How to Make Ceiling Corners More Interesting

Crown molding has ebbed and flowed throughout the years. Some design styles demand elaborate and detailed molding, while others are more subtle. But no matter what your client is seeking when it comes to accenting their home’s style, custom ceiling molding can be creatively crafted to suit their tastes.

Instead of letting your ceiling corners be an extension of the run and then joint mitered to fit, install crown corner blocks and jazz the space up.

So often ceiling corners are simply an extension of the run and then joint mitered to fit. But it’s easy to install crown corner blocks and jazz the space up. First it’s important to ensure the molding is correctly sized for the room. Ceilings 10 feet or higher require a very wide molding in order to make a visual impact. General rule of thumb in rooms with high ceilings is the molding needs to be one inch wide for every foot of ceiling height. Don’t hesitate to combine different types of molding. Mix flat patterned trim with more detailed ornate corner blocks. Or use custom molding to create interesting corners by layering decorative narrow trim below the corner cut. Then while crown and baseboard molding doesn’t have to match, make sure both are visually proportionate. Searching for the perfect architectural carved wood molding?
