More questions about
What moulding options are available, and how do I select the appropriate one?
The most common mouldings one can find in virtually any home are skirting or baseboards, typically at the bottom of walls, crown mouldings, which are usually at the ceiling, and casings, which are usually around doors and windows. Choose based on the interior style for the room, whether it's classical or traditional style.

Can I install mouldings and profiles myself?

What is the best material for mouldings and profiles?
Mouldings are usually made from wood, MDF, or PVC. Wood gives a classic touch, while PVC is resistant to moisture and therefore it's better suited to bathrooms. Profiles are the thin stripes of moulding used for protection of edges, it's usually made from stainless steel or aluminium, which is really tough and beautiful to look at.
Will moulding make my room look smaller?
Not if chosen wisely. For small rooms, choose slim mouldings and profiles that can keep the space open and airy. Avoid oversized designs.
Do mouldings and profiles come with modern options?
Yes, unique and simple designs with neutral colours or metallic finishes for profiles works best for modern or minimalist interiors.
