Popular Styles Of Molding

  • Crown Moulding: Of all the different types of moulding, crown is the best known and — true to its name — the most regal. Crown mouldings, which connect the walls and ceiling, tend to be very elaborate, with decorative substyles such as dentil or egg-and-dart.
  • Baseboard: Baseboards are a wooden trim which are placed at the transition from wall to floor. These 3-5” wide mouldings are usually simple in style. Thick and detailed baseboards are the hallmark of classic style.
  • Casing: Casings are traditionally 2-3” mouldings which surround the frames of windows and interior or exterior doors. Also known as architraves, casings may be quite intricate to highlight a breathtaking view or to welcome guests to your home. Thicker casings in intricate styles look right at home in a victorian home while plain casings (or no casing at all) can create a clean modern look.
  • Chair Rail: Chair rails are simple narrow strips of moulding, usually 32-36” above the floor or about one-third of the wall height, which add a pleasing sense of proportion. Although many people claim their historical intent was preventing diners’ chairs from scuffing the walls, another theory goes that the Shakers of bygone days hung chairs from these rails while washing their floors.
  • Picture Rail: Like chair rails, picture rails are quite narrow, though they are installed much higher up – usually 7-9’ feet above floor height. The purpose of picture rails is to allow you to display paintings and photographs without hammering nails into your walls.
