What Are Architraves?
The term “architrave” is used in two different senses in the architecture community. In the original sense, an architrave is part of the entablature used on the exterior of a structure as a decorative element. In the modern sense, architraves are the molding which surrounds doors and windows on the inside. Like other molding, they are purely ornamental in this sense, designed to make interior spaces more visually appealing and interesting.
