A dining room gets a style makeover with Royal Building Products’ interior trim.

Complement Your Décor With New Interior Trim Products

If ceilings, walls and hallways could only talk. Well, now they can. In the lexicon of design – texture, color, dimension and scale – the interior of your home speaks volumes. How can you get them to speak your language in the most beautiful possible way? Start with Royal^® crown moulding, casing and base moulding, and ceiling trim that add width, depth and height to walls and ceilings.

As HGTV.com notes, “One of the primary characteristics distinguishing a pretty room from a basic box is the attention to moulding. Interior mouldings provide attitude as well as architectural interest.” The increased framing adds dimension and visual interest reminiscent of elegant and stately homes.

The features and benefits of Royal’s interior products include:

• Factory finished: ready to cut and install
• Durable white or wood-grain finish resists dents and scratches
• Crisp, precise edges and details
• Detailed embossed or smooth profiles
• Will not crack, split or warp

Crown Moulding

The most dramatic — and dramatically low-maintenance — way to announce your ceiling is with Royal’s wide selection of crown moulding that will add as much or as little dimension to your ceiling as you choose. It gives durable, beautifully finished dimension you’ll never get tired of gazing at. No matter the style, this is where wall meets ceiling meets inspiration.

The size and drama of the curve of the crown moulding you choose can depend on your ceiling height.

“A deep crown moulding can add architecture to a room that has little, and it draws the eye upward in much the same way curtains hung at ceiling height do,” according to HGTV.com. A more complicated crown works better with high ceilings because of the proportions.

Crown moulding works together with casing and base mouldings to give a room character and strength.

Casing and Base Moulding

Openings in walls without doors are framed with woodwork called casing, which is used to define the opening and protects the wall surface from scratches. “A cased opening can suggest separation between two rooms without interrupting flow,” according to HGTV.com.

Royal casings and base mouldings are richly detailed, ready to install and essential for any interior upgrade project. Their low-maintenance properties mean you’ll never have to think about them again, except when it’s time to think about how beautiful they are.

As HGTV.com states, “Baseboards are the visual foundation for a room. They are like a line drawn under everything else that goes into the room.” Kick up the charm from the ground up by smoothing your floor-to-wall transitions and showcasing your entryways.

If the room has hardwood floors, add shoe moulding for a dramatic detail. It’s higher than quarter round and has a much better appearance.

Ceiling Trim

Royal’s low-maintenance ceiling trim is a great solution to an assortment of challenges — from pulling a room together, to making it seem more expansive and less ordinary to adding a complementary punctuation mark to your décor. With a picture frame motif, ceiling trim can define spaces on the ceiling, such as outlining chandeliers and other decorative items.

What Color to Choose

Royal indoor products come in white and wood-grain finish, which work well because moulding is meant to seem like a natural extension of the wall. HGTV.com suggests that mouldings in contrasting colors can look disjointed. The site suggests painting mouldings the same color as the wall but in a semigloss enamel finish to make a room feel larger and give it a sophisticated touch. The site also likes the idea of white crown moulding in rooms painted in dark colors for a “crisp, delicious contrast.”

Of course, the Internet has numerous articles about using more unusual paint color choices. Houzz.com gives eight reasons to paint interior trim black, one of which is to energize a space. If you like this option, be aware that the high contrast between white walls and black or dark trim can raise blood pressure! The color scheme makes sense in dining or living rooms where lively conversations take place, but not in rooms in which a more soothing or spa-like environment is desired.
