I'm home

The mixed interior of different countries and periods has become popular recently. Mixed styles place emphasis on the resident’s comfort and personality rather than the style of the furniture itself. It is a house that is not only modern but has the ease of timeless comfort. The ease creates uniqueness and leads to a comfortable and relaxing house. Japanese modern architecture is simple and minimal, created with walls that lack texture and level differences. As a result, houses tend to be beautiful, like a simple box, but lack warmth and personal uniqueness. Fundamentally, a house should be a place to relax and a place for families and friends to gather. Thus, it is necessary to gain back a level of comfort by adding more expressiveness to overly modern architecture. In this issue, we focus on molding as an item to balance the architecture and interior. The history of molding is described starting from its usage in ancient Greek architecture to its use as a modern decoration. Moreover, from a practical perspective, we describe how to select and install molding that suit Japanese architecture. Also, usage of molding in foreign countries and variations of molding are picked up to encourage interest in interior decoration that adds expression to the current modernity seen in homes today.
