Stucco in the interior is something that has come down to usan ancient architectural tradition known for several millennia. As once in Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece, in the eras of classicism and rococo, empire and baroque, exquisite patterns of stucco molding today can leave few people indifferent. And that is why more and more people are turning to this ancient way of decorating the interior. The variety of stucco forms makes it possible to decorate not only classical interiors with stucco molding, but also modern minimalist ones. With the help of stucco molding in the interior, harmony is achieved in the formation of space. For example, with the help of asymmetrically located stucco molding, you can level out the irregular shape of the room. Stucco moldings will help to divide the wall surface into separate sections, thereby correcting the proportions of the room. By making cornices from stucco molding for hidden lighting in the upper part of the walls, you can create the effect of a “floating ceiling”. Designers often use stucco molding in the interior as architectural elements that can hide risers or pipes running in an inconvenient place. Stucco is often used to decorate false and electric fireplaces, decorating fireplace mantels, chimneys, and shelves. Stucco in the interior, the ornament of which is repeated on the ceiling, walls, furniture, and doors, creates a stylistic unity of the room, gives it a respectable look, and creates an atmosphere of both aristocracy and coziness. Modern decorators use a large selection of stucco details: borders, rosettes, cornices, niches, pedestals, elements for decorating doorways and doors, as well as furniture.

Methods of using stucco in the interior

Stucco cornices can not only decoratethe perimeter of the ceiling, but also to disguise possible irregularities at the junction of the walls and the ceiling. Ceiling rosettes usually form the main part of the ceiling composition and most often frame chandeliers. They can have a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Harmoniously selected together with stucco cornices and moldings, they give the ceiling a finished look. As you can see, stucco moldings in the interior often allow you to hide the flaws of builders. Stucco domes can completely transform the room and create the illusion of an infinity of the ceiling. Arched elements will help to effectively decorate the space inside the niche, as well as emphasize book shelves or a bar. And overhead stucco panels on the doors will add solemnity to the room. Niches - another element of stucco decor - are mounted in the wall. By selecting a frame for them, you can get something like a small stage, where various decorative items are installed. Such niches, decorated with picturesque lighting, will become a magnificent frame for a vase or sculpture, a candlestick or an ordinary flowerpot, which will look very festive on a molded pedestal.

Materials

But gypsum is a very fragile and heavy material that can crumble and crumble over time. Today, manufacturers and decorators offer moldings made of other, more modern materials: foam plastic and polyurethane. Polyurethane moldings are stronger and more rigid than foam plastic, so decorators prefer to use them when decorating rooms. Polyurethane moldings in the interior, painted with modern paints, are no different in appearance from the classic ones. The lightness of the material makes it easy to attach polyurethane moldings in the interior using any glue. Unlike gypsum, it can be used in rooms with high humidity - for example, in bathrooms or swimming pools. The use of moldings in a modern interior makes it possible to emphasize the splendor of any style - from minimalism to classics.

However, experts advise not to forget that stucco in the interior of small apartments is not always appropriate. Massive stucco decorations can lead to a visual reduction of the apartment.
