Here are some myths about crown molding that you might hear.
Crown molding can be a fantastic investment for people’s homes. It can be used to add some extra elegance to any room that has it. With that said, there are some misconceptions about molding that can discourage people from purchasing it for themselves. We want to clear up these misconceptions with you today. Here are some myths about crown molding that you might hear.
“Crown Molding Can’t Work With Low Ceilings”
Perhaps there are people who don’t think they can get crown molding because their ceilings are too low for the installation. Fortunately, there are actually molding options that work well with low ceilings. Some molding options actually project further than what your wall can do, as part of an optical illusion that they show. This way, you can make smaller spaces appear more grandiose.
“Even Flimsy Crown Molding Can Improve Home Value”
Some people like to add molding to their homes so that they can raise their overall home value. This can be achieved when you invest in high-quality molding, but some might think that even the lower-quality options would serve to raise the value of a house.
This is not the case, as lower-quality molding lacks visual appeal, and it can suffer from poor construction. That’s why you should only let trustworthy molding companies perform your installation for you.
“White is the Only Suitable Color for Crown Molding”
While white is a popular, and perfectly viable, color option for crown molding, it’s not the only color that’s available to you. Molding companies offer molding in a wide range of colors. When getting molding for a room in your home, it’s good to consult with a professional to determine what color would best suit the aesthetic of that room.
“All Moldings in Your Home Need to Be the Same Style”
There’s nothing wrong with having matching themes in your home. We only mean to say that the moldings in your home don’t have to match in order to promote beauty. The stylistic preferences of each room might vary. The only aspect of molding that you’ll want to keep consistent is its size. This way, you maintain the same visual proportions throughout your house.
