Material & Сoating
Small ornaments change how a surface reads. Decorative Architectural Shapes makes custom appliques & onlays that add relief, rhythm and a sense of craft to façades, interiors and furniture, without the weight of carved wood or cast plaster.
Materials and construction
Our pieces are cut with CNC technology from high-density architectural-grade EPS, so scrolls, florals and bas-relief patterns repeat exactly from one element to the next. A polyurea coating follows, applied before hand finishing, which keeps fine lines crisp. Unlike off-the-shelf polyurethane appliques and onlays or brittle plastic copies, the elastic coating moves with the substrate, so joints are less likely to crack. The system is covered by a 20-year warranty.
Where to use them
Architectural appliques and onlays work above entrances and in appliques and onlays for a pediment, under cornices, and around windows. Wall appliques and onlays refresh lobbies and living rooms. A fireplace applique adds detail to a mantel, and wood appliques for cabinet doors give a plain panel a carved look. The same method replaces plaster wall plaques or restores a lost carved element, and decorative onlays appliques can be finished to resemble wood, stone or painted plaster. A few well-placed elements are often enough to hide a joint, mark an entrance or give a standard house a distinctive character. Designers value that the pieces are light enough to fix to walls, doors and furniture without special supports.
Onlays and appliques come in many forms: carved appliques and onlays with deep relief, fireplace appliques and onlays for mantels, and flat appliques onlays for doors and panels. Whatever the pattern, onlays & appliques are cut from your drawing.

Discover our workFAQ
- What is the difference between appliques and onlays?
The terms overlap and are often used interchangeably. Both are decorative elements fixed on top of a flat surface such as a door, wall, cabinet or façade.
- What are your appliques made of?
High-density architectural-grade EPS, CNC-cut and covered with polyurea. It looks like carved wood, stone or plaster at a fraction of the weight.
- How are they different from polyurethane or plastic appliques from a store?
Retail pieces come in fixed sizes and patterns. Ours are made for your project, with the pattern, scale and finish matched to the architecture.
- Can they be used outdoors and indoors?
Yes. The elastic polyurea coating handles thermal movement outdoors, and the same pieces can decorate lobbies, walls, fireplaces and furniture indoors.
- How are they installed?
Usually with adhesive and fasteners, depending on the surface. Tell us the substrate and we advise on the method.
- Can you copy an existing carved element?
Yes. CNC technology reproduces scrolls, florals and other patterns precisely, which helps when an original element is lost or damaged.
- Can appliques be used on cabinet doors and furniture?
Yes, because the pieces are light. Share the door or panel size and the pattern you like.
- What warranty and information do you need to quote?
The structure and coating are covered by a 20-year warranty. For a quote, send drawings or photos, approximate dimensions, quantity and indoor or outdoor use.
