home you originally fell in love with. To use molding with
confidence, you'll want to make design choices appropriate to your space and
decor. In some contemporary homes, for example, elaborate molding could be
out of place. But don't underestimate the amount of molding that rooms can
tastefully accommodate. We offer a variety of beautiful moldings designed
for contemporary homes. Clean lines, vivid profiles, and modern durable
materials make our moldings a perfect fit for contemporary
environment. Contemporary crown molding

The architectural style of your home and your personal taste will a play large parts in selecting moldings.
But there are other considerations that should guide your molding purchasing decision.
First of all, the size and scale of the molding should be appropriate for the room. Low ceilings (8 feet or less)
have a harder time supporting large ornate crown moldings than 10- or 12- foot ceilings. The scale of the molding
relates to its profile as well as molding size. For low ceilings we recommend choosing crown molding which projects
on the ceiling more then it comes down on the wall. Application of such crown molding visually will make ceilings appear higher.
A small room can be easily overwhelmed by large, elaborate molding, just as a plane slender molding disappears in a large room.
Deep and heavy molding detailing creates vivid shadows and has a greater visual presence than subtle molding profiles.
As you consider adding a crown moldings in combination with other molding types, you might be concern that extensive
trim-work will make small rooms appear even smaller. In fact, the opposite occurs. Through magic of geometric illusion,
trim-work often makes room appear larger and wider. Long horizontal lines created with moldings can make you perceive
that a room is longer and wider than it really is. In a same manner, long vertical lines created with moldings will
make a low ceiling appear higher.
Bringing out the True Character with Molding
Rooms owe their
architectural identity to the moldings on the walls and the ceiling. In many
old houses, complicated built-up moldings land character and beauty.
Coordinating various moldings with one another and with other
architectural room elements brings a sense of balance and unity to a design
scheme. Walls with multiple molding types, such us
baseboard, chair-rail,
frieze, and crown, will look best if their style and scale are proportioned
to each other and decorative aspects are complimentary.
Cornice and crown molding, chair rails and frieze molding, panel molding with exquisite
framing corners can have a magical effect on the look and character of your
home. Molding can completely transform your room from traditional to modern,
or contemporary to period.
