Create something special with Flexlijsten
At Velida, we see every day how our Flex Frames can completely transform a space. But did you know you can create something truly unique with them? Think of an arch with a mirror, an artistic frame, or even a stylish makeover for your furniture. With a little creativity and our frames, you can give any room a unique look.
In this blog we discuss what fun DIY projects you could tackle with our Flex Frames.
An arch with a mirror as an eye-catcher
An arched molding instantly creates a soft, organic look. Perfect for those who prefer a calm, modern style. By placing a mirror within the arch, you transform it into a functional work of art that enhances light and space.
First, determine the position of the arch, for example, above a dresser or in the hallway. Use a laser line to determine the height and mark the center. Use a piece of string or masking tape to create a straight arch. Next, cut the Flex frame to size and glue it along the line. Our frames come with adhesive, but you can also use mounting adhesive and small nails for extra strength. Finally, choose a mirror that fits nicely within the arch and finish the edges neatly with sealant and paint for a sleek look.
Artistic frames on the wall
Flex frames are also perfect for creating large frames on the wall. Think of a frame around a painting, a wall lamp, or a strip of wallpaper. Painting the frame the same color as the wall creates a subtle texture that draws attention to the center. Many clients use this technique for gallery walls or to add a touch of luxury to a freestanding light fixture. On large walls, you can place multiple frames symmetrically. Just make sure there are even spaces between them for a calm and balanced result.
A headboard without a new bed
Want to create something special behind your bed? Create a visual headboard with just one horizontal molding about 120 cm high. Paint the area below it in a contrasting color, and you'll instantly create a stylish wall. You can further enhance this with one or more vertical moldings to create a classic headboard shape. A simple solution with a big impact.
Playful shapes in the children's room
Arched shapes work particularly well in children's or nurseries. An arch behind a crib or play area creates a visual focal point in the room. Fill the shape with cheerful wallpaper, chalkboard paint, or a mural. Flexible moldings are ideal because you can bend them precisely to fit the wall, even if it's not perfectly flat.
Furniture with elegant details
Our flexible moldings aren't just suitable for walls; they can also be used on furniture. Think of embellishing a cabinet, mirror, or drawer front. Because the moldings are flexible, they easily conform to curved or uneven surfaces. Apply them with glue, paint them in your desired color, and give an old piece of furniture a second life. This application is becoming increasingly popular with customers who want to add a unique, personal touch to their interior in an accessible way.
Practical tips from our experts
Use skirting board shears with a protractor to create neat corners. Draw or tape your design onto the wall before gluing, so you can assess it at your leisure. And don't forget that you can paint our Flex moldings in any color you like. Tone-on-tone creates a sense of calm, while contrast adds character.
Give your interior character
Flexible moldings are more than just a practical solution. They offer endless possibilities for personalizing, playfully enhancing, or even making a space more elegant. With a few simple adjustments, you can transform your wall or piece of furniture into a true focal point. Get inspired and discover what you can create with Velida moldings.
