Today, a house is much more than a place to sleep. Due to the coronavirus, the houses are now used for offices, schools and gyms. Are you satisfied with the overall look and tone of your home, especially now that you spend a lot of time at home? Paint, furniture, and decor can help enhance the style of your home, but so can crown molding. By adding trim along your ceilings, floors, and doors, you can add depth and uniqueness to any room. Consider crown molding or crown molding to elevate your home. Or, if you have a modern home and want to forgo trim for a sleek, flat look, there are other architectural elements that you can add to turn heads. Read below for a complete guide to the different types of trim and their benefits.

Crown molding styles

You can add trim to almost any area in a room, from ceiling to floor and areas in between. Some trim styles will work anywhere, while others are designed to fit a specific space. These are the most popular types of trim:

ï ?? Ceiling molding – As the name implies, crown molding crowns a room when placed at the junction between the ceiling and the wall. Styles can range from simple framing to elaborate, ornate designs. For elaborate designs, it is best to consult and work with a professional to ensure that the wood is cut and installed correctly.

ï ?? § Casing: this type of molding is used to hide the spaces between the wall and the door or window frame. The siding around the doors also adds stabilization to the opening, which is why this type of trim brings great benefits to your home. It is important to remember that the casing and baseboard frame must match to give the rooms in your home a cohesive look.

• Skirting boards – Skirting boards, along with the casing, are the most common types of trim. The base frames fill the space between the wall and the floor and protect your walls from scratches from shoes, while hiding any gaps between the walls and the floor that may occur over time. For aesthetic reasons, you can choose narrow or wide baseboards, depending on the desired “look” for a particular room.

ï ?? § Chair Rails – Chair Rails, which serve as both protection and decorative trim, are built roughly in the middle of a wall to protect the wall from scratches caused by furniture. There are a variety of options for adding chair rails to rooms in your home. You can paint the walls above or below the chair panels in different colors, cover half the wall with wood, or cover part of the wall with wallpaper. The main benefit of chair rail trim is that it can repair only part of the wall if it is damaged by furniture.

ï ?? § Medallions – Typically used to hide the opening through which lighting fixtures hang, medallions are ornate decorative moldings that are installed on ceilings. Ceiling medallions tend to be easy to install and come in a variety of designs and styles to suit your decorative needs.

Crown molding is one of the architectural features that can really add value to your home, no matter what type of home you live in. Optimize your living space in a sanctuary by adding different architectural elements.
