Finish your Ceiling with Hand-Painted Crown Molding
Crown molding does not have to be boring. Hand-painted styles with glossy shines help it stand out by drawing attention to ornate ceilings inside and interest trim or fretwork outside. For an elegant way to enhance real tin or copper ceiling tiles, low-luster painted crown moldings add a complementary hue that enhances the tile’s natural brilliance while creating a visible divide from the wall color.
Each hand-painted crown molding is available in low luster for a softer and more neutral look, or a high gloss finish, allowing it to stand out and shine. Low-luster is the most common choice for everyday spaces like living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and dining rooms, when you want the molding to match the ceiling. High gloss is the right choice when you want to highlight the contrasts between the crown molding and the ceiling and wall, or want to make it a statement of its own. It works well in formal dining rooms, powder rooms, and rooms with higher ceilings for a bigger impact.
They work great on both interiors and exteriors, making them perfect for indoor use in hallways, dining rooms, and even bathrooms, or outside on a patio or veranda where you want something a little more decorative and high-end. Just make sure to select “exterior” on the product page, as an extra sealer coat is applied for extra protection and durability.
Hand Painted Crown Molding in Real Life
For many homeowners and business owners, hand-painted crown molding was the detail that made a huge difference by bringing all the different elements in the room together. Here are a few real examples showing some great results.
Spa bathroom at home
This bathroom makes quite the impression with its bold, luxurious and classy combination of the hand-painted crown molding #CMF-035-2 in Antique Bronze to match La Scala faux-tin ceiling tile in Antique Gold. While the ceiling is quite rich and ornate with its dark and decorative ceiling tiles, it’s balanced by warmer and more neutral walls and wall tiles. Some elements match the ceiling, including the dark cabinetry, the mirrors and the bath, resulting in a well-balanced and spa-like bathroom. more here
Bringing the indoors out
In this project, the same hand-painted crown molding #CMF-026 is used on the ceiling inside and continues to the covered areas outside as a way to carry the ambience and experience throughout the entire space. It contrasts perfectly against the light walls and ceiling with its Antique Bronze, Olympic Gold, and Antique Copper colors. Instead of the exterior feeling like a separate space. It was an easy and affordable way to add luxury to outdoor areas that would normally feel a bit plain and overlooked. more here
Moody bar
The hand-painted crown molding #CMF-010 is used to finish off the back bar shelving, adding details and a custom finish that pairs nicely with the moody atmosphere. The Antique Bronze and Olympic Gold colors add texture and movement to the monotone shelving, breaking up the straight lines and solid black background. This is a great example showing that crown molding doesn’t have to be used only on the ceiling.
If you’re not a big fan of black, the brass finish also pairs extremely well with deep colors like royal blues and forest greens for an earthy and rich or gem tone color palette. more here
