The Power of Mouldings: How Decorative Touches Can Elevate Your Interior Design
When it comes to interior design, the smallest details can have the biggest impact. Decorative mouldings are a simple yet effective way to add personality and character to your home. These subtle design elements enhance any space by adding depth and texture, while providing a refined finish.
Here are some of the best ways to incorporate mouldings into your home:
Doors
With the right mouldings, you can create a sophisticated focal point that elevates your space. Whether you prefer classic simplicity or intricate detailing, decorative architraves like our Pine Torus Architrave can transform a plain door into an elegant design feature. The planed finish of this architrave makes it easy to paint, oil, wax, stain, or varnish, allowing you to customise it to perfectly complement your interior design.
Skirting Boards
Often overlooked, skirting boards play a key role in defining a room’s aesthetic. They seamlessly tie together flooring, walls, and other architectural details, while also offering practical benefits like preventing drafts and protecting flooring. Our Dark Hardwood Weather Bars are manufactured from high-quality dark hardwood, boasting a rich dark red-brown colour, they provide a refined, polished finish—perfect for both minimalist and traditional interiors.
Picture Rails
Mouldings can also enhance the architectural feel of a room. The right picture rail can draw attention to artwork while complementing the overall decor. Whether you prefer a subtle or statement-making look, our Pine Picture Rails offer a variety of options for any style preference.
Our mouldings are available in a range of materials, including oak, pine, ready primed and both light and dark hardwood, allowing you to choose the perfect fit for your interior. With 11 new additions to our range of primed mouldings recently launched, achieving a flawless finish has never been easier.
