What is Ogee Molding?
Ogee molding is a type of decorative molding or trim with a curved S-shaped profile.
Definition
Purpose
Ogee molding is added after the main construction work is complete to give a surface a more finished appearance. Usually, it is installed around cabinet edges and doors, along ceilings, or where walls meet other building elements. In some interiors, it is also used as horizontal decorative molding to break up large wall surfaces or add architectural detail. While it improves the look of a space, it is generally not a structural component.
Examples of Use
- Kitchen cabinets: Ogee molding is installed along cabinet edges and doors to create a more detailed finish.
- Interior trim: Carpenters use ogee molding around windows, doors, and ceilings to complement the room's design.
- Wall detailing: A horizontal decorative molding can be added between the upper and lower sections of a wall for visual interest.

Notes
- Ogee molding is available in wood, MDF, PVC, and other trim materials.
- The profile is identified by its smooth S-shaped curve rather than its size.
- It is commonly paired with other molding or trim to achieve a traditional or decorative interior style.
