A great finish with the right moulding – a room's signature

When selecting moulding, you have complete freedom to choose the style that best suits your project. Still, there are some important factors to consider before deciding on both ceiling moulding and skirting boards.

For some, moulding plays a minimal role, while for others, they are the crucial detail that puts the icing on the cake. Your first step in the selection process should be to decide whether the moulding should blend naturally into the wall or floor, or whether it should create a clear contrast. In the past, white moulding was standard, but the trend in recent years has been towards tone-on-tone colours, where the moulding matches the walls. This gives a holistic and harmonious look that many people seek in today's interior solutions.

White moulding – the classic contrast

Moulding can both emphasise and hide the transition between door frames, walls and floors. You may choose moulding to frame and add character to the room, especially around doors and windows. White moulding against dark walls creates a distinct contrast and highlights architectural details that deserve attention. To avoid white moulding looking too flimsy on dark walls, it can be a good idea to choose wider and profiled moulding, which provides a more balanced unity in the room.

Tone-on-tone moulding – the seamless choice

A popular solution is to use moulding in the same colour as the walls and door and window frames. This creates a more holistic look and gives the room a calmer atmosphere where the décor and the view take centre stage. Stained or painted moulding in the same colour as the walls also have the practical advantage of being easier to keep clean.

By choosing simple moulding without profiles, they will blend in more with the wall, which contributes to a modern and seamless look. The tone-on-tone solution can also enhance the view, as you avoid the strong white contrasts around windows and doors. In addition, it can make the room appear larger and airier – an effect that is especially valuable in smaller rooms.

Painted moulding – when the colours work together

Painted moulding can provide a warmer look and create a more uniform colour palette in the room. A darker moulding colour can help draw nature into the interior, while contrasting colours on the moulding can highlight details in wall and ceiling paneling that would otherwise be lost.

It is important to choose a colour that harmonises with the walls, so that the moulding is not perceived as an unnatural demarcation in the room. Painted moulding can also help highlight the colour variations and details in the wood panelling, and a consistent colour palette on doors, frames and moulding can create a stylish and exclusive touch that lifts the character of the entire room.

Recessed skirting boards – a minimalist look

For a minimalist and modern look, a recessed skirting board may be your best choice. This solution provides a clean aesthetic and makes it easier to keep the floor clean, as you avoid dust accumulation in cracks between panels and trim.

Recessed skirting boards can also help enhance an expansive and austere look in the room, which is particularly suitable for modern homes and cabins. This detail can be what sets your interior solution apart from the crowd and gives the room a distinct architectural touch.
