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.

Since you have only one surrounding edge this time (the face of the original door molding), select a suitable half-round molding.

Measure and cut pieces. Since there will be a plinth block on each end of these pieces, use straight cuts instead of 45 degree miters.

Nail the new molding in place.
