interior trim / crown molding

happyday321

followup question re: interior trim. We will have 10 foot ceilings in the foyer / dining room / living room. I love the look of very thick substantial crown molding and baseboards, as seem to be the case in older houses, but I am having a hard time picturing what size really would do that.

In my mind, the bigger the molding the better, but is there a maximum height that you think it can be before it starts to look ridiculous?

    These are usually "built-up" moldings. Go to your lumber yard and get several samples and put them together to see what you like. Just don't go overboard - these gigantic crown moldings can look really "off" in a modern house, regardless of the height of the ceiling.

      Pensacola, what height trim do you have for the crown and baseboards?

      any pictures you have would be helpful!

      We are in the very beginning stages of planning a new build so I cannot offer any real info. I did try to Google "10' ceilings and kitchen cabinets" and got some good info. First floor of the house will have 10' ceilings and the second floor at 9'. Wish I could help you, just glad to find this posting.

      I am working on a home now with 10' ceilings. We are using a 3 piece crown made up of a 4" decorative crown at the top, a 2" flat center piece and a 2" decorative molding at the bottom. If you search for '3 piece crown moldings' you'll see a lot of images like this below, and should get a sense of scale.

      StudioDInteriors...that 3 piece crown looks nice. Would it work in most homes or just homes that are fairly formal?

      It can be used in a transitional or more traditional space, but does not mean it has to be 'formal'. The house I'm currently using it in has a Hamptons (NY), beachy vibe, with a dressed up feel. Very livable, bright and airy. All depends on how you style it with furniture window treatments etc.
