Home Improvement > Moldings & Wood Trim > How to Add Classic Details to Moldings and Door Casings

Learn how to enhance a doorway or molding by adding decorative accents like plinth blocks, rosettes and other molding.

Begin with a simple plan. Depending on the style you're trying to achieve, you may reach your goal simply by attaching a layer of trim molding to the outer edges of existing molding pieces. You should start simply, and build up from there, adding additional layers as necessary.

As you have two surrounding edges (one edge of the existing molding, and the wall), a quarter-round molding is ideal here.
