What is a wall frieze?
1 Answer
A wall frieze is a patterned or ornate band that extends around the room's perimeter. During the Victorian era, it became fashionable to integrate a frieze in interior design rather than as an exterior adornment. Friezes are frequently close to the top of the wall and help to balance a room by making an especially tall wall appear shorter.
