Wall moldings for interior character<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, wall moldings add depth to a plain surface and can frame a bedroom wall, hallway, dining room or feature area. In addition, the style sets the tone: detailed panels can feel classic, while board and batten creates a simpler rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning the right visual rhythm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For example, tone-on-tone trim can stay subtle, while a stronger contrast draws attention to the wall. As a result, spacing, height and colour should work with the proportions of the room instead of competing with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applied wall moldings are ideal for dressing up a room. The board and batten – nicknamed board and batten – is a style that uses rectangular sections connected by battens. Battens are strips of material that cover the joints between the boards. Sometimes the battens are attached directly to the drywall to simulate the look without the cost of additional materials. Beautiful molding updates a boring white wall into something more dreamy and personalized. It adds character and depth. This can make a new house look like it’s been there for decades. You can’t go wrong with this design detail. They can be arranged in as many rectangular boxes as you like. The thicker the moulding, the more impact it will have. <\/p>\n\n
