Architectural Woodcarvings for Traditional Design

Earlier this year we did a post on getting a traditional kitchen look with detailed cabinetry. But the kitchen isn’t the only room that can benefit from corbels, mouldings, appliqués, rosettes, capitals, mantels and other wood-carved architectural details. These decorative woodcarvings can help add a touch of classic style to every room in the house. In fact, one Houzz ideabook on the elements of traditional style includes the importance of “statement molding and trim.” As the article explains:

“Traditional rooms are known for their beautiful finishing touches. Often, millwork and plasterwork bears strong detailing, including venerable motifs such as egg-and-dart or Greek key, and is painted crisp white or ivory.”

If you’re a designer hoping to bring these classic touches to your project, be sure to look at Art for Everyday’s amazing selection of traditional woodcarvings. We also do custom woodcarvings. Visit our website to find out more. Image via Houzz
