The architectural decor at all times helped to emphasize the style of uniformity of the interior. However, today, designers with excitement combine elements of different styles and find them more and more unexpected use.
Moldings
Moldings are decorative details in the form of overhead profiled slats. They are used to decorate walls, ceilings and arches, giving a more expressive and completed appearance, as well as as an original framing of doors, windows or frames for mirrors, paintings.
Common molding length - 2 m, height ranges from 22 to 220 mm. The profile may be simple, flat, as well as with a pronounced relief. Elements of different architectural styles are made in traditional for stucco white. For toning, paints are used - water-emulsion, acrylic, which are applied without prior preparation.

Molding often plays the role of an independent decorative product or serves to designate joints of different color and textured solutions or materials
Sockets
The rosette is a rope decoration of a round, oval or rectangular shape, with a vegetable, heraldic or abstract ornament, sometimes with a hole in the center for the supply of electrical communications and fixing the lamp. The diameter of the elements: from 15 to 100 cm.
The classic purpose of the outlet is to serve a graceful framing of the chandelier. But if you move this element from the ceiling on the wall, it will turn into an unusual decorative panel, a clock or a night light. The effect of the lace ceiling creates "mortise" gypsum sockets. They do not have visible joints with the surface of the ceiling, and they seem to be a harmonious continuation of the latter, and the volumetric pattern is clearly released on the plane.

In the traditional application, the socket must match the size of the ceiling, the type of lamp, and the ornament - to harmonize with the interior style

The rosettes from plaster (up to 5 kg) are fixed on the ceiling with a solution of PVA, water and gypsum glue, polyurethane - special adhesive compositions. More massive products are additionally fixed by self-draws.
Flexible elements
The flexible analogues of the eaves and moldings, which are absolutely coinciding in shape and sizes with rigid and possessing the same qualities, simplify the design of rounded echers, arches and arched doors, but are about twice as expensive. They are in the assortment of most companies producing products from polyurethane foam: "Europlast", NMC, ORAC Decor. By the way, non-flexible, and the moldings of gypsum expedited by the desired radius can be ordered in specialized workshops. But be prepared for the fact that their manufacture will take some time, and the price, compared to the similar straight, will increase 3 times.

Flexible decorative elements are suitable for decoration of convex, concave and arched plots
The curvilinear surfaces of the walls, arches, columns help to arrange flexible moldings, eaves, plinths. They are made of polyurethane with the addition of rubber plasticizer, thanks to which elements acquire special plasticity and can be bent in different directions. Before buying, it is worthwhile to ask the minimum possible radius of the convex, concave and arched bend of a particular product (on average from 550 to 4500 mm). We produce flexible analogues for almost all hard elements with a variety of profiles and reliefs. By the way, choosing eaves and plinths, remember that they must match each other in width. The bulky decor at a low ceiling will give the room an unnecessary heavyweight, and a thin plank only emphasizes the horizontal, besides the room visually becomes more spacious.

Over time, moldings from polyurethane (both harsh and flexible) do not lose their original appearance. They are distinguished by high resistance to temperature and humidity drops, the effects of UV rays.

Cornis
Eaves for hidden lighting, in contrast to conventional ceiling, inside with reflective film. The light source most often serve as luminescent lamps and LED ribbons, giving a scattered light stream. Backlit cornices visually increase the height of the ceiling or act as an unusual means of zoning space. To enhance optical effects, various combinations of eaves, creating directed rays of light, as well as colored lamps are used.

By studying architectural design and interior design, and most importantly, the implementation of the developed projects, we prefer gypsum stucco. It is she who makes it possible to perform an individual decor on the artist's copyrighted sketches. In addition, products from this impeccable environmental terms are fireproof, resistant to temperature differences, do not shrink, do not crack and are not deformed over time. The stucco decor is distinguished by genuine beauty, as in reliable classic interiors, without the feeling of butaforia. In addition to the aesthetic, the laying of plaster is quite functional. It helps to level the imperfections of the premises and hide various technical communications (wiring and ventilation conclusions).

Fireplace
The traditional interior of the living room with a real fireplace is an unrealized dream of many residents of urban apartments with central heating. But there is an alternative: a fireplace portal from polyurethane, in size and principles of registration indistinguishable from the present. This option allows you to quickly equip beautiful and durable falsemine, which, however, will save the property useful for the following redevelopment - mobility.
