Interior finishings can make a home look unique when it comes to renovating or building. Trim or moulding, ceiling treatments, interior doors and posts, ceiling treatments, ceiling treatments, and stairway systems are all examples of interior finishings. Metrie’s interior design experts have some great tips to help you select the right interior finishings for your home and style.
* STYLE: There are endless options when it comes to moulding profiles. It is important to take into account the style and personality of your home when choosing the moulding. Metrie.com has an excellent online resource called Room StylerTo assist with the selection process.
* TYPE: Primary trim is used in most home installations and includes baseboard, casings and crown mouldings. These trim elements are functional and set the tone for a room. Design-enhancing trim like chair rail, panel molding and architraves can add dimension and flair to any space. Ornamental trim is a decorative trim that warms up a space. It includes corner blocks, plinth block, rosettes, and Ikons. Metrie created the Metrie Catalogue to ease the confusion of all the choices. Then & Now Finishing CollectionsThe first industry-wide coordinated finishing elements. It consists of trim, moulding and interior doors that are sized and proportioned so they fit together easily.
* MATERIAL: Choose a material based on application and the finished result desired — options can range from solid wood species, to MDF to faux wood and flexible moulding options.
* SIZE: The choice should be based largely on the ceiling height of the room. There are many complementary profiles that can work in homes with different ceiling heights. Although the dimensions may vary, the style should not be altered from one room to another.
* APPLICATION: Trim can be used in a number of non-traditional ways, such as creating door headers, wall treatments or frames, and can be layered or built-up for a unique or custom look. Preparing the design can help to ensure that all necessary products are ordered in one go, which will reduce time and cut down on the project.
