Benefits of Custom Moulding Design

- Thoughtful millwork creates consistency in design from one room to another.
Volterra offers
special decorative moulding that can be customized, giving your home a look that’s utterly unique. Decorative moulding comes in a wide variety of designs. There are a few styles that are especially distinctive, and give a nod to different historical periods and famous buildings, which can add a feeling of timelessness to your home. Here are a few styles that you might see in luxury homes:
Dentil Moulding: Dentil moulding is strongly linked to Greek, Roman, and Neoclassical architecture, and features neat geometric rows of squares projecting below the cornice of a structure.
Egg and Dart: Egg and dart moulding (also known as egg and tongue moulding) is a highly ornate style that appears as alternating egg shapes interspersed with darts or other decorative features.
Cornice: Cornice moulding is also closely linked to classical style, although it often features a more streamlined design built to imitate the appearance of columns, especially in corner blocks.
Bead: Bead moulding appears as a repeated pattern of small circles offering a subtle yet distinct decorative effect. You might also see pearl moulding, which is similar, but smaller in detail.
Floral or Greenery: Want something unavoidably ornate? Try a floral, leaf, or fleur de lis pattern like those found throughout the palace of Versailles. Leave it to the French Baroque style to be lavishly ostentatious.
