The Best Places to Put Your Carved Rosettes
July 22, 2015
Wood rosettes can be a great addition to any home with a traditional or transitional style. They’ve been used for decorating window and door casings since the 19th century. They were particularly popular in Victorian homes, but right now is still the perfect time to incorporate them into your home.

Your home’s moulding provides an outline to all areas that goes a long way in defining the style and feel of those areas. Add detail to the existing wood moulding and trim in your home by matching their color and style with carved rosettes. These can easily add a punch of dynamism and drastically change the feel of an area, or simply provide a subtle and elegant splash of character. For homes that feel too sleek and modern, rosettes can bring areas back in time to offer a more rustic or classic style. Carved rosettes also fit right in and further enhance the flavor of homes that are already ripe with traditional architectural flourishes. They truly can add class and character to any area of any home when properly incorporated into the existing style. Stop by our blog for more trends and tips, or contact Art For Everyday online now.
