Create bolder and more prounounced doorways with extra wide architrave. The pronounced width and size of wide architraves has an impressive visual impact on the interior aesthetic of a room.
The larger dimensions of wide architrave creates a substantial framing effect around doorways and openings, particularly fitting in large rooms with high ceilings or larger sized doors, where standard-sized architrave may not complement the increased interior scale.

In larger rooms and on larger doors, wide architraves create a visual balance by restoring the architectural scale of the interior. By providing a stronger frame around the openings, they can help to anchor the doorway or opening within the room, making it more cohesive and unified.
Additionally, the wider surface area allows for more creative freedom in terms of decorating and finishing, allowing the architrave to become a focal point or design feature in its own right.
Another advantage of wide architraves is their ability to hide imperfections in the wall or opening. In older homes or buildings, walls may not be perfectly straight or even, and larger openings may have slight irregularities. Wide architraves can help to cover up these imperfections, creating a smoother and more polished look, where standard sized architraves may fail.

Wide architraves can be used to create a sense of separation between different areas of a room or open floor plan. For example, in a open concept living and dining area, wide architraves can be used to define the dining area, by framing the transitional entranceway or walkway, without the need for walls or other physical barriers.
Wide architraves are also a great option for homes with a more traditional or classic design aesthetic. The wider dimensions and increased detail can add a sense of grandeur and elegance to the space, creating a more luxurious and high-end look.
