  Wall trim refers to various types of molding elements that can be aesthetically   combined to form decorative patterns, thus transforming plain walls. When used in   combination with wainscoting, the result is a room with elegance and substantive   visual appeal (see example below). There are various types of moldings including:

• Astragal, which is affixed to doors for decorative purposes.
• Baseboard or Base molding, which is used at the bottom of walls to protect it from impacts and to add visual flair.
• Batten, which is a symmetrical molding that is placed across a joint where
  two parallel panels or boards meet.
• Bed molding, which is a narrow molding used at the junction of a wall and ceiling.
• Casing, which is trim for door and window openings.
• Chair rails, which are placed on a wall to protect the surface from chairs and
  for decoration.
• Cove molding, which is used to decorate where wall corners and ceiling meet.
• Crown molding, which is used to decorate where walls and ceiling meet.
• Keel molding, which is a carved molding with a sharp edge that gets is name due to its resemblance to a keel of a ship.
• Screen molding, which is a thin molding that is used to cover the section
  where a screen attaches to a frame.
