Crown Molding 101
When you choose semi-custom cabinets, you have a lot of details you can choose from. From the layout, door styles, finishes, and more! Every detail you choose for your cabinet construction plays a part in your overall look and feel of your new kitchen. If you’re looking for a way to add a decorative element to your cabinets, consider adding crown molding. Read on to learn more about crown molding in your kitchen!
In addition to the crown molding style, you will need to decide the height of your crown molding. Large rooms can typically handle a taller crown molding but if you have lower ceilings, a shorter molding may work better to avoid overpowering the room.
What is Crown Molding?
Crown molding is a generic term for molding that crowns a surface or structure. Crown molding is typically used as a decorative element to add dimension and draw your eye upward. Crown Molding can be found all throughout your home - not just on cabinets. Crown molding can be found on the tops of cabinets, on furniture, or at the tops of your wall and ceiling. Though crown molding is typically used as a decorative element, it can have practical application to cover the space between the wall and ceiling above your cabinetry.Crown Molding Design Rules
There aren't necessarily any hard rules when it comes to installing crown molding on the tops of your cabinets as to whether or not you should or should not have crown molding on your cabinets. Typically, traditional and transitional cabinet styles will include crown molding while contemporary or modern designs consist of clean lines so crown molding is typically not included. However, at the end of the day, it's your personal design preferences that dictate whether or not to include crown molding.Choosing Your Crown Molding Style
There are endless styles to choose from when it comes to crown molding. From simple designs to curves, and more details you have options. Generally, you will choose your crown molding based on the cabinet style you choose. If your door styles are more detailed, go with a more detailed crown molding for a luxury feel. If you're going with a more simple cabinet style, a simple crown molding would be appropriate.
In addition to the crown molding style, you will need to decide the height of your crown molding. Large rooms can typically handle a taller crown molding but if you have lower ceilings, a shorter molding may work better to avoid overpowering the room.
