Architraves and Cornices

I have learnt more in the last 2 weeks about mouldings than I care to know! Following on from selecting the skirting and picture rails we have now decide on the architraves and cornices.

Architraves:

We have chosen F8 (the second skirting) as the architrave; 90mm high with the 120mm skirt, 120mm high with the 200mm skirt.

(Update 28/5/14: Our builder has advised that 120mm architraves will be problematic, so they are all now 90mm).

Cornices:

The cornices were selected from Plaster Profiles Architectural Mouldings:

Federation Gutter (40) for the period areas (family, master bedroom, hallway and entrance way), 165 x 184 mm.
