Stucco molding
Fashion is cyclical, so the decoration with curly elements from gypsum or polyurethane is again in trend. Such decorations can complement or create an accent in different design styles: classic, kitsch, Gothic, baroque, Renaissance and ancient Roman. Somewhere this is the foundation, and somewhere it’s just the finishing touch. This collection of photos of stucco moldings in the interior is specially prepared for those who believe that stucco decoration has long gone out of fashion or looks appropriate only in palaces. We bring to the attention of skeptics a photo of a repair with beautiful decorative stucco molding in order to choose an option that will fit into a modern interior.
Polyurethane stucco molding
Classical gypsum stucco decorations are being replaced by stucco made of polyurethane. In the photo in the interior it is not even immediately evident that the decor is made of another material. Although gypsum does not lose ground, the polymer has the following advantages:
- It will not crumble, crack, or yellow;
- easy to mount;
- can be washed.
The ceiling with stucco molding made of polyurethane, shown in the photo, will harmoniously fit into different styles of room decoration. But the arguments against the choice of such jewelry are also weighty - the material is highly flammable, cannot be restored, and the choice of patterns is rather small.
Stucco molding in the apartment
Photos of stucco moldings on the walls and on the ceiling in the apartment demonstrate both the variety of patterns and the versatility of such decor. Platbands and niches, plinths and cornices, arches and portals, columns and sockets - various elements of interior decoration make stucco. You can even find stucco-trimmed photos around paintings and mirrors. Not suitable for stucco decoration only for the floor. On the other surfaces, the location of stucco is limited only by the taste and sense of proportion of the owners. If the room is overloaded with such decorative inserts, then instead of grace the room will create a heavy impression.
Stucco on the walls in the apartment
Among the photos of interiors with stucco molding on the walls are decorations made with their own hands and with the help of professionals. By decorating the walls with stucco elements, the flaws of the room and cover are hidden. They show creativity by creating author’s compositions, pouring gypsum mortar into plasticine or wire forms. Even large elements are dried in 4 hours, and after light grinding and varnishing they are ready to take a place on the wall. If subsequently there is a desire to paint the stucco molding, you need to take a water-based paint and pre-prime the varnished surface.
Stucco on the ceiling in the apartment
The stucco ceilings are shown in the photo below in a classic white version.

A molded rosette will tint the ceiling light or chandelier, and ceiling plinths will create a contrast to the surface. Look at the photos of stucco molding in the hall or bedroom and evaluate how such decorations will fit into your interior.
Stucco on the wall
The photos of stucco molding in the interior of the apartment demonstrate that with such decorations it is important not to go too far and observe moderation. If stucco elements are generously used on the wall, it is better to refrain from decorating the ceiling in the same technique. Or choose stricter patterns. We also take into account the significant weight of the compositions if gypsum is selected, and the risk of the appearance of a fungus due to non-repulsion of moisture by the material. To protect the health of those living in the apartment, treat gypsum decorations with antiseptics.
Stucco ceilings
Polyurethane moldings are suitable even for baths, because they are not afraid of moisture and do not absorb odors.But for kitchen ceilings are not recommended, since there is a great danger of fire.
