Crown Molding, Specialty Trim Help Define the Style of Your Home

The color scheme, furniture, lighting, and cabinetry in your home will combine to create a specific style. Designing with an architectural focus using crown molding and other specialty trim will further define the style of your home. Moldings are not just decorative; they help provide a visual transition at the junctions of walls, ceilings, and floors. Some serve to frame doorways and windows, add style to a fireplace mantel, or finish the look of basic kitchen cabinetry.

Alexander Lumber has been providing lumber and other building materials to the Woodstock and surrounding communities for almost 130 years. It currently partners with Metrie, a vendor that has created millwork solutions for interior spaces for over 90 years, to offer beautiful moldings and specialty trim to homebuilders and remodelers.

Metrie offers a variety of molding styles for your home. The “Very Square” product line, described as crisp, linear, and peaceful, creates a very minimalist architectural design. The clean and simple approach of this style focuses on precise geometry and strong lines. The “Fashion Forward” line is contemporary and chic, with an on-trend approach and a balance of traditional and modern design.

The “True Craft” collection is inspired by the Craftsman, Mission, and Prairie styles, offering a sensible, grounded appearance. It provides feelings of warmth and confidence that come with authentic craftsmanship. Metrie’s “French Curves” offers elegance and glamor with fluid, classic curves and forms inspired by the Baroque and Empire periods. These designs are more formal and highly decorative.

Moldings and specialty trim offer terrific ways to punch up the style of your home. Whether you’re remodeling or building new, the options are nearly endless. Baseboards, door casings, cabinetry additions, wainscoting, beadboard, and other wood trim can be painted, stained, whitewashed, or left natural, depending on the look you’re trying to achieve in your home.
