This includes answering your questions about home repairs, maintenance, and improvements. Here are answers to some of your most frequently asked questions about crown molding services:

What is the purpose of crown molding?

These days, crown molding is largely decorative, but it was historically used to hide the imperfections or gaps where the wall and ceiling meet. Today it’s more about adding architectural character and visual interest. Crown molding can make a space feel more upscale and can even create the illusion of higher ceilings, giving a room a more open and airy feel. It’s also versatile, coming in various styles and sizes to match different interior design aesthetics.

What is crown molding on a wall called?

Crown molding on a wall is sometimes called cornice molding, especially in more traditional or formal designs. Both crown molding and cornice molding refer to that same elegant detail that smooths out where the wall meets the ceiling, adding a touch of style to any room.

How to attach crown molding to a drywall?

To attach crown molding to drywall, start by measuring the walls and cutting your molding pieces to size with a miter saw, ensuring the corners meet neatly. Apply a bead of construction adhesive along the back of the molding where it will touch the wall and ceiling. Press the molding into place and hold it steady while you use a nail gun or hammer to drive finishing nails through the molding into the wall studs for extra support.

Be sure to countersink the nails slightly. This will allow you to fill the holes with wood filler for a smooth finish. Finally, caulk along the edges to hide any gaps, then paint or stain the molding to match your room’s look. Taking care during the crown molding installation process can help you avoid drywall repairs down the line.

Can crown molding be attached to drywall without using nails?

Crown molding can be attached without nails if you use a strong adhesive that’s designed for molding installation. This can be especially useful with lighter crown molding pieces. For heavier sections, a combination of strong adhesive and countersunk nails will add extra stability.

What is the difference between crown molding and regular molding?

The difference lies in their placement and purpose. Crown molding is specifically designed to be installed at the junction where the walls meet the ceiling, adding a decorative transition that gives a room a more finished and elegant look. It often has an angled profile that fits snugly into the corner, creating a smooth, curved transition between surfaces.

Regular molding (like baseboards, chair rails, or casing) is used in other parts of the room—such as around doors and windows, along the base of walls, or at the midpoint of walls to add visual interest or protect surfaces. While both types of molding serve to enhance the room's aesthetics, crown molding is more about highlighting the ceiling, whereas regular molding serves various functional and decorative roles throughout a space.
