This post is sponsored by Metrie, North America’s largest solid wood and MDF moulding company. Since 1926, Metrie has transformed spaces with exquisitely crafted architectural trim. They were previously known as Moulding & Millwork.
Moulding is not just for grand homes and formal living spaces. Kitting out a small room like a bathroom with moulding will bring a layer of sophistication and luxury to the space. Below are three small bathrooms I designed where moulding was a key part of the design plan.
And for more inspiration, here are some beautiful bathrooms where moulding has transformed the space.

Moulding is a great way to add instant charm and character to a space that is primarily known for its practicality. It’s probably the first thing you notice in these spaces and what makes them stand out. Moulding applied to the wall provides a softer more elegant appearance to a bathroom than using tiles.
Metrie just introduced its Then & Now Interior Finishing Collections™ featuring five distinct styles of coordinated mouldings and interior doors. Every element in the product line works together both aesthetically and functionally for a perfect fit. They have taken the guesswork out of selecting interior finishings (crown, wall and baseboard trim, doors and other decorative elements.)

I was paid by Metrie to write this post but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

June 27, 2014I have been wanting to add moulding to my master bath. It has a huge blank wall and I think it would really make difference. One of these days!

July 13, 2014Mouldings really do elevate the look of a space, don’t they? Great images, I’m going to have to pin a few to my pinterest “mouldings and trim board” 🙂
