Install molding and change plain-Jane walls to transform any room with a distinct style and mood. Molding is an architectural element that’s always noticed whether it’s installed on walls at the ceiling and baseboard, or as a chair rail or outlining doors and windows.
Traditionally molding was made of plaster and wood, but today a popular molding material is polystyrene; it’s less expensive and easy to work with. You’ll find molding sold online and in the lumber section of most home centers and lumber yards. The material is available in an array of designs and configurations, from deep ceiling cornices to intricate profiles, often mimicking those traditionally made in plaster or wood. Many need to be installed with mitered corners, while others are designed with plinth blocks or rosettes on the corners, so no miter cuts are needed.
