Crown Moulding

Crown moulding is a decorative piece used to outline the lining of a ceiling. Crown mouldings are usually made of wood or a resin material and are one of the most popular choices when it comes to adding architectural decoration. This is because adding a crown moulding is not only affordable, but also makes an instant and stunning visible improvement to any room whether it be inside or out. While there are many kinds of crown mouldings they are all going to add appeal. Crown moulding is brilliant in transitioning your wall to your ceiling.

Before we get too ahead of ourselves lets first define what crown moulding is. It is what they call a cornice. What the heck is a cornice? Simply put it is a horizontally projecting feature surmounting a wall that is used for dividing it horizontally for compositional purposes. Now, the key word here is horizontal, meaning that a crown moulding goes left to right at the top of the ceiling. Crown mouldings or other cornices have been used for thousands of years. All the way back to ancient Greece from what I have come to find out. Back then it was not only used for decoration, but also for structural purposes. Now, the use of crown mouldings have since carried over through the years as a bold visual architectural accent. To this day when you walk into a room with a nice crown moulding it almost instantly catches your eye. So it is no wonder that the use of crown mouldings lasted thousands of years.
