Accent Wall
Mouldings can be found just about everywhere around the house. Some play a precise role, whereas those of an accent wall offer a (inexpensive) décor option that can be entirely personalized. Nothing quite like an accent wall to showcase a room! See the plan for moulding dimensions and the assembly instructions.
Pro Tip
If needed, paint the moulding before assembly. Touch ups will be much easier.
