To follow up the last blog about wainscoting, lets investigate crown moldings. When adding any trim to a room you must always take the scale into consideration. If you have a large room with high ceilings you can use larger pieces and even stack the pieces to create a very custom and highly dramatic result. Make sure the molding fits the style of the space and home. Also know when and where not to use moldings.
If you have the average height ceilings you’ll want to use a more simple trim. One that fits the house and draws your attention upward would work well. You also want to make sure it won’t make the ceiling appear too low. If that’s the case, don’t use crown molding. You can dress the space in other ways.
