Buying Help Moldings & Accessories Moldings & Trim Whether your home features a modern or traditional design, molding and trim adds a decorative element to any space and smooths the transition from wall to either floor or ceiling. A simple way to increase the value of your home, installing moldings can provide a unique architectural feature to your home. What’s more, many options are easy to install, making them the perfect do-it-yourself project. But before you select any molding, you should know what’s available, where they go, and the range of different styles. With that in mind, here’s a look at moldings: The decorative borders in your home are collectively called trim, and they come in different types. Knowing what these are and where you should install them will help you shop for trim: Working from the floor up, you’ll first encounter baseboards. These are long strips of wood adhered to the base of your walls that abut the floor. They help create a transition between walls and floors.

Baseboards can be simple in shape, or have additional pieces, like shoe molding, that provide a decorative touch. Not a trim necessarily, wainscoting is paneling that exists between baseboards and picture rails that’s installed over the wall. However, you can also find pseudo wainscoting that features decorative trim installed right on the wall between the baseboard and chair rail. Some homeowners even do away with the trim and just paint the area that would have wainscoting a different color from the rest of the wall. A chair rail, also known as dado rail, rests partway up a wall, about where the back of your dining chair would hit the wall. In fact, that’s where the molding got its name. Often chair rails are only installed alongside wainscoting. However, that’s not always the case. Picture or plate rail Rather than hanging pictures straight on a wall, some homeowners display their art by attaching it to picture rail, which is a type of molding that runs horizontally around a room (usually at the same height as the top of a door).

This molding can help prevent damage to your walls and creates an additional layer of decoration. Plus, it’s an easy way to ensure all of your art is hung at a uniform height. Many people set up plates on the rail as well, using dishware as a decorative element. pool lounge chairs with umbrellasPicture rails are less common than they used to be, but look great in traditionally styled rooms with other decorative moldings.power lift chair instructions Casing surrounds doors and windows and is often the same color as the trim in the rest of the house.red chair sashes for sale Located at the seam between the ceiling and wall, crown molding sits atop your room like, well, a crown. vintage barbershop chairs for sale

Wood is the most popular and traditional trim option. It’s lightweight, easy to paint, and flows naturally with your walls. You can also find alternatives, such as foam, rubber, plastic, and polyurethane.

These alternatives are generally engineered to resemble wood, but offer benefits such as resistance to moisture and the ability to bend. The features and cost of the materials should both factor into your molding choice. You can install trim in any room of your home, from the kitchen to the living room to even the bathrooms. Generally, if you have baseboards and crown molding in one room, they should continue throughout the house for consistency.

Many homeowners only install this trim in high-impact or formal areas, such as dining or family rooms.

We are finishing the walls with drywall and wainscoting then tiling the floor. 1. Cut drywall to size. Use a utility knife to score the paper carefully. Apply pressure by hitting in the middle of the score; the drywall should easily break. Finish the cut by running a knife down the paper to separate the pieces.

Secure the drywall to the framing with screws. you’ll fill in the holes with joint compound later. Stagger the seams of the drywall. 2. Apply joint compound to the seams and screw holes spreading it evenly with a putty knife. Add mesh drywall tape to reinforce seams then cover with more joint compound. Allow the compound to dry completely then sand smooth. It will take at least three coats, allow the joint compound to dry completely in between each coat. 1. Determine the height of the wainscoting. Allow room for the flooring and baseboard. Use a laser level or chalk line to mark where the top of the beadboard will sit. If your floor is uneven, start at the highest point in the room, you can cut down the panels for the low points. Measure from the laser line down to where the baseboard will fit based on the height of the wainscoting boards. 2. Liberally apply construction adhesive to the back of a wainscoting panel and hold up to the wall in place. Quickly pull the panel off the wall part of the way so the adhesive becomes stringy and covers more area on the back.

3. Nail the beadboard to studs using the finish nail gun. 4. Add the chair rail molding to the top of the wainscoting. Buying the molding with a notch already cut out of the back to fit over the beadboard saves time and effort. Secure the moldling to the wall with adhesive and nails. 5. Fill in nail holes with caulk and sand. 6. Leave the baseboard off until the flooring is complete. 7. Paint and walls and wainscoting. 1. Screw the 1/2” backer board to the floor to create an even, moisture-resistant subfloor. 2. Layout the tile and make any necessary cuts. Spread the mastic on the backer board and on the tile. Use spacers to make sure you’ve got the tiles evenly placed. We combined two different colors of tile in our room. 3. Let the tiles sit overnight so the mastic cures. 4. Use a grout float to add the grout. Spread the grout diagonally over the tile, this helps get it into the cracks. Wipe off the excess with a wet sponge. 5. Allow the grout to dry overnight then install your fixtures.
