Should I put in crown molding?
Comments (7)We don't have very high ceilings (I think 8') in our dining room and I still think our moulding looks nice. We did stay away from the wider moulding - I think ours is 3 or 4 inches wide - because of the smaller scale. I don't think you have to have crown moulding when the wall color isn't the same as the ceiling, though. It would still be fine to do two different colors if you didn't have moulding. What kind of window treatments will you have? Depending on your treatments, it might look fine to have moulding on the section of the fourth wall that doesn't have windows. Or you could put some kind of cornice over the top part of the window....See MoreCrown/Trim help, please?!
Comments (8)We're just finishing up our kitchen with a similar situation. We did not put the crown between the cabs over the sink. We left it plain and it actually looks really nice, clean and simple. We replaced the recessed can over the sink with a pendant that matches the chandelier over the table, and it is the focal point of that area. We also put it on a dimmer and it is now our night light as well. I love it! We are not putting any valence or window treatment on the window at all....See MoreMillwork and crown molding
Comments (2)If you are going to add curtains any molding you put around the windows will be wasted. Curtains will hide everything except the stool and the apron at the bottom of the window. Crown molding is worth the expense. The simple GRID PANELING shown in your link can be done by attaching 1/4" or 5/16" plywood to the wall then putting 1x4s in a grid pattern over that. I would only do one wall as an accent to see whether the style fits your home. Maybe the wall behind the TV, though such paneling might be better in a dining room....See MoreCurtains below or in front of crown molding?
Comments (14)@brensmum, my room is 13'x15.5' I'm leaning towards having my curtains go only around the window (extending 12-18" past each side) rather than the whole room since the molding prevents the curtains from reaching the very edge of the wall (5" away) and also I think the off-centered window will look weird, creating an un-symetrical effect either in curtain width or spacing from the windows....See MoreAngela Simmons
