Are you tired of using the same old mouldings? Do you feel like your designs could use a little creativity? Have you ever walked into a room in an old house and it just felt right? Well there is a reason why the builders and designers back 150 to 200 years ago understood this idea of classical proportions and classical design. Have you ever heard of the Golden Rectangle? This idea of perfect proportions? Well if you understood the idea, you know that it could change the way you use mouldings and how you design a room.
