Find the Right Crown Molding for Your Home or Business
No matter what type of project you have, we have the crown molding to make it work. From ceilings to topping cabinets, and as accents both indoors and outside, we’re ready to help you find the right moulding option to match your needs.
Here’s some more information on each type of crown molding, including the installation methods and some ideas for where you may want to use it. This way you can feel confident you have the right crown molding for your project or client’s needs.
Styrofoam Crown Molding
Styrofoam crown moldings are lightweight, making them easy to cut, handle and install, great for your DIY projects. It’s a product line loved by our customers as an affordable alternative to wood molding. Unlike wood and plaster, styrofoam doesn’t warp or crack, making it a long-lasting and budget-friendly solution for your ceilings and cabinets.
Styrofoam is the perfect material to add crown molding to cabinets, furniture like bookshelves, and as accents on columns. It is an easy and stunning way to trim ceilings in living and dining rooms, hallways, and other places you’d like to add a decorative element.
Hard Foam Crown Molding
Hard foam crown molding is made from polyurethane, resisting moisture better than wood or plaster, and is a bit denser and stronger than styrofoam. This durability makes it the perfect crown molding for bathrooms, kitchens, basements and other high-humidity and high traffic rooms. It’s a popular choice among more experienced DIYers and contractors, as the density can be a bit tricky for a DIYer.
This type of crown molding works great for outdoor spaces like a ceiling trim for an open veranda where you entertain, lining the ceiling or creating a border for a hotel with a porch, and inside a kitchen, laundry room, or spa where moisture comes out from the steam room or humidifiers.
Hand Painted Crown Molding
Hand-painted crown molding is made from durable polyurethane and hand-decorated by professional artists, adding a luxury finishing touch to your decorative ceiling.
Like the hard-foam crown moldings, they are moisture-resistant, making them great for bathrooms, kitchens and hallways. For outdoor use, a sealer coat can be added for extra protection, making it ideal for patios, verandas and covered porches where you want something a bit more high-end.
DIY Crown Molding
While all of our crown moldings are DIY-friendly, each DIY Crown Molding from Creative Crown has an innovative flat back that sits flush on the wall and is designed for an easy one-person installation.
Made from lightweight styrofoam, these moldings are easy to handle, to cut and to install, all you need is a good adhesive. This collection suits modern and classic homes, with their simple and elegant designs. It’s the perfect product for a quick refresh, whether it’s in a bedroom, a powder room, a hallway, or for adding an adornment on top of kitchen cabinets or a bookcase.
Crown Molding for Vaulted Ceilings
If you have been struggling to find crown molding with a larger angle than the standard size, look no more. Crown moldings for vaulted ceilings are designed with a special angle for cathedral, sloped and vaulted ceilings up to 135 degrees. They are lightweight, easy to install and designed for DIY projects.
Finishing Accessories
For a finished and polished look and to make installation easier, complete your crown molding with pre-cut corners or corner blocks. Available in both styrofoam or polyurethane, we have simple and minimalist or highly decorative options to suit your style and both inside or outside corners to suit your room’s layout.

A Kitchen and Dining Room Make-over
The DIY Foam Crown Molding was used in a modern traditional style living room, dining room and kitchen, bringing the three areas together in a large open-space. Made from lightweight styrofoam, it is durable and long-lasting, and the flat back design makes it easy to install.
At 8 inches wide, this molding is one of the larger ones we sell, yet it doesn’t overpower the other elements in the room. The customer paired it well with the wooden floors, light blue walls, brown leather furniture and shaker-style cabinets, resulting in a calm and relaxing interior, perfect for a lake house!
As he is very happy with the process and result, he wants to use it in his bedrooms and bathrooms as well. more here
Crown Molding For Inside and Outside
Polyurethane is highly moisture-resistant, working well in wet areas and outdoor covered areas, where humidity and temperature change are common. We have a great example here, our Hand Painted Crown Molding - #CMF-026 was used both inside and on the outside patios, creating luxurious and thoughtful outdoor spaces. more here

Hand Painted Crown Molding - #CMF-010 was used in this project to add details to a monotone shelving by bringing in colors and patterns. It also makes it look built-in and custom-made, rather than just a piece of furniture. more here
