Traditional Moldings In Contemporary Spaces
Sometimes it’s the smaller details in interior design that make the biggest impact. Crown moldings and trimwork may scream traditional to many people, but they can instantly enhance a contemporary home too. So can they do this?
Traditional moldings often feature intricate details that add depth and texture to any space in the home. They can transform a clean and sleek room into one with warmth and personality.
In this article, we’re going to share our top tips and design ideas on how to use Traditional Moldings In Contemporary Spaces!
Living Rooms
Traditional moldings can completely transform a contemporary living room. Details like crown moldings can introduce a sense of refinement and structure to the space, while keeping the contemporary fundamental feel.
One way we love to use traditional moldings in contemporary living rooms is by designing intricate and traditional mantels for fireplaces! This gives the fireplace a timeless look and feel that can last for many years.
By using traditional moldings in living rooms, they add a subtle contrast to modern furniture and visual interest. Weaving in these timeless details, a living room becomes a space that’s full of character and feels curated.
Bathrooms
Bathrooms often get overlooked when it comes to adding architectural details, but moldings can elevate these smaller and more utilitarian spaces. Traditional trim work, like moldings, introduce character and charm while still complementing the minimalistic approach to bathroom design.
In our bathroom design projects, we love to introduce moldings to the top of bespoke cabinetry to add extra height and visual interest to the space.
Powder rooms – while small in size – offer great opportunities to get creative with the use of traditional moldings. In a recent project, we added traditional molding to the perimeter of the ceiling to add visual interest and texture to the space. This enhanced the overall design and brought the whole look together.
Kitchens
When it comes to adding crown moldings, kitchens are very similar to bathrooms. Many homeowners wish to have a sleek and modern kitchen, but often forget that timeless details like molding can completely elevate the space even further.
We love to use crown molding in kitchens above cabinets to accentuate the height of cabinetry. The use of moldings isn’t just for an extra decorative effect; they add texture and visual interest to the ceiling.
