Coving, Skirting, Wall Mouldings and Ceiling Roses
Our Regency mouldings take their influence from the classical proportions and decorative details associated with Regency interiors. The collection includes Regency wall mouldings and dado rails, skirting boards and a decorative ceiling rose, with profiles suited to both period properties and more contemporary interiors.
Regency interior design was strongly influenced by classical Greek and Roman architecture, with an emphasis on symmetry, proportion and decorative detailing. These features can be introduced throughout a room using mouldings at floor, wall and ceiling level.

Regency Wall Mouldings and Dado Rails
Regency wall mouldings and dado rails can be used to divide wall space, create decorative panelling or add architectural detail to otherwise plain walls. Choose from different widths and profiles depending on the scale of the room and the level of detail required.
Regency Skirting Boards
Our Regency skirting profiles provide a traditional finish at floor level, with standard and tall options available. Taller skirting can work particularly well in period properties and rooms with higher ceilings, where the proportions allow for a more substantial profile.
Regency Ceiling Roses
A Regency ceiling rose adds decorative detail around a central pendant or chandelier. Inspired by traditional Regency decoration, it can be used as part of a period restoration or to introduce a classical feature into a newer property.
The collection can be used individually or combined across a room to create a consistent Regency-inspired interior. Browse the Regency mouldings below to compare profiles, dimensions and applications.
Regency FAQs
What are Regency mouldings?
Regency mouldings are decorative architectural details inspired by interiors from the Regency period of the early 19th century. The style draws heavily on classical Greek and Roman architecture, with an emphasis on symmetry, proportion and refined decorative detail. Regency-style mouldings can include wall mouldings, dado rails, skirting boards, cornices and ceiling roses.
What mouldings are suitable for a Regency-style interior?
Wall mouldings, dado rails, decorative skirting and ceiling roses are all well suited to Regency-style interiors. They can be used together to create a coordinated period look or individually to add traditional architectural detail to a room.
Can Regency mouldings be used to create wall panelling?
Yes. Regency wall mouldings can be arranged into rectangular panels to create traditional decorative wall panelling. They can be used across a full wall or combined with a dado rail to divide the wall and create balanced proportions.
Are Regency mouldings only suitable for period properties?
No. Although Regency mouldings are particularly suited to period properties and restoration projects, they can also be used in contemporary homes. A simple wall moulding, taller skirting board or ceiling rose can introduce traditional architectural detail without making the entire room feel period-specific.
What is the difference between a dado rail and wall moulding?
A dado rail usually runs horizontally around a room and visually divides the wall. Wall mouldings are more commonly used to form decorative panels or frames. The two can be combined to create traditional wall panelling and other Regency-inspired layouts.
Can Regency mouldings be painted?
Yes. Mouldings can be painted to coordinate with the surrounding walls, woodwork and interior colour scheme. Painting mouldings the same colour as the wall creates a more understated finish, while contrasting colours can make the architectural details more prominent.
How do I choose the right Regency moulding for my room?
Consider the room's size, ceiling height and existing architectural features. Larger rooms and properties with high ceilings can generally accommodate wider or more detailed profiles, while smaller rooms may benefit from simpler mouldings. Check the dimensions on each product page before choosing a profile.
