“Old is Gold” – You must be very familiar with this phrase that is indeed true. With the emerging trends in architecture and interior decorations around the globe, homeowners tend to be updated with the latest trends and styles that make their homes stand out among their peers. But what in some cases wins the eyes is when an age-old ancient fad gets some modern twist.
Yes, one such timeless trend in housing architecture is the Crown Molding. This trend dates back to the Greeks where they had used stones to style their living atmospheres. Later, the trend of using PoP and foam has emerged whereas now, the dreamy homeowners incorporate plush materials like polyurethane. By now, you must have got an idea of this style if you are dreaming of having an abode and aiming to style it no less than a plush space.
This classy and inexpensive line of trim that runs along your ceilings can give your home that killer appearance you have craved for. Provided when done flawlessly.
Where can it suit the best?
Any room you just wanted! Of course yeah, but the moldings should match up to your ceilings and the walls. Crown molding is like vaulted ceilings for a common man’s dream home. Living rooms, dining halls, sitting areas can be turned into elegant spaces with seamless crown moldings. Whereas, their incorporation into bedrooms can be optional.
Why So Necessary?
Crown molding is a smart way of making your foyer or room complete giving it a finished and classy appearance. This sort of architectural attraction will also not break your bank either. If you choose to rely on the PoP ceiling for your home or living room, incorporating crown molding is the easiest way to add more attraction to your ceilings as well.
Wider or Smaller?
There is a rule of thumb about the height of the ceilings related to the width of the molding according to professional architects. It goes like this: The higher the ceilings, the wider can be your crown moldings. Yes, you can play with the moldings giving them 6 to 7-inch widths and different layers as well.
Paint and Play
Although white is unbeatable color when it comes to painting your crown moldings, playing with other subtle and basic shades can yield a sophisticated look to your entry foyers. Contrasting with the wall colors is always a clever move to make. This actually can define your room.
Sometimes, painting the same tints but in two different shades would give an edgy appearance. For example, coloring your walls in dark beige and painting the ceiling with a lighter shade of beige. These two variations stand out with the addition of a white molding.
Motifs or Plain
It is recommended to choose motifs instead of plain moldings as they give a high-class touch to the walls and the whole room.
Materials?
As mentioned earlier, myriad varieties of materials are on the market to choose from. It depends on the shape of your rooms and the number of cuts and curves the moldings need. For instance, Flex moldings are apt for rooms with more number of curves. PVC, wood, and polyurethane are other variations to choose from.
Consult a professional and bring home the best suitable moldings that only elevate your home’s grandeur.
