USES FOR HALF ROUND MOULDING
You may consider half round moulding as plain compared to crown
molding or other types of molding. However, there are certain uses for half
round molding that will make your projects sparkle.
1. Cabinet Trim
You can liven up undecorated kitchen and bathroom cabinets with half
round molding. Frame the perimeter of cabinet doors with half round
molding before repainted them. For an ultra-sophisticated look, use rope
molding—another type of half round molding.
2. Shelf Trim
Most of us have a plain shelf or two somewhere in our homes. Give those
dull shelves a lift by adding half round molding along the edges. This gives
the shelves a neat, finished look.
3. Faux Picture Frame
Do you have an unadorned wall in your home but have no idea how to
decorate it? Consider using half round molding to create a large frame on
the wall. Try using two or three side-by-side runs of half round molding; use
more for an elaborate look. On the wall, arrange the molding in the shape
of a picture frame. Then, hang various smaller, framed pictures within the
large half round molding frame. This creates an instant art gallery.
4. Cover-Up
Use half round to cover the gap between two cabinets or where two pieces
of paneling come together.
There are many uses for half round moulding. Your imagination is the limit.
When installing, use wood glue and finish nails.
