Creative ways to use façade mouldings in interior design

Façade mouldings are one of those decorative elements that are perfect not only for decorating a property from the outside, but also from the inside. If you're decorating a house or flat, or perhaps you're planning to refresh an existing arrangement a little - then you should definitely consider using façade mouldings. In the past, these used to be heavy and difficult to install plaster mouldings, but nowadays their place has been taken by typical polyurethane stuccowork or standard market polystyrene mouldings.

Why use facade mouldings?

When planning the arrangement of a property, it is worth taking care not only of its functional finishing, but also of its aesthetics. Stucco, which is what façade mouldings are, has been popular for years. Already in ancient times, façade mouldings were used to decorate interiors, particularly in palaces, manor houses and townhouses. Interestingly, they were used to decorate not only the walls, but also the ceilings. When properly selected, they introduced an elegant atmosphere, giving the interior a unique character.

Interior façade mouldings are nowadays not only used for decorative purposes. Quite often they are also used as a way of concealing wires or imperfections in the form of unevenness or damage to walls. Arrangements with façade mouldings are also very popular because of their ease of installation. Façade profiles are lightweight, strong and have a smooth surface. They are manufactured from hardened polystyrene which is then coated with special stucco compounds, so that the façade mouldings and cornices have sharp and distinctive edges. The texture of the plaster resembles smooth sandstone, making the stucco look more luxurious and prestigious. Façade mouldings are easy to adjust in terms of individual interior parameters. In addition, it is not necessary to use advanced solutions for their installation - it is enough to use the right type of glue and a regular wood saw.
