Popular Paint Color Choices for Crown Molding
Posted on April 12, 2023
Your home is your retreat, your oasis. You take such pride in its beauty and comfort, and the details built into its structure add to its elegance. Perhaps you are building a new house, or maybe you’re updating the color scheme. Most homes have a considerable amount of trim, windows and doors, baseboards, crown molding meeting the ceilings, and perhaps a fireplace mantel. Choosing colors for walls, ceilings, and crown molding should be carefully considered because you desire a pleasing aesthetic and uniformity with the overall finish.
Some of the most popular color choices for crown molding include:
- White: It is a safe choice that looks crisp and clean. It usually matches the ceiling and brightens the room. When paired with a darker color, wall, or ceiling, it creates a stark contrast effect.
- White/Black: White walls with black trim and black walls with white molding are on trend. The contrast creates a strong visual effect and sharp lines.
- Gray: Gray molding looks great with virtually any color wall. It is a standard neutral, and the darker shades of gray act like black but are more subtle. Gray and white is a very popular coastal trend.
- Blue: Whether navy blue to softer cornflower and sky blue hues, blues are popular and create a cozy ambience.
- Natural Wood: If you’re installing new crown molding, the natural wood may not need anything done to it beforehand. However, sometimes a simple stain will really bring out the beauty of the natural grain and texture of the wood. The effect of natural wood for trim in a home is remarkable.
