Begin by planning the layout of the picture frame molding. For the main wall, three rectangles are planned: a larger central one flanked by two equally sized ones. For entryways, paneling will frame the openings. Use painter's tape to visualize the placement of the molding on the wall. Measure the total width (e.g., 133.5 inches) and height (e.g., 88.5 inches) of the wall. Sketch the design on paper, noting all dimensions and the desired spacing between molding pieces. Purchase lightweight wood trim (e.g., 19 pieces). Use a tape measure and a level to mark precise cut points on the trim pieces.
