If you’ve done research on crown molding before, you may know that it’s a great addition to people’s homes due to the boost in appearance it can provide for your home’s interior. Recently, how this molding is utilized has changed in response to modern trends. Let’s take a look at a few modern trends that’ve been going around focusing on crown molding.
Baseboard Styles
While crown molding is traditionally used on people’s door frames and walls, that doesn’t mean it can’t go anywhere else. In fact, you can install it onto your baseboards as well. Baseboard styles tend to be pretty simple, and they can be accented with a semi-circular type of trim.
Beautiful Patterns
This might seem odd to see as a modern trend, given that crown molding already has an elegant appearance to it. In modern times, however, crown molding comes in many more styles than it did before. This means you don’t have to have an old-fashioned look, and you can instead have a more customized style of molding for your home.
Lighted Moldings
Do you want a little extra lighting in your home? If so, you could consider getting lighted molding installed today. These types of molding systems provide a soft glow to the various rooms of your house. They are made up of a lower and upper portion. The lower part directs light upwards, which ends up illuminating the top part.
Curvature
While crown molding is often used in rectangular rooms, that isn’t the only option you have. You could get molding that’s made from flexible polyurethane. By getting molding made from this material, you’ll be able to install your molding, even if you’re putting it in a curved room.
Removable Crown Molding
Did you know that you could also install hollow PVC molding in your house. This is a great option if you ever decide to run some new wiring around your house, but you don’t want to do any damage to your home’s walls in the process.
