- Conclusion: A systematic approach to interior design
Have you ever noticed that even expensive furniture can look alien in an interior? A wardrobe stands against a wall, but it seems as if it was just brought in and forgotten to be unpacked. A chest of drawers is beautiful on its own but disconnected from the space. Doors close, but the architraves don't echo the baseboards. The interior fragments, each element shouts for attention, but there is no dialogue.
The reason is simple: furniture and architectural elements were ordered from different places, made from different wood species, painted with different paints, designed by different hands. The oak on the furniture is light, the oak on the baseboards is dark. The profile of the wardrobe cornice has a bead, the profile of the ceiling cornice has a cavetto. The grain on the facades is vertical, the grain on the architraves is horizontal. The details don't match, and the interior falls apart.
solid wood trim piecesandSTAVROS furnitureWe solve this problem systematically. Everything is produced in one place, from the same batch of wood, with the same processing, the same finish. Baseboards, cornices, architraves, glazing beads, battens — and furniture: wardrobes, chests of drawers, tables, chairs — are manufactured as a single collection, where each element continues the other, where profiles echo, grains are coordinated, colors are identical.
What are millwork products and why they are important
Millwork — these are interior elements measured in linear meters: baseboards, cornices, architraves, moldings, battens, glazing beads. They are extended, linear, installed along walls, ceilings, openings. Millwork does not exist on its own — it serves architecture: covers joints, frames openings, creates transitions, divides planes.
Functions of millwork in interior design
A baseboard closes the gap between the wall and floor, protects the bottom of the wall from kicks, mops, furniture. Without a baseboard, the joint is rough, dirt gets into the gap, installation imperfections are visible. With a baseboard, the joint is neat, protected, finished.
A cornice closes the joint between wall and ceiling, visually raises the ceiling (especially if the cornice is white, like the ceiling), creates an architectural finish. Without a cornice, a room looks unfinished, flat. With a cornice — volumetric, architectural.
An architrave frames a door or window opening, closes the gap between the frame and wall, creates visual decoration, a frame. An architrave is a frame for a door, like a frame for a painting: it highlights, emphasizes, completes.
A glazing bead secures glass in a frame (windows, doors, furniture display cases), presses it, closes the edge, creates a decorative transition. A glazing bead is thin (cross-section 8-15 mm), but noticeable: if the glazing bead is not coordinated with the frame in color, grain — it catches the eye.
Battens and muntins divide planes (walls, furniture facades) into sections, create rhythm, structure. Battens on a wall form panels, muntins on wardrobe facades create frames, panels. Without battens, a wall is monotonous; with battens — structured, readable.

Millwork as a link between architecture and furniture
Furniture exists in a space bounded by walls, ceiling, floor. Millwork decorates these boundaries: baseboard at the floor, cornice at the ceiling, architraves in openings. If furniture and millwork are not connected (different materials, colors, profiles), the furniture looks alien, not belonging to the space.
If furniture and millwork are from the same collection (one wood species, one finish, coordinated profiles), the furniture becomes part of the architecture. The cornice on top of a wardrobe repeats the profile of the ceiling cornice — the wardrobe is visually integrated into the architecture, even if physically standing separately. The door architrave echoes the molding on the chest of drawers facade — the door and chest of drawers speak the same language. The baseboard and furniture plinth have the same profile — the floor and furniture are connected.
This connection creates integrity in the interior. The eye moves through the space smoothly, without stumbling, without dissonance. Elements flow into one another, rhythms repeat, materials are coordinated. The interior ceases to be a collection of things — it becomes a composition where parts form a whole.

The range of STAVROS millwork products
Production of trim elementsThe range at STAVROS covers the entire spectrum of elements necessary for decorating classic and modern interiors. Over 200 profiles in the catalog: from simple rectangular battens to carved cornices with gilding. Everything is made from solid oak, beech, or MDF, with professional finishing, precise geometry, ready for installation.
Baseboards: from floor to architecture
A baseboard — a basic millwork element, present in 100% of interiors (except experimental ones where baseboards are intentionally absent). STAVROS offers baseboards with heights from 60 mm (minimal, for minimalist interiors) to 150 mm (tall, for classic interiors, creating monumentality).
Baseboard profiles: straight (rectangle with a beveled top edge, for modern interiors), shaped (with a bead, cavetto, shelf, for classic styles), carved (with ornament — leaves, rosettes — for lush Baroque interiors). Each profile is available in several wood species (oak, beech) and finishes (natural wood under oil, tinted, painted with enamel).
STAVROS baseboards are made from kiln-dried solid wood (moisture 8-12%, stable, does not warp after installation), milled on CNC machines (profile perfectly precise, repeatable along the entire length), sanded (surface smoothness, readiness for finishing), coated with oil, wax, or enamel (protection, aesthetics).
Length of baseboard planks: 2.2 meters, 2.4 meters, 2.8 meters (standard lengths, convenient for transportation, minimizing the number of joints in a room). Custom lengths are possible (up to 3.5 meters, if the room requires it, but transportation is more difficult).
Cornices: crowning walls and furniture
Cornices in the STAVROS catalog are divided into two categories: ceiling (for the joint of wall and ceiling) and furniture (for the top of wardrobes, chests of drawers, kitchen modules). Ceiling cornices are larger (height 80-200 mm), furniture cornices are smaller (height 50-120 mm), but the profiles are coordinated: if the ceiling cornice has a cavetto and bead, the furniture cornice has the same profile, only scaled down by 0.6-0.8 times.
This consistency is critical for classical interiors. The eye, gliding along the ceiling cornice, reaches the cabinet, sees a familiar profile at its top—and reads the cabinet as part of the architecture. Dissonance (a ceiling cornice with a cavetto, a furniture cornice with a torus) breaks the connection; the cabinet is perceived as a foreign object.
Furniture moldingSTAVROS includes not only cornices but also plinths (lower furniture strips, profiled, echoing baseboards), appliqués (carved elements for facades), and pilasters (vertical half-columns on cabinet corners). All are made from the same solid wood, with the same finish as the interior trim—perfect matching is guaranteed.
Architraves: framing openings
STAVROS architraves come in three formats: flat (rectangular, width 60-100 mm, for minimalism), profiled (with a profile—torus, cavetto, chamfer—for classic styles), and telescopic (expandable, adjustable to wall thickness, convenient for uneven walls).
Architraves coordinate with baseboards and cornices: if the baseboard has a torus, the architrave also has a torus (the same curve, the same proportions). This creates a rhythm: baseboard at the bottom, architrave vertically, cornice at the top—all three elements echo each other, forming a family.
Architraves are installed on interior doors (cover the gap between the frame and the wall, create a frame), on windows (rarely in interior spaces, more often in country houses with wooden windows), and on arches (instead of doors, an arch is framed with an architrave, creating a transition between rooms).
Architrave widths: 60 mm (narrow, for minimalist doors, modern interiors), 80 mm (standard, universal), 100 mm (wide, for classical formal doors). Thickness 10-16 mm (sufficient for strength, not excessive, not weighing down the opening).
Glazing beads: glazing details
A glazing bead is a thin element (cross-section 8×8 mm, 10×10 mm, 12×12 mm, 15×15 mm) that presses the glass against the frame. Glazing beads are used in windows (wooden, not plastic), in doors with glass (interior, display), and in furniture (display cases, cabinets with glass doors, sideboards).
A glazing bead may seem insignificant (thin, modest), but it is visible: it runs along the perimeter of the glass, forming a frame that is seen. If the glazing bead does not match the frame (frame light oak, glazing bead dark beech)—it is noticeable, creates dissonance. If the glazing bead is from the same species, with the same finish—the frame is harmonious, the glass looks integrated, not glued on.
STAVROS produces glazing beads from solid oak, beech, with a finish coordinated with doors, windows, and furniture. Glazing beads are milled with an accuracy of ±0.1 mm (necessary for tight fit to the glass, eliminating gaps, rattling). Glazing bead shape: rectangular (for minimalism), rounded (for classic styles, visually softer), profiled (with chamfer, cavetto, for opulent interiors).
Battens and appliqués: structuring planes
A batten is a narrow strip of rectangular cross-section (width 20-80 mm, thickness 8-20 mm), used to create panels on walls, partitions, ceiling cladding, decorative grilles. An appliqué is a flat strip (width 30-60 mm, thickness 6-10 mm), glued onto furniture facades, doors, walls to create frames, panels.
Battens on walls form panels: vertical and horizontal battens, intersecting, create a grid framing wall sections. Inside the sections are wallpaper, paint, fabric, mirrors—battens organize chaos, turn a wall into an architectural object.
Appliqués on furniture facades create frames: glued along the perimeter of a door, drawer, forming a frame, inside which is the main plane (veneer, solid wood, painted MDF). The appliqué adds relief, structure, turns a flat facade into a three-dimensional one.
STAVROS battens and appliqués are milled from solid oak, beech, sanded, coated with oil or enamel. Batten length: 2.0-3.0 meters (standard, can be joined to create greater lengths). Battens can be smooth (for minimalism) or with milling (groove, protrusion, rounded edge—for decorativeness).
Moldings: universal decor
A molding is a narrow strip with a profile (relief), width 20-100 mm, used for framing panels, doors, mirrors, paintings, for creating friezes under cornices, for decorating furniture. Moldings are universal: they work on walls, ceilings, furniture, doors—anywhere a frame, boundary, or accent is needed.
Molding profiles: simple (quarter-round, half-round, rectangular with chamfer), medium (cavetto, torus, combinations), complex (multi-step, carved, with ornament). The molding profile coordinates with the profile of the baseboard, cornice, architrave—all from the same family of forms.
STAVROS moldings are used in classical interiors to create wall panels (the lower part of the wall divided by moldings into rectangles, with wallpaper or contrasting paint inside), in modern interiors for framing TVs, paintings, mirrors (molding glued along the perimeter, creating a frame), on furniture to create panels on facades (molding forms a frame, inside which is the main plane of the facade).
STAVROS furniture: an extension of architecture
STAVROS furnitureThis is not a separate product line, but part of the overall system of interior elements. Furniture is designed with trim in mind: furniture cornices coordinate with ceiling cornices, furniture plinths with baseboards, facade appliqués with wall moldings. Everything is made from the same solid wood (oak, beech from the same batch of timber), with identical processing (same machines, same craftsmen), identical finish (same stains, enamels, oils).
Classical furniture: tradition and craftsmanship
Classic FurnitureSTAVROS—this is sofas, armchairs, tables, chests of drawers, cabinets, beds, executed in the styles of classicism, neoclassicism, baroque, English. Common features: use of solid wood (oak, beech, ash), carving (hand or CNC with hand finishing), traditional joinery techniques (mortise and tenon joints, inset locks, gluing), noble finish (toning, patination, gilding).
Classical sofas: solid wood frame, carved armrests, curved cabriole legs, upholstery in noble fabrics (velvet, jacquard, silk, genuine leather). The back can be straight (strict classic) or wavy (baroque). The sofa cornice (top rail of the back) is profiled, echoing the ceiling and furniture cornices in the interior.
Dining tables: massive solid wood tabletop (oak, beech, solid laminated panel without knots), carved legs (turned, carved, cabriole), aprons (horizontal rails under the tabletop connecting the legs) with carving or milling. Sizes from small (120x80 cm for 4 persons) to large (240x110 cm for 10-12 persons), extendable options possible (with inserts increasing length by 40-60 cm).
Chests of drawers: low wide cabinets with drawers, central pieces for bedrooms, living rooms. Chest of drawers facades are carved (appliqués, milling, pilasters at corners), cornice at the top (profiled, coordinated with the ceiling), plinth at the bottom (profiled, coordinated with the baseboard), tabletop of solid wood or marble. Drawers with soft-close mechanisms (smooth closing, quiet), bronze handles (cast, patinated).
Cabinets: monumental pieces (height 220-240 cm, width 150-250 cm), dominating a wall. Cabinets with hinged doors (classic, with carved facades, possibly with mirrors), with sliding doors (space-saving, but less formal). The cabinet cornice is large (height 80-120 mm), profiled, echoing the ceiling cornice. The cabinet plinth (height 100-150 mm) echoes the baseboard.
Modern furniture: minimalism with a hint of tradition
STAVROS produces not only classical but also modern furniture: rectilinear, laconic, without excessive decor, but with the quality of solid wood, professional joinery, and noble finish. STAVROS modern furniture is not IKEA from particleboard; it is minimalism from oak, where the form is simple but the material is noble.
Modern tables: rectangular solid wood tabletop (oak, beech, treated with oil, grain visible, emphasized), straight legs (square, rectangular, metal with wooden tabletop). No carving, no curves, but solid oak 40 mm thick, perfectly sanded, coated with oil in 3 layers—this is luxury of a different order, not loud but tangible.
Modern wardrobes: rectangular cases, smooth fronts (no overlays, no carving), hidden handles (integrated into the front, invisible), but solid oak, veneered or painted with matte enamel. Cornice minimalist (rectangular strip, no profile) or absent (wardrobe top is flat), but if there is a cornice, it matches the ceiling cornice (the same minimalist profile).
Modern beds: low headboard (height 80-100 cm from the floor, not from the mattress), rectangular, soft (upholstery fabric or leather, no tufting, smooth) or hard (solid wood, veneer, paint). Bed frame made of solid wood, hidden (does not protrude, mattress lies flush with the frame), legs low or absent (bed stands on a plinth, visually floating).
Custom furniture: individual design
STAVROS produces furniture not in series, but to order: the client chooses the model (from the catalog or provides a sketch), chooses the size (standard or custom for the room), chooses the wood species (oak, beech, ash), chooses the finish (natural wood, tinting, painting, patination, gilding), chooses the upholstery fabric (for upholstered furniture from collections of European manufacturers).
Individual design allows creating furniture that fits perfectly into a specific room. A wardrobe not the standard 200 cm wide, but 237 cm (exactly to fit the wall from the corner to the door). A table not 180 cm long, but 215 cm (for a specific dining room where 180 is too little and 240 is too much). A chest of drawers not 90 cm high, but 105 cm (so that the mirror above it hangs at a convenient height).
Custom finishing allows coordinating furniture with millwork: if the baseboards are tinted with walnut stain, the furniture is tinted with the same stain (color identical). If the cornices are painted with RAL 9001 enamel (creamy white), the furniture is painted with the same enamel (absolute match). If the door casings are oak with oil (natural color), the furniture is made from the same oak with the same oil (texture, shade, gloss — everything identical).
Comprehensive solution: ordering millwork and furniture from one collection
The main advantage of STAVROS is the ability to order everything needed for the interior in one place: millwork (baseboards, cornices, casings, glazing beads, slats, moldings) and furniture (sofas, armchairs, tables, chests of drawers, wardrobes, beds). Everything is made from the same material, by the same craftsmen, with coordination at the design stage.
Perfect color match
Color is a critical parameter. Even a slight difference in shade (baseboard slightly darker than furniture) is noticeable, creates visual discomfort. When millwork and furniture are ordered from different manufacturers, color matching is a lottery. Manufacturer A writes 'natural oak with oil', manufacturer B writes the same, but A's oak is lighter (from a forest in the Voronezh region), B's oak is darker (from a forest in the Krasnodar region), A's oil is Danish (gives a cool shade), B's oil is German (gives a warm shade). Result: baseboards and furniture do not match in color.
STAVROS eliminates this problem: millwork and furniture are produced from the same batch of wood (oak from the same forest plot, sawn, dried, processed together), with the same finish (the same stain from the same can, applied by the same craftsman, the same oil, the same number of coats). Color matches perfectly: place a baseboard next to a chest of drawers front — you won't tell where one ends and the other begins.
If the client wants a painted finish (white, gray, colored enamel), STAVROS paints the millwork and furniture with the same enamel from the same batch (paint is mixed in a tinting machine according to the RAL formula, each batch from the same mix, shade identical). Baseboards, cornices, casings, and furniture come off the same conveyor, from the same painting booth, with the same number of coats (primer + 2 coats of finish enamel), with the same gloss level (matte 5-10 units, semi-matte 20-30, glossy 80-90).
Perfect texture match
Wood texture is unique: each board has its own pattern of annual rings, rays, grain. But within one batch of wood (from the same forest, same tree, same log) the texture is similar: grain direction is the same, annual ring density is close, color transitions are coordinated.
When millwork and furniture are from the same batch of wood (as with STAVROS), the texture is coordinated: the baseboard and furniture plinth look as if sawn from the same board (which often is the case). The door casing and the vertical post of the wardrobe have a similar texture pattern (grain runs in the same direction, annual rings of similar width).
When millwork and furniture are from different manufacturers, textures can clash: baseboard made of oak with wide annual rings (fast-growing tree, southern climate), furniture made of oak with narrow rings (slow-growing, northern climate). Baseboard with vertical texture (radial cut), furniture with horizontal (tangential cut). Texture dissonance disrupts harmony just like color dissonance.
Perfect profile match
Profile — the shape of the cross-section of a millwork element (baseboard, cornice, molding). The profile creates relief, play of light and shadow, recognizability of the element. When profiles are coordinated (baseboard with a torus, cornice with a torus, furniture overlay with a torus), a visual rhyme arises, linking the elements.
STAVROS designs profiles systematically: for each collection (Classic, Modern, Baroque) a family of profiles is developed, where all elements echo each other. Classic collection: baseboard with torus and bead (height 100 mm), cornice with torus and bead (height 120 mm), casing with torus and bead (width 80 mm), molding with torus (width 50 mm), furniture cornice with torus and bead (height 80 mm). All five elements from the same family of forms, different scales, but the same DNA.
When a client orders millwork and furniture from the Classic collection, everything is coordinated automatically: no need to select, compare, worry about matching. STAVROS has already designed a system where baseboards, cornices, casings, and furniture speak the same language of forms.
Process of ordering a comprehensive solution
How to order millwork and furniture from one collection? STAVROS has developed a system that simplifies the process, eliminates errors, guarantees results.
Stage 1: Consultation and collection selection
The client contacts STAVROS (by phone, through the website, visits the showroom in Moscow or St. Petersburg). The STAVROS designer discusses the project: what space is being designed (apartment, house, office), what style (classic, neoclassic, modern, baroque), preferences regarding color, material, budget.
Based on the discussion, the designer suggests a collection: Classic (restrained carving, symmetrical profiles, oak or beech natural or tinted), Baroque (ornate carving, curved forms, gilding, for spacious rooms), Modern (minimalism, straight lines, smooth fronts, oak with oil or painted). The client chooses a collection (or the designer creates a hybrid, combining elements from different collections for a specific project).
Stage 2: Measurements and design
The designer visits the site (within Moscow, St. Petersburg the visit is free, to other cities for an additional fee or the client provides a room plan with dimensions). Takes measurements of the rooms: wall lengths (to calculate linear meters of baseboards, cornices), opening sizes (for casings), ceiling heights, furniture placement (where the wardrobe, chest of drawers, table will stand — to coordinate millwork with furniture).
Based on the measurements, the designer creates a project: room plan with furniture layout, wall sections indicating millwork profiles (baseboard of such height, cornice of such profile, casings of such width), furniture specification (wardrobe of such size, such finish, chest of drawers of such size), estimate (cost of millwork, furniture, installation, delivery).
The project is coordinated with the client: the designer shows 3D visualization (how the interior will look with millwork and furniture), finish samples (millwork strips, furniture fragments with different stains, enamels), fabric catalogs (for upholstered furniture upholstery). The client makes adjustments (change wardrobe size, replace cornice profile, choose a different enamel color), the project is refined, finally approved.
Stage 3: Production
After project approval, STAVROS launches production. Millwork and furniture are produced in parallel (in different workshops, but coordinated), from the same batch of wood, with the same finish.
Molding: Solid oak or beech (from raw material stock, moisture content 8-12%) is fed to CNC milling machines, where profiles (baseboards, cornices, casings, moldings, battens) are cut. The machines are programmed according to project drawings (such-and-such profile, such-and-such length, such-and-such quantity). After milling, the molding is sanded (abrasive grit 120, 180, 240 sequentially, to perfect smoothness), and sent to the painting shop.
Furniture: Solid wood is sent to the carpentry shop, where parts (posts, rails, fronts, tabletops) are cut out, milled (grooves, tenons, profiles are created), and assembled (using mortise and tenon joints, PVA glue, dowels). Carved elements (overlays, cornices, pilasters) are milled on CNC machines and finished by hand (a craftsman removes tool marks and accentuates carving details). The assembled furniture is sanded and sent to the painting shop.
Painting shop: Molding and furniture are painted simultaneously, with the same stain (if tinting) or the same enamel (if painting). Painting is done in climate-controlled spray booths (temperature 22°C, humidity 55%, ensuring even drying, no drips, no dust). Stain is applied with a spray gun, left for 20 minutes, excess is wiped off, and it dries for 12 hours. Oil is applied with a brush, rubbed in, polished, and dries for 24 hours (2-3 coats). Enamel is applied with a spray gun (primer + 2 coats of topcoat enamel), each coat dries for 6-8 hours, is sanded (abrasive 320), then the next coat is applied.
Quality control: Each piece of molding, each furniture item is checked: geometry (no warping, no misalignment), finish quality (color uniformity, no drips, stains, orange peel), functionality (drawers slide smoothly, doors close without gaps). Only after passing inspection are the products packaged and prepared for shipment.
Transporting theatrical decorations requires care. Fragile elements are individually wrapped in bubble wrap, cardboard, and wooden frames. Large-scale structures are disassembled for transport and packed with impact protection.
STAVROS delivers molding and furniture to the site using its own transport (trucks with tail lifts, covered, with furniture securing fixtures to prevent damage during transportation). Delivery within Moscow and St. Petersburg is free (for orders over 300,000 rubles), to other cities in Russia it is paid (calculated individually).
Molding installation: The STAVROS installation crew (no third-party contractors are involved, all are in-house craftsmen) installs baseboards, cornices, and casings. Baseboards are attached with glue + screws (screws are countersunk, filled, sanded, painted — becoming invisible). Cornices are attached with glue + screws (for large cornices, additional brackets are used). Casings are attached with finish nails (headless) or glue. Corner joints are mitered at 45° (using a miter saw, precisely, without gaps), filled, sanded, and painted.
Furniture installation: Furniture is delivered disassembled (large items — wardrobes, beds — do not fit through doors when assembled) and assembled on-site by installers. Wardrobes are set up vertically (checked with a level), secured to the wall (with anchors to prevent tipping), and doors are adjusted (to close without gaps, smoothly). Dressers, tables, and beds are assembled, placed in position, and checked (drawers slide, tabletops are level, the bed doesn't creak).
After installation, the craftsmen clean up debris (packaging, shavings, offcuts), wipe down the furniture and molding (removing dust, fingerprints), show the client the result, and provide care instructions (how to wipe, what not to clean with, when to refresh the oil).
Advantages of the comprehensive solution from STAVROS
Ordering molding and furniture from a single manufacturer offers many advantages that are impossible when purchasing elements from different suppliers.
Guaranteed Match
Color, texture, and profiles match perfectly because everything is from the same batch of material, with identical processing and identical finishing. There is no risk that baseboards will be darker than the furniture, or that the profile of a wardrobe cornice won't match the ceiling cornice. STAVROS controls the entire cycle — from raw material procurement to final finishing — guaranteeing an absolute match.
Time saving
No need to source molding from one manufacturer, furniture from another, coordinate colors and profiles, wait for different production times, or coordinate different deliveries. Everything is ordered from one place, produced in parallel, delivered by one truck, and installed by one crew. Saves the client months of time (no need to visit various factories, showrooms, coordinate molding and furniture separately).
Single Point of Responsibility
If something is wrong (molding doesn't fit, furniture doesn't fit, color doesn't match), STAVROS takes responsibility, not 'molding from manufacturer A, furniture from manufacturer B, who's to blame — unclear.' STAVROS redoes, replaces, or adjusts at its own expense (if it's a production error), promptly, without shifting blame.
Professional design
A STAVROS designer plans the entire interior: molding + furniture + finishes + lighting. They know which molding profile suits the furniture style, which furniture size is proportional to the room, which finish coordinates. The client doesn't need to figure out themselves whether oak baseboards go with beech furniture (they don't, if not tinted the same), or whether the casing profile matches the cornice profile (it does, if both are from the same collection). The designer solves these issues; the client gets a ready, coordinated solution.
Budget Savings
A comprehensive order is cheaper than purchasing elements separately. STAVROS provides a discount on comprehensive orders (molding + furniture): 10% for orders over 500,000 rubles, 15% for orders over 1,000,000 rubles. Delivery is free (for orders over 300,000 rubles), installation with a 20% discount (installing molding and furniture together is cheaper than separately).
Saves not only money but also nerves: no need to worry whether elements will match, if furniture will fit, if molding will suit. STAVROS calculates everything in advance, guarantees the result, and assumes the risks.
Frequently asked questions
Is it mandatory to order molding and furniture together?
No, it's not mandatory. STAVROS sells molding separately (without furniture) and furniture separately (without molding). But a comprehensive order is more advantageous (discounts, coordination, single responsibility, time savings). If you already have furniture (purchased earlier, inherited, antique), you can order only molding, selecting profiles, color, and texture to match the existing furniture. Or vice versa: if molding is already installed, order furniture coordinated with it.
Can I order furniture not from the catalog, but based on my own sketch?
Yes, STAVROS manufactures furniture based on the client's individual sketches. You provide a drawing, photo, or description of the desired furniture, STAVROS technicians create a drawing, coordinate it with you, and manufacture it. Custom design is more expensive (requires development, template making, cutters), production time is longer (6-12 weeks instead of 6-8 for catalog models), but the result is unique.
What is the production time for molding and furniture?
Catalog molding: 1-2 weeks (standard profiles are produced quickly, often in stock). Non-standard molding (custom profile, non-standard length, complex finish): 3-4 weeks.
Catalog furniture: 6-8 weeks (carpentry 3-4 weeks, finishing 2-3 weeks, drying, quality control). Custom furniture: 8-12 weeks (drawing development, template making, production, complex finishing).
Comprehensive order (molding + furniture): Produced in parallel, the timeline is determined by the furniture (6-12 weeks). By the time the furniture is ready, the molding is already ready, everything is shipped together.
Do you deliver to regions of Russia?
Yes, STAVROS delivers throughout Russia. Delivery to Moscow and St. Petersburg is free (for orders over 300,000 rubles). Delivery to other cities: by transport company (the client pays for the TC services, STAVROS packs the cargo, provides documentation, insures it) or by STAVROS's own transport (for large orders, over 1,000,000 rubles, STAVROS can organize delivery with its own truck and installers who will travel, deliver, and install).
Delivery time to regions: 3-10 days (depending on distance). Moscow-Yekaterinburg 3-5 days, Moscow-Novosibirsk 7-10 days, Moscow-Vladivostok 14-20 days.
Do you provide a warranty?
Yes, STAVROS provides a warranty: 2 years on millwork (against cracking, finish peeling, deformation under proper use conditions), 3 years on case furniture (against frame deformation, hardware failure, finish peeling), 1.5 years on upholstered furniture (against frame and spring block failures; upholstery is not covered as its wear depends on use).
The warranty does not cover: mechanical damage (impacts, scratches, cuts), damage from improper use (water damage, placement near heaters or in direct sunlight), normal wear and tear (fading of upholstery, minor scratches from use).
During the warranty period, STAVROS fixes defects free of charge: they come, assess, repair on-site (if possible) or take to the workshop, repair, and return. If repair is impossible (critical defect, element cannot be restored), STAVROS manufactures a new element and replaces it free of charge.
How to care for millwork and solid wood furniture?
Painted millwork (enamel): wipe with a damp cloth (not wet, wrung out), mild detergent (no abrasives, no solvents). Remove stains (spots, hand marks) immediately, do not let them dry.
Oil-finished millwork: wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth, refresh with oil every 2-3 years (apply a thin layer, rub in, polish with a dry cloth). Oil nourishes the wood, enhances the grain, and protects against moisture and dirt.
Solid wood furniture: wipe with a dry cloth (dust removal), avoid direct sunlight (fading, drying out), do not place near radiators or heaters (drying out, cracking). Maintain indoor humidity of 40-60% (optimal for wood, preventing deformation).
Upholstered furniture: vacuum upholstery weekly (soft attachment, remove dust from folds and seams), remove stains immediately (blot, do not rub, use special fabric/leather cleaners), professional upholstery cleaning annually (on-site or at a workshop).
Can the finish of millwork/furniture be changed after manufacturing?
Yes, but with limitations. If millwork/furniture is painted with enamel, it can be repainted a different color: remove old enamel (sanding or stripping), prime, paint with new enamel. Labor-intensive but possible.
If millwork/furniture is oil-finished (natural wood), it can be tinted (apply stain to darken) or painted with enamel (after priming). However, lightening natural wood is impossible (without sanding the top layer, which reduces thickness and may ruin the profile).
If millwork/furniture is tinted (stain + oil), lightening is not possible (stain has penetrated the wood and cannot be removed), it can only be darkened (apply a darker stain) or painted with opaque enamel.
STAVROS performs repainting for an additional fee (depends on complexity: repainting enamel a different color is cheaper than tinting natural wood). But it's easier and cheaper to choose the right finish initially than to redo it later.
How much does a comprehensive solution (millwork + furniture) cost?
Depends on room area, furniture density, millwork complexity, and finish. Approximately for an 80-square-meter apartment (3 rooms + kitchen + hallway):
Minimum millwork (baseboards + simple cornices, door casings): materials + installation 150,000-250,000 rubles.
Minimum furniture (bedroom: bed + 2 nightstands + dresser; living room: sofa + 2 armchairs + coffee table): 400,000-700,000 rubles.
Total minimum: 550,000-950,000 rubles.
Full millwork (baseboards + complex cornices, casings, wall panel moldings, battens): materials + installation 350,000-550,000 rubles.
Full furniture (bedroom + living room + dining room: table + chairs + sideboard; hallway: wardrobe): 800,000-1,500,000 rubles.

Conclusion: A systematic approach to interior design
An interior is not a collection of items bought from different stores. An interior is a system where each element is connected to others, where millwork and furniture speak the same language, where colors match, textures are coordinated, and profiles echo each other. This system does not arise by chance—it is designed, produced, and installed as a whole.
The company STAVROS offers a comprehensive solution:solid wood trim pieces (baseboards, cornices, casings, glazing beads, battens, moldings) and Furniture (classicmodern, baroque) from one collection where everything is coordinated.
STAVROS has been operating since 2005 (over 20 years in the market), produces millwork and furniture using its own facilities (does not resell others' products, controls the entire cycle), uses European-quality oak and beech solid wood (kiln-dried, stable humidity, knot-free), employs professional equipment (German and Italian CNC machines, precision ±0.1 mm), and finishes with eco-friendly materials (Osmo oils, Sayerlack enamels, certified, safe).
STAVROS offers a full range of services: consultation (free, designer visit, project discussion), design (3D visualization, specifications, estimate), production (millwork + furniture in parallel, quality control at every stage), delivery (own transport or logistics company, packaging, insurance), installation (team of installers, millwork installation, furniture assembly, finishing), warranty (2-3 years, free defect correction).
Contact STAVROS for a comprehensive solution for your interior. A designer will visit, take measurements, design an interior with millwork and furniture from one collection, show visualizations, and calculate the cost. The consultation is free and non-binding. After project approval, STAVROS will manufacture everything needed, deliver, install, and hand over the interior ready for living.
In 8-12 weeks after ordering, you will enter a home where baseboards echo furniture plinths, where ceiling cornices repeat cabinet cornices, where door trims coordinate with dresser moldings. Where there is no dissonance, no visual noise, no feeling that elements are random. There is integrity, harmony, a system.

STAVROS creates such interiors. Twenty years of experience, thousands of completed projects, own production, professional craftsmen, quality guarantee.
