Bed Molding Overview

Bed molding is a refined trim style commonly used where walls meet ceilings or as part of built-up crown molding assemblies. Often classified within the family of bed and coves, this molding features a concave curve that adds subtle architectural detail and visual softness to interior transitions. Though compact, bed molding enhances traditional and classic spaces with its understated elegance.

Profile Description

  • Features a concave (cove) curve that gently sweeps inward, softening the transition between surfaces.
  • Can include additional detailing, such as small beads or other subtle embellishments, characteristic of many bed and cove profiles.
  • The profile is usually small in height and projection, making it suitable for more subtle decorative needs.
  • Typically used in conjunction with larger moldings, adding to the overall complexity of built-up trim.

Purpose

  • Serves as a decorative trim that softens and enhances the transition between ceilings and walls.
  • Provides a smooth, elegant finish to crown molding setups.
  • Used to create layered or built-up moldings by adding detail to the edges of larger trim pieces.
  • Adds subtle architectural interest to a room without overpowering the space.

Common Uses

Crown Molding Combinations: Often used as part of a crown molding setup, either by itself in small rooms or in combination with larger crown pieces to create a more elaborate look.

Cabinet and Furniture Trim: Applied as an edge detail in cabinetry and furniture design, providing a finished look to the top or bottom edges.

Under Shelving and Mantels: Frequently used as a decorative trim under shelves, mantels, or other overhanging elements, adding depth and elegance.

Ceiling Transitions: Used along the junction where the ceiling meets the wall, often as a standalone trim in smaller spaces.

How a Profile Molding Knife Works

  1. The profile knife itself is a piece of metal designed to be attached to a planer or molding machine.
  2. The profile of the cutting edge replicates the specific design of the bed molding you want to create.
  3. By running wood planks through the machine with the profile knife attached, the wood is shaped into the desired bed molding profile.
