Here are the factors to consider when picking out a crown molding color for your home.
If you have crown molding around your house, there’s a lot that goes into the look of your molding. One factor that affects your molding’s look is its color, and considering how many color options are available to you, deciding on a color can be a real challenge. That’s why you need to keep many things in mind when deciding on this color. Here are the factors to consider when picking out a crown molding color for your home.
Room Size
Typically, when it comes to molding color, the size of the room in which you install it plays a huge role. Smaller rooms tend to feel more cramped, but you can make the space appear larger by picking a lighter color for your crown molding.
For larger rooms, you might consider the opposite approach. While bigger rooms aren’t as cramped, you could go with a darker color in order to help the room feel cozier.
Floor Color
When picking out a molding color, it should be a color that goes well with the color of your floor. Generally, we wouldn’t recommend using the exact same color for both your crown molding and your floor. Instead, we believe that your crown molding should be a single shade darker than the color of your floor. As an alternative, your molding color could contrast with the colors of your walls and flooring. This helps your crown molding to stand out much more.
Personal Preference
Ultimately, it’s your own home, so you should be happy with whatever color you end up getting. Do you want a color that matches everything else in your room? Perhaps you’re someone who wants a contrasting color for your crown molding. By getting your design preferences known, it becomes easier to decide on a molding color that suits your aesthetic tastes. We recommend working with a crown molding installation company if you’re unsure of what color to pick. Professionals have a knack for helping customers make design decisions that work best with their personal preferences.
