Trim: How to Use Crown Molding in Your Home

Crown molding is one of the fixings that are timeless, everybody can do it in their house to bring that fancy atmosphere. Plus, it is easy, doesn’t need many tools, and matches with most houses. However, if you have a modern-style home, a light touch of crown molding is the best option.

Let’s see 5 types of crown molding that we can put in our house.

Crown molding between the wall and the ceiling

The most popular type of crown molding is on the ceiling, at a 45-degree angle between the wall and ceiling. This will bring a fine touch to your house and an elegant look to the whole place.

Dress up cabinet soffits

If you want to give a lovely touch to your kitchen, this is a great option. You can use the cabinet soffit — which is the part from above the cabinet until the ceiling —, and this will give a continuous look to your kitchen. Another idea is to put a strip of crown molding at the top of your cabinet, making some hangers, and this will bring a unique design to your kitchen that can also be used in the bathroom.

Crown molding over the interior doorway

When the doors are installed, usually a wide gap is left between the door and the frame, so you should be asking what to do in this situation. The best solution is to install crown molding there, which will act as a lead-in to the next room that usually has the crown molding as well.

Partial Walls

Here, you can use crown molding in the wall that extends to the top, but in the middle, you have something in between, like a fireplace, a tv, or closets. You can use crown molding to make parapets, and you also can put decorative objects on the top.

Finish the ends of the front door

The crown molding in this area can be used as it is done on kitchen cabinets, to dress up the door until the ceiling. This will bring a fancy and fabulous touch to the entry hall of your home.

After all these options of how to use the crown molding, it is easy to imagine the upgrades to do in your house. So, if you want to do some trim work, contact the Hummingbird team, we can ensure you that you will have the best work.
