Old-World Decorating for New-World Living
Greek and Roman Touches for Your Living Room By C.J. Johnson
Whitesides sums up the use of these techniques. "Wall ornamentation is a means to hang your own personal touch on a room," she says. "With so many materials and techniques available, anyone can put an artistic mark on their home and create a palette for change."
Wall Molding
A molding is one continuous length of wood, plaster or cut stone. It can be carved in a variety of ways to be used in furniture, architecture and as an accessory. Moldings can improve the appearance of a dwelling in the following ways: - Create definition and transitions between planes or surfaces;
- Complement and enhance an existing room and its d袯r;
- Enliven tired and plain walls;
- Downplay the severe edges where walls and ceiling meet.
According to Clark and Whitesides, although there are several manufacturers and custom suppliers of molding throughout the world, the leaders in moldings are Lone Star Millwork, House of Fara and Wilson Plywood. It is also possible to purchase this specialized trim at most home improvement stores.
