decorative molding
Wall accent strip
Decorative molding is trim used to embellish walls, ceilings, doors, or furniture—adding visual interest at transitions and edges.
Crown molding runs along ceiling lines; baseboards cover wall-floor joints; chair rails divide wall sections.
The term covers everything from simple strips to ornate carved profiles: The Victorian house featured elaborate decorative molding throughout.
