Decorative wood moulding manufacturer
The following day you head to your local magazine shop to pick up some décor magazines in order to come up with some decorative wood moulding ideas in order to move this project into first gear.
through all the magazines that you purchased (seems that your renovation budget may have to be readjusted!), you discover many great mouldings; you are totally confused. So many choices, so many decorative wood moulding options; cutting out pictures of rooms and samples of mouldings; gluing them on to put together an assortment, you begin to feel like a school kid - a bit more and you will be scribbling out “Happy Birthday” using a wax crayon at the bottom of the page!

What exactly is decorative moulding? According to Word Web Online, a moulding [1] is a decorative strip that is used for ornamentation or finishing. At Newport Panels we manufacture decorative would mouldings using FSC certified maple.
King Georges and Queen Victoria
As you begin to read through your magazines, you discover some interesting tidbits: in the Georgian era, a period of British history from 1714 to 1830 where King Georges I, II, III and IV reigned [3],chair rails [2] were trendy as it was fashionable to place the dining room chairs against the wall when they were not being used; the chair rail protected the wall from the chair backs.
In Victorian times, a period of British history during Queen Victoria’s reign from June 1837 until January 1901 [4], the trend dictated that chairs be left around the table when not in use; since it was no longer needed, the chair rail eventually disappeared.
So, between the chair rails and the other decorative mouldings, there are so many options; although you will not likely push your chairs against the wall, it seems that the “Georges” may influence you, one thing is certain: you will be putting chair rail in your dining room. As for the rest…time to go to another magazine shop and spend some more of the budget on glossies.
