Mouldings are one of the areas in a home that can add enormous value at a relatively low cost provided it is done right. Some of the top designers in the US were asked about their secrets to moulding selection and associated rules. We narrowed it down to the Top 5 Key Rules when considering moulding in your home.
- Whatever moulding you choose make sure it is consistent with the style of house that you live in.
- If you are installing moulding on the ceiling then install the same moulding design around the doors and windows.
- For ceiling moulding make sure that it is in proportion to the height of the ceiling. For example - if you have a 10 ft ceiling then an appropriate width of your ceiling moulding would be around 6 inches. If your ceiling height is 9 ft feet then the moulding needs to be a little thinner.
- Keep the moulding color the same throughout your house this will enhance the flow of your design.
- Choosing color can be tricky but make sure that it stands out from all the other colors in your house. The most common and safest color of paint to choose is usually a shade of white.
