A way to enhance your interior using molding
If you think that you are stuck with whatever interior you have in your home unless you opt for major reconstruction, you are wrong. There is a way to make the overall room look bigger, smaller, make the ceilings look shorter or taller. Usually, for a comfortable room, a desirable look is a bigger room with taller ceilings. We have a few tricks that are hardly time-consuming and are very rewarding in what they accomplish for the overall look of the room.
Reversible Crown Molding For Low Ceilings
A great way to make any ceiling look taller is the reversible molding. The essential and curious part of it is to figure out how this particular crown molding should be used to complement your walls. If you have lower ceilings, then the smaller side of the molding should be placed along the wall, and the longer side should be placed on the ceiling.
I had experienced a massive problem with my ceilings because they were way too low for my liking - it always felt as if I was trying to fit into a dollhouse. I realized that I do not have to bother with the seeming unpleasant situation. After installing the moldings, my house seemed completely different. The stuffy and cramped atmosphere was finally put to rest!
Reversible Molding for High Ceiling
If you have high ceilings, then the molding should be placed with the larger side on the wall and the shorter side on the ceiling. It is a great way to draw the eye to the tall ceiling without the molding detail getting lost. It is usually better when the ceilings are taller but do not think that you are getting off easy - no matter what, you still have to put quite a bit of thought into the way space is handled. The molding design is also specially made to be reversed since the design itself has a similar effect on the interior of the home.
A rather classic molding to go for is the Winfield cove molding which has rather simple tiered edges that goes easy on the decorative elements. If you would like to have a molding that makes more of an impact onto your home, then something that is a bit more ornate such as the Savannah crown molding could be used in your design. For an even more noticeable impact, you could go utilize the Montgomery molding.
