Kate Rumson - Decorative Trim

Earlier this year, Kate Rumson with the Real Houses of IG contacted Novo Building Products to assist in the building of her new home. This home has been in the works for the past two years and is on its way to being completed in the next few months. However, this isn’t just any ordinary home build. Kate decided to build this home with the help of her 2 million Instagram followers.
Kate Rumson is the founder of The Real Houses of Instagram, one of the largest Interior Design and Luxury Real Estate media brands with a community of more than 2 million people. She has been involved in design and real estate development for over a decade and gained global recognition in 2015 when The Real Houses of Instagram became a household name and a go-to resource for anyone thinking of buying, building, or remodeling a home.
Not only is Kate great at assisting in the design and real estate development, but one of the greatest things her audience appreciates is that she takes them along on the ride. In Kate’s new home, she offers her audience the chance to determine major design elements in her home by voting right on Instagram.
Ornamental MOULDING AND MILLWORK’S INVOLVEMENT
While Kate worked directly with Empire Moulding and Millwork on most of her profiles, she saw one specific profile from Ornamental Moulding and Millwork that caught her eye. When she looked to add decorative trim to an array of rooms in her home, she selected OML43 to be that profile. The team at Ornamental jumped at the opportunity to be a part of this unique project.
Once Kate received that OML43 profile, her team began installing all of the trim in her new home to create stunning picture frame moulding. While trimming an entire home is no small feat, Kate and her team made it look easy as she walked her audience through the installation process on her social media channels. While the trim is not yet complete in her home, the vision is stunning and everyone at Novo can not wait to see how the space turns out with all of our brands on display.
FINISHED SPACE
While her home is still under construction, Kate and her team are hard at work to get things finished by the end of 2022. With Novo Building Product’s moulding and stairs products heavily displayed in the grand entryway, it is going to be a beautiful reveal after all of their final touches are complete.

Not only is this project a great spotlight for our companies, but it has also received national media attention. DesignNJ recently published an article in their magazine about the entire moulding selection process and Kate’s tips on selecting the best trim for your style. “Unless you are lucky enough to live in an older home appointed with extensive trim and molding from floor to ceiling, you may find yourself feeling like it’s lacking in architectural character. The best way to add character and visual interest to a new home is by installing wall molding or paneling.” See more from that article on DesignNJ’s blog.
Stay in the loop on this project by following all Novo Building Products’ social media accounts. There will be plenty of beautiful photos to share and more project information coming soon on the blog.
