Softening Spaces and Creating Mood Boards with Intrim’s Curved Mouldings

In the design space, we’ve all seen the rise of curves shaping interiors, creating a trend that really elevates the home through softness and fluidity. Becoming one of design’s most captivating elements, they soften modern interiors, add movement to minimalist spaces, and bring a sense of craftsmanship back into architectural detailing. 

Where straight lines can feel rigid, curves invite flow. With Intrim’s curved mouldings, skirting, and architraves, designers can now bring that fluidity to life with the same precision and quality Intrim is known for. 

From subtle curves that trace a staircase to grand arches framing an entryway, their collections are crafted to follow the contours of your imagination. Let’s explore the power of curves in Intrim’s curved skirting, mouldings and custom architraves, and see how you can style your mood board projects.

Curved Skirting 

A curve in architecture instantly introduces character when it softens structure without losing strength. Intrim’s curved skirting boards, made from flexible polyurethane, are designed to follow the natural movement of walls and staircases, matching any straight skirting profile for a seamless finish. The result is a continuous visual line that feels considered and effortless.

Styling tip: Pair curved skirting with tactile finishes, such as Venetian plaster, limewash, or textural paint, to emphasise the play of light along the curve. This combination works beautifully in coastal or contemporary spaces, where the focus is on calm transitions and soft silhouettes.

Concave and Half Round Mouldings

Thinking of adding texture to your walls for extra depth? Intrim’s concave and half-round mouldings are like little architectural accessories for your walls, adding subtle sculptural flair. Concave mouldings, with their gentle scalloped dips, play with depth and shadow, while half-rounds offer soft, raised curves that catch the eye. The best part? Both can curve around walls up to a 400mm radius, so you’re not limited by your space.

Styling tip: Use these mouldings to create rhythmic panelling in hallways or living spaces. 

Custom Curved Architraves

Intrim’s custom curved architraves give designers the freedom to beautifully frame curved windows and architectural openings, highlighting an already stunning feature within the room. From half-round and elliptical arches to curved or porthole window architraves, these bespoke profiles help you tailor every shape and bring elevated detail to your mood board. ? Intrim also provide custom-made curved timber mouldings to specification for bespoke shapes in your projects, including curved joinery trims and wainscoting corners.

Styling tip: Use curved architraves to define an entry point or frame a moment within your space.

Curved Wainscoting

Wainscoting instantly adds depth and refinement, and Intrim’s MDF inlay moulds can be kerfed to flow effortlessly across curved walls. This technique transforms traditional panelling into something organic and contemporary.

Styling tip: Emphasise the curve by layering textures around it, such as soft rugs, sculptural lighting, or subtle wall treatments, to make it a more prominent feature in the space.

All Intrim's mouldings can be curved, so it’s time to bring a new dimension to your mood boards and elevate your designs with their skirting and wall panelling options! Explore the range in our product library, create a mood board and use Project Studio to bring your vision to life.
