Inheriting moulding in your new home is one of the biggest architectural design scores you can get! (If this applies to you, we hope you patted yourself on the back and celebrated.) On the other hand, if you’re looking to add moulding to your home, you’ve come to the right place. We have ALL the inspiration. Trust us, you’ll need it. After browsing this slideshow of 27 (mostly) monochrome moulding, your smooth, flat walls will bore you to pieces.
(See the gold detailing on this otherwise dusty pastel blue-painted wall? That’s what we’re talking about.)

Place items symmetrically between your paneled moulding to create a sophisticated display.

This intricate, unique moulding is found all over this apartment—including detailing on the wood burning stove you see in the back there.
The owners of this apartment painted the bottom half of the moulding, but opted to leave the top white, the same color as the ceiling, which balances this bright hue perfectly.

The most intricate mouldings often look best when painted the same color as the walls, often white. It creates a minimalistic, European vibe.

Make a super bold statement by painting your walls a deep, moody teal from the lowest molding all the way through the ceiling.

The contrast of this mega modern kitchen and floor to ceiling windows with the vintage-esque chevron floors and moulding is balanced by the fact that it is all painted the faintest hue of gray.

Look closely and you’ll see the sides of this skinny moulding is painted gold, simultaneously creating the illusion of a monochrome wall and breaking it, creating even more depth.

Moulding doesn’t have to be reserved for ornate common spaces. Bring some drama into your bathroom with moulding, but create some softness with a nice pastel hue, like the pink (and yellow!) you see here.
![white-kitchen-yellow-ceiling](https://www.domino.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/27/56f1a6ea4fe668b21202e406-h1000_fhwq3q.jpg?strip=all&quality=95)
Bring more attention to your moulding by painting only your ceiling a brighter hue, drawing the eye to the point where the color meets your unpainted wall. This yellow, white, and gray kitchen is the perfect example.

Look familiar? It’s the same Parisian apartment from before. This space proves statement-making moulding makes just as much as an impact when kept monochrome white.
![Wall Moulding Ideas Gray Walls Molding](https://www.domino.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/27/571fd0cca45f30b81220d0f9-h1000_jpro1n.jpg?strip=all&quality=95)
Planning on DIY-ing your own moulding? Take a cue from these homeowners and create your desired shapes and designs exactly where you want them.

Thinking you have to split up the color of your walls just because you inherit chair rail moulding is a way of the past. Paint your entire wall one color for added continuity and visual interest.

This bathroom is busy, busy, busy! Painting over pre-existing moulding with bold stripes is a commitment, but it’s your risk to take.
![Wall Moulding Ideas Hunter Green Walls And Molding](https://www.domino.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/27/571fd07404e240b612a32e44-h1000_kk9htz.jpg?strip=all&quality=95)
These hunter green-grayish walls create a completely monochrome space by painting the floor, ceiling, all mouldings, built-in units, and walls the same hue.
![Wall Moulding Ideas White Molding Detail Teal Doors](https://www.domino.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/27/571fd0c24fe668b21202f391-h1000_l7nkas.jpg?strip=all&quality=95)
Having a painted door is ALWAYS more fun than leaving it whitewashed or wood. We love these rustic doors that use framed moulding to create a pattern.

Make your space moody with darker colors—including the moulding—with varied frames hanging in the center of each panel.

Sometimes, symmetry is everything—including here.

Surprisingly, the moulding detailing in gold actually catches your eye in this bold, busy space.

Moulding and paneling doesn’t have to be ornate—it can be minimalistic, like you see here, too.

Yep, this is still Fendi’s house (or more appropriately, mansion) featuring the perfect mix of modern and ornate.

Another bold hue with just as much complicated moulding and paneling.

Create smaller squares for a more unique look you don’t typically see.

There’s nothing wrong with treating your moulding in a more traditional manner. Emphasize your moulding by painting it darker than you walls. Bonus points for coordinating it with your frames.
