Crown and base mouldings can enlarge a room, giving it a stately feel, but wall mouldings bring it up a knotch. They add the dramatic detail of the old world charm often found in classic architecture fround in the palaces of France. Chair-rail mouldings, -similar to wainscoting which divide your wall, giving the illusion of taller walls. Wood mouldings can be the most expensive, but if you are after the natural wood look, it is worth the investment. Polyurethane mouldings and Foam Mouldings are an alternative choice for painted walls. If you are hoping for wood panels, (but without the cost), consider a faux paint artist who is talented in creating wood looks from paint. Often times, the painted wood looks better than what is often available at your local hardware store. Also, you are not limited to pine, but can have the more exotic looks such as burl,olive wood,bocote,Snake wood, or thuya. Consider looking for antique mouldings for half the cost or foam mouldings and consider painted detail. Check out some of the pictures below for paint and moulding ideas  (Read More.....)
