Those blank and barren walls can be improved upon by adding a decorative border trim around the ceiling. There are a whole lot of options for you to pick from and each room can have its own style of molding to suit your needs or desires. Let us take a walk through a home and think about how each room can be improved upon by adding a little crown molding to brighten things up. First on our list is:
The Bedroom
The bedroom is your private space. It is that quiet corner of the house where you can go to read quietly while sitting on your bed. It is where you go to sleep every night and while you are lying there, what are you looking right at? The ceiling. Ceilings are pretty empty and dull in most cases. The most you ever have up there is usually nice light fixture which adds a little extra to the room, but what could really spruce up you overhead view? Crown molding could. It is a colorful way to bring attention to the walls of your room as well as to the ceiling. Crown molding can add a dash of elegance to your private sanctuary and give the room a feel of beauty and wonder. You are probably thinking, but it’s just a bedroom. This is true, it is, but it can also be a much more inviting place. You don’t want to have to lock away the bedroom in the back of the house when guests come over. With crown molding, you can feel confidant to bring others into your bedroom.
The Bathroom
The bathroom is another room that is typically private, but it is accessed by others outside of you more often than the bedroom. Crown molding in the bathroom can give it an old-fashioned feeling with an air of sophistication. Just because it is a bathroom does not mean it needs to look boring. The fact is, you can utilize different shapes and colors to change the mood or feeling of any particular room you want and the added accent to the colors of your bathroom can make it more inviting.

Crown molding can lend to a pleasant atmosphere of your central hub. You can use it to make your kitchen feel leaps and bounds above the rest.
The Living Room
The sitting room, or the living room as it is known today, is also a very social room. In the past it was the place where a family would go and sit by the television and eat dinner. Perhaps they would sit around watching a movie together. Whatever the reasons it was a place that was often frequented by people.
