Savannah Wood Moldings
If you are inspired by the timeless elegance and quiet grandeur of historic
southern architecture look no further than our Savannah Molding Collection.
Scrolls of leaves seem to curl and unfurl into each other at once; a gentle
cascade of symmetrical pattern reminiscent of the weeping branches of a willow
tree stirring in a thick breeze. A cockle shell is the focal point of the
molding design; a traditional symbol once used to mark status and to convey
privilege. Well-formed and refined, the cockle shell accurately represents the
understated splendor of the design. Savannah molding is heavy with romance and
the spirit of yesterday.
Naples Wood Moldings
Powered by the influence of the ancient Romans, the jagged leaves of the
Acanthus tree became a common symbol used in ornamentation and architecture. The
Acanthus tree thrives in direct sunlight; it is a hardy plant that tolerates
even the driest conditions. Perhaps that is why the leaves of the tree have been
used for centuries to symbolize immortality and regeneration. We pay tribute to
the Acanthus tradition in our Naples Molding Collection: tightly scrolling
leaves flourish and thrive in a robust testament to perseverance and tenacity.
The Naples molding commands respect and inspires reverence in the beholder: you
will witness history each time you view it.

Vermont Wood Moldings
Some things are quintessentially New England: nowhere in the world does the
autumn season arrive with such distinction. Here in New England, the onset of
autumn is marked by shortening days, balmy weather, and the festival and fairs
that lure gatherings of families and friends in celebration of life’s simple
pleasures. Our Vermont Molding Collection beckons you to celebrate the autumn
season and New England, all year round. Perfectly carved, small, hard acorns
pepper a carefully strewn trail of oak leaves. See it on the cabinets while you
make hot cocoa in the kitchen; or on the mantle when you stoke the evening’s
fire; or in your bedroom while snuggled deep inside warm flannel sheets; and you
will know its versatility. Inspired by nature, Vermont molding is a perfect
choice for any person who wants to proclaim their love for the outdoors.
California Wood Moldings

Baltimore Wood Moldings
Our Baltimore Molding is refinement: although her delicately carved cherry
blossoms ornament the rich bouquet of acanthus leaves, it is these diminutive
flowers that command attention as the modest focal point of the molding's
design. The Baltimore Molding Collection’s tender blossoms are fragrant with a
feminine quality; the undulating pattern of acanthus and flowers are undoubtedly
elegant and refined. Introduce Baltimore wood molding to any room in your home,
and you will find a heightened sense of quiet repose.

Pierced Wood Molding
Our pierced carved wood moldings are sold in lengths of two
feet. Included with each piece of molding are two carved wood dowel connectors,
that when connected with an additional pierced molding piece, contribute to the
seamless appearance of a single continuous run of carved wood.
Connecting your pierced wood moldings is simple. After applying a small amount
of wood glue to each end of the dowels, you insert them securely into place on
both sides of the molding. When connecting the two pieces of molding, space them
proportionally from each other. The connecting dowel is intended to be
integrated into the overall design pattern, imparting visual continuity to the
molding.
Decorative Wood Molding
In July of 2007, Inviting-Home announced the arrival of a new collection:
Decorative Sculptured Wood Molding.
Our new luxury wood molding
collection is an
exciting option for homeowners who wish to beautify their home by integrating
rich details using unexpectedly affordable moldings. The multitude of different
molding and chair-rail designs make it easy to integrate your moldings into an
existing decor and to coordinate several molding designs, creating a polished
look for your home.
This new collection features moldings that are made from the highest grade,
kiln-dried, solid Poplar wood. There are many types of molding options
available, with complementing designs that will elevate your home’s look from
mediocre to astounding. Choose from wood crown molding, wood baseboard molding,
wood molding for door trim, wood panel molding, and decorative frieze molding.
Made from a specially formulated wood composite material and sculpted into the
design, many of our decorative wood moldings feature a deep relief, lending
intricacy and realistic detail to the design. Details can be viewed clearly in
the images provided with our product descriptions. We also provide coordinating
suggestions with each molding’s product descriptions, through helpful links to
complimentary molding designs. Our wood moldings may be used alone as a solitary
element and design statement, or enhanced by another decorative wood molding.
* DESIGN TIP: If you wish to add broadness, or extend your decorative elements,
think about pairing a molding or chair rail with a back-band. Back-bands are
also used as casings for windows and doors.
The appeal of Poplar wood is in its light color and low grain. Our wood
moldings accept stain well, making it easy to achieve your desired look. With
Poplar, you may use any depth of stain color you wish, replicating the look of
hardwoods such as Cherry, Maple, Mahogany, Walnut, and many other varieties.
Whether you choose to stain your wood molding, or paint it, it is easy to
achieve a professional look with our Poplar wood molding.
At InvitingHome.com, you have the option of ordering our wood moldings
unfinished or in 12 different decorative finishes. However, if you wish to order
your moldings in a decorative finish, there is a minimum order requirement of
500 feet.
Installing your wood molding is simple. Upon arrival of your wood molding, take
care that you keep the molding in a dry place, away from exorbitant moisture to
avoid warping of the wood. Because the moldings are made from a natural
material, the wood moldings must adjust to the climate of the surroundings
before being installed. This is to avoid any cracking or gaps due to the wood’s
natural ability to shrink or expand when subjected to temperature changes. Nail
your wood moldings to the studs in the wall by using a stud finder. This is to
ensure that your wood moldings will have maximum support. Installation is
complete when you caulk the small holes left behind by the finishing nails with
compound and then lightly sand the area for a clean finish.
*DESIGN TIP: If your project includes installing molding in a room that has a
bend in it, such as a cupola, or bow front window, and you find that rigid wood
molding cannot accommodate the sloping angles, InvitingHome.com also offers Flex
Molding, which can be used in conjunction with wood molding to accommodate the
pesky spot. Our Flex Molding can be purchased in the same designs and density as
our wood molding. Once it is stained or painted, the wood molding and the flex
molding will look consistent and unified.
