These are picture rails that allow the frame of the artwork to be hung without having to be nailed directly to the wall. This type of molding is often combined with crown molding that is one or two inches in height and appears to be seven to nine feet off the ground.

Bay

Coved molding, also known as coving, is a common coved trim used where walls and ceilings meet. It can also be used on stairs, at the junction of risers and treads. In essence, the cove can be considered a less ornate version of the crown.

Fluting

A decorative detail with a classical pedigree. The dome molding consists of small, evenly distributed blocks in a repeating pattern. Combined with crown molding, dentils are often found in historic homes.

Egg and Dart

In most cases, egg and dart molding appears with a crown or chair railings. Including oval egg shapes (modeled after ancient Greek stenciled decoration) alternating with V-shaped darts. Available at Home Depot; $18.72.
