Use crown molding as a visual point of interest where your ceilings meet your walls. 

Use Baseboards, Crown, and Moldings to Define Spaces

The open-concept floor plan is a functional one, especially for families. But it’s difficult to define separate areas while maintaining the flow or continuity of the space. Crown molding along the ceilings, baseboards, and molding to separate and define help create visual boundaries in an open floor plan. 

Show Off Windows and Doors

They are typically high-traffic areas, and by framing with molding and installing baseboards, you keep scuffs and dirty fingerprints from destroying your walls. Paint your moldings and baseboards with special easy-clean paint for quick cleanups. 

Details

Hide Those Imperfections

Do you have gaps between your wall and flooring? Baseboards can help conceal that imperfection. Is your ceiling line inconsistent, or are there uneven corners? Crown molding to the rescue. And crown molding provides a finished look to any room. 

Frame Built-Ins

Does your home have custom-built-ins such as bookshelves, cabinets, or a fireplace surround that you absolutely love and want to show off?

Use Color for More Definition
