What Size of Crown Moulding is Appropriate
Saturday, June 7th, 2008An often asked question is , what size of crown moulding should I use in my living room? Our general rule of thumb on remodeling projects is:
- 7 foot ceiling – 3″ or smaller
- 8 foot ceiling – 3″- 4″
- 9 foot ceiling – 4″ – 5″
- 10 foot ceiling – 6″
- 17 foot ceiling – 8″ or larger
Smaller than these guidelines and the crown moulding appears out of proportion. Where as, using crown moulding larger than these guide lines risks looking gaudy.
