As Gold Coasters ourselves, we’ve seen home styles change drastically over the years. But there’s one design aspect that’s here to stay – decorative mouldings.
Far too often, people get scared of decorative mouldings, but there are plenty of reasons why designers in 2024 use them to add a touch of character to your home.
What are Decorative Mouldings?
Decorative mouldings are stylish ornamental features that add to the architectural appeal of any interior.
There are a range of elements that fall under the decorative mouldings umbrella, including;
- Cornices
- Ceiling Roses
- Architraves
- Wall Panels
While all these options may not tickle your fancy, installing any of them can easily define your space and create a visually appealing home that caters to your style… you just have to know how to use them.
What’s Popular on the Gold Coast Now?
The Gold Coast is on the rise with trendy new places to eat, stay and play. So, we’ve been searching for the easiest way our clients can stay trendy (and stay on budget). We think decorative mouldings are it.
Whoever said modern houses can’t have cornices was wrong! One of the biggest Gold Coast trends in 2024 is the addition of these decorative borders.
For contemporary houses, a simple step design ties in seamlessly, and on the other end, intricate Victorian patterns can turn an ageing house into an elegantly styled home.
The Gold Coast is known for its sunshine, and a bit of vitamin D is the best mood booster we know.
There’s no better way to accent this than architraves – decorative mouldings that frame windows and doors and deliver subtle Gold Coast style.
Choosing the Right Mouldings for Your Home
When considering what decorative moulding will suit your home the best, there are a few things to consider;
- Should you use these assets sparingly or throughout your home?
- How large are your rooms?
- What unique style are you creating in your home?
Many Gold Coast homes are embracing a mixture of these architectural elements today.
But don’t feel like you must conform to the norm… there’s a decorative moulding for everyone.
At High Profile Architectural Mouldings, we exclusively use polystyrene mouldings to allow for any design requirement our clients need, with durable and shockproof quality.
If it’s not cornices, it could be the wall panel of your dreams. If it’s not a ceiling rose, maybe architraves are the way to go.
