There are a variety of moulding styles, but choosing the corresponding one to your home can be a question that might arise in your head. Although you can place any style of the moulding in your home, you should place the one which is worth the price for your home. In today’s blog, we will be having a look at some of the moulding styles available, and also be discussing where these mouldings should be placed and where they shouldn't.
Variety Of Moulding Styles
Variety Of Moulding Styles
Floor Moulding
This type of moulding will be found at any home that you visit because these are standardised and have to be installed in a home, as it protects the area where the flooring and the wall join. There are many different styles of floor moulding you can get, but the height of the moulding is something that you should consider. There is a simple rule: the height of your ceiling defines the moulding you should use. For example, the higher the ceiling, the bigger the moulding you should get for your home. The reason for this is that if your ceilings are very high and your baseboards are small, although the baseboard will serve its purpose, it will have no elegance and will look off from the entire house. This is why, take a look at your ceiling, and if it is higher than standard homes, then do invest in buying taller moulding.
Crown Moulding
Crown Moulding is also another type of molding and is very similar to floor molding, except these types of moldings are placed between the ceiling and the wall. These do not serve any protection purpose, but rather there to create an elegant look around the home. Another benefit of crown moldings is that they are budget-friendly, so installing them isn’t a very costly process. For installing crown molding, typically they are the same size, as well as the same style that is installed as the floor molding. The reason is to keep everything consistent around the house and to not confuse.
Wall Moulding
This molding style is commonly installed in massive and very expensive houses. Although they are not expensive to install either, you would often see them in bigger and more expensive homes as this type of molding suits best in spacious homes. You can get wall molding in your home but if your home is not very spacious, then the wall molding will not be able to grab as much attention as it could if it was installed in a bigger home. An alternative to installing wall molding throughout your home is simply creating an accent wall, which can have the same style as wall molding. These accent walls do as it says, it accents a single wall from the others. In this way, your wall will still be able to grab people’s attention, but not make them feel crowded with designs all over your home.

These were the lists of the different styles of molding, and now we will be discussing where each style should be placed in a home. As for Floor Moulding, these are installed in all homes, so if you’re planning to upgrade them, it is best to do so all around the house. While for Crown Moulding it is best to do it in areas of your home where your ceilings are higher than the others, and if all of your ceilings are higher than standard, installing them all around the house will look even better. Finally, as we discussed, wall molding should be placed in a home where rooms are spacious, and you are able to see the entirety of the wall molding. Just being able to see a small portion of all the wall molding will not get much attention, therefore install it where there is space.
