For example, if you have one side of a box thatвЂ™s 6-ft and another thatвЂ™s 5-ft, using a 12-ft piece of mouldingВ yields both the 6-ft and 5-ft pieces, only leaving 1-ft of scrap moulding. Looking at your wall map, calculate what lengths of moulding will cover the area with the least waste. Once you have mapped out your wall, simply add up the measurements of each box and add 10% for waste.В Standard wood moulding usually comes in 8, 10 and 12-ft lengths. The three main boxes are repeated 2 more times, each 5вЂі smaller then the last. The largest centered box measures 63 inches across and the two largest side boxes measure 48 inches across. This will trick the eye into seeing straight lines.ДЇor example, my wall measures 160 inches across. Instead of mapping out your molding boxes to be level, match the lines created by the ceiling. Tip: Your floor and ceiling will probably not be level. I completely drew out the full design on my wall first.
