Crown Molding Adds Character to Any Room

When finishing or remodeling a room, crown molding is an excellent way to add character and dimension for a relatively low cost.  Historical homes and modern-day mansions both feature detailed decorative crown molding and trim to enhance the appearance of the rooms.  If you’re looking for a way to dress up your living space and give it a refined personal touch, consider installing crown molding in your rooms for instant style.

Why Is Crown Molding So Popular? 

More and more home owners are adding crown molding to the list of “must haves” for any home renovations.  They know that adding molding around the top of a room is a simple, easy to install way to add classic appeal to any room.  With a wide range of styles available, you can change the style of any room dramatically just by changing the molding.

An art deco room might feature decorative crown molding that features sharp angles and clean lines, while a more traditional room might be highlighted with some lovely molding with oak leaves or a floral pattern.  Using an elaborate style of crown molding with ornate detail will add elegance and sophistication to a dining room or formal living room. 

Crown molding and trim around the doors and windows of a room adds character and architectural detail to a room that would otherwise be a plain box, devoid of any permanent features to distinguish it from thousands of other rooms just like it. 

Choosing the Right Crown Molding for Your Home. 

When you buy crown molding, you’ll discover hundreds of styles to choose from, so it’s best to have an idea of what you want before you begin shopping.  Although your final choice for crown molding and trim will be based on your personal taste, there are some guidelines that will help you narrow down the choices:

—       Look to the architecture and style of your home.  If you have a Colonial style home, you’ll want to stick with more traditional styles.  A Victorian home can easily support an elaborately detailed, highly ornamental crown moulding.

—       Keep scale in mind.  If the room is large with high ceilings, you can experiment with deep (wide) crown moldings that play up the spaciousness of the room and add an impressive sense of weight to the walls and ceilings.  In a smaller room or one with low ceilings, stick to more delicate crown molding and trim.  You want your crown molding to enhance the room, not overpower it.

—       Keep in mind how you are going to finish your crown molding.  Will you use a crisp, white paint or go for a more dramatic approach?  If you intend on using two or more colors, look for crown moulding that can be painted or glazed easily and will look wonderful.

—       Match the style and scale of your crown molding to the baseboards, window casings and door casings.  It can be jarring to have slender door casings and window casings paired with deeply carved, ornate crown molding.  If you want to introduce new crown moldings, consider replacing the casings and baseboards as well to achieve a cohesive look.
