Mission Appliques Are Just The Right Touch for Stairway

Can you think of a product that adds decorative detail and texture to an otherwise plain surface? Appliques are versatile wood products that can add a custom touch to a plain flat surface. They create a focal point, and even disguise millwork errors! Osborne's Large Mission Block Onlay is a great example of versatility. See how it is used to add interest and texture to this newel post. It also successfully defines each stair tread. Michelle Seale from Houston, TX provided these photos of a project completed recently by the Houston Dream Team. Although quite small, these Mission Block appliques are beautiful embellishments for this stairway. One applique adorns each stair tread.

Osborne Wood Products boasts an expansive selection of decorative wooden onlays and appliques. These pieces allow for endless customization and embellishment opportunities. Almost any piece of furniture or wall in the home can have an onlay or applique added to it. Each one is simple to install and acts as a useful tool to emphasizing a certain theme.
