What type of moulding would you install in a Dining Room?

A Dining Room is the perfect candidate for decorative moulding. If done properly, certain types of moulding can add the perfect touch of elegance to a Dining Room without changing the overall theme of the room.

These are Mouldings most typically used in a Dining Room:
1. Crown Moulding

• Crown moulding is like the cherry on top of a beautiful room. A room generally doesn’t feel complete without crown moulding.

2. Chair Rail Moulding

• Practical and decorative, Chair Rail is a great moulding that adds a nice simple accent to a room, while also protecting the wall from scratches and scuffs.

3. Base Moulding

• Similar to Crown Moulding, Base Moulding provides that “finished look” for a room. Even if the room already has baseboard, you can always consider upgrading the base moulding to match nicely with the rest of the moulding project.

4. Panel Moulding

• If you use chair rail with a nice base moulding, it would be in best taste to also use panel moulding. This serves as a union for the two elements while giving the room a more complete look.

5. Door and Window Casing

• Using Moulding for Door and Window Casing is a great way to add elegance to an otherwise simple Dining Room.

6. Wainscoting/ Shadow Boxing

• Wainscoting is next in popularity after Chair Rail and adds refinement to a room. There are limitless designs for wainscoting (such as Shadow Boxes) to meet individual tastes.

Since the Dining Room is usually where you entertain guests, it is a great idea to use a few of these moulding techniques to add some unique qualities to your Dining Room. You can also use any of these moulding ideas for another room or hallway of the house to achieve an overall beautiful and elegant appearance in your home.
