These are new homes with mininally nine foot ceilings. Located in the San
Francisco East Bay, the owners are securing investments
by adding moulding. Mark recommended 7
inch Monterey
Moulding for the
public areas, and he explains his choice in the videos
below.
Mark discusses the choice of style of moulding, the options for enhancing it with inserted colors or trim, the size of the moulding, and the use of the moulding, especially in small rooms where owners are concerned that it makes the room look smaller. In a small room moulding lifts the room. Even large moulding can be used to give a small room a finished look without creating claustrophobic feelings. Capping of a stairwell - Moulding Masters has a repertoire of finishing touches such as "returns" - using a return piece to give a finished a proper look. (See Marks discussion in the Introduction video below.) |

| WAINSCOTING (above) with chair rail and wall frames instantly makes a house feel like a home. Trim work adds the feeling of solidity and tradition - and warmth. Today's new homes have large interior spaces which need the touch of trimwork to create the human scale. | |||||||||

COLOR: See another East Bay Home where the owner used Moulding Master's Tuscan color scheme. Color is a major factor in properly setting off the moulding - Moulding Masters can assist you in choosing the right color to give the appropriate level of contrast. When using the neutral tones it is especially important to let an expert guide you so have subtle but pleasing contrasts. It is an epensive mistake if you choose a color without enough contrast. |

The wide shadow line in MONTEREY moulding allows for the addition of trim such as rope or beading. See our catalog for rope, bead or dental patterns to use in this style. Paint color can also be used in this area to give additional emphasis to the crown. | ||||||||

| The kitchen area includes cherry cabinets which work harmoniously with the trim work. The kitchen looks out to a fountain in a patio off the entry hall. See video on kitchen. | |||||||||
