Mouldings like beading and dado rails have a long and rich history in interior design, dating back centuries. These elegant architectural elements were commonly used to add visual interest and texture to walls in traditional homes.
The use of mouldings originated in the grand manors and palaces of Europe during eras like the Georgian, Regency, and Victorian periods. Skilled woodworkers would meticulously install intricate wood moulding designs to adorn the walls of estates, creating visually striking rooms that exuded sophistication and refinement.
One of the most popular moulding treatments was the traditional beaded wall panelling. With its linear pattern created by vertically-installed beading strips separated by horizontal dado rails and capped top and bottom rails, this wall treatment added architectural dimension. The patterns formed by the moulding profiles created subtle depth and shadow lines that cast visual movement across the walls.
Practical Use of Mouldings
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, mouldings serve a practical purpose as well - covering the lower half of walls helps protect them from scratches, dents, and damage in high-traffic areas. The dado rail in particular acts as a wainscoting cap to the beaded sections below.
In interior design, wood mouldings enable designers to seamlessly blend together various historical design influences. Using mouldings evokes a sense of French chateau elegance or Georgian grandeur. The intricate wooden mouldings also help to establish a formal atmosphere befitting libraries, dining rooms and parlors of centuries past.
Today, the use of mouldings remains a hallmark of traditional and transitional interior styles. Designers incorporate beading, dado rails and other profiles to add architectural character, visual texture and old-world charm. Whether installed as statement accent walls or wainscoting treatments, these mouldings help cultivate warmth and sophistication in modern homes reminiscent of Europe's stately manor houses.
Whether you want to purchase individual moulding pieces cut to your specifications or opt for a convenient all-in-one panelling kit, our moulding collection has the versatile trim work you need for accent walls, entryways, living rooms and more. Elevate your interior spaces with these high-quality architectural embellishments.

Service was good
Service was good, end product of my order was cut accurately and to a high standard. However, if you do not have a completely flat even surface, painted I suspect with a gloss finish, the metal tape will not stick, I had to supplement with double sided mounting tape to take out irregularities and achieve satisfactory adhesion. It is also very frustrating to only be able to communicate by email and not actually talk problems through with someone. Otherwise, I would recommend 'Cut my' and would use you again.

Fabulous panelling kit
It was great that they automatically work out the spaces for the panelling depending on your measurements. Good quality and easy to put up. Can’t wait to paint it now!
