Interior mouldings are one of the features of the home that serve a specific purpose without getting much recognition, and yet almost without knowing it they are integral to how we view a room and how its overall look is finished. Ceiling moulds and dado rails are perhaps more prominent in a room, but architraves […]
Most interior design trends come back into fashion eventually, albeit you might come across a home where a particular feature isn’t a trendy stab at retro chic, but an outdated legacy from the first time around.

They can often be “the accessory that makes the outfit” individually attractive without the setting, but often inspiring (when used in the right context).
