Appliques

  The Applique or Wall Frame is a decorative wall treatment that is easily achieved by trimming the wall at about the half way mark using a Large Chair Rail and creating shapes using smaller chair rail or panel molding below it. This is not to say that the applique is limited to the lower wall, far from it, many homes have them all over the walls and even the ceilings and doors. The most common Applique shape is the rectangle. The perfect Applique occurs when all four sides are the same distance apart from the Chair Rail, Baseboard and the next applique or wall. With different size walls in a room you will have to get creative with the shape of each individual applique, ideally you would like all of them to be approximately the same size but in reality it is nearly impossible. Using different combination's of widths and shapes  can achieve a perfect installation.

   There are many different ways to finish an applique installation. Many people opt for the traditional white applique on whatever solid wall color they may like while others use many different colors both in and outside the applique. You can also use wallpaper inside the squares and paint the outsides, the possibilities are endless and only limited by your imagination.
