One of the best ways to add some drama and sophistication to your home is to highlight the existing architectural features. We always recommend that clients include the crown molding when we are developing faux finishes for the walls. It draws the eyes upward and completes the line of the room.
In addition to crown molding, don’t forget to give consideration to these fabulous features as well:
Fireplaces
ceiling domes
ceiling medallions, columns and capitols
niches
These surfaces take on a new life when a little color and texture is added with a professional faux finish.
If you are building or remodeling, Cast Designs is an excellent resource for ideas and inspiration for architectural enhancements for your new space. They created all the cast designs in our pictures above. Nothing adds value to a home like deep crown molding, a beautiful fireplace and original cast architectural products. Break out from the pack, take it a step further and bathe your beautiful architecture in a one of a kind faux finish from Bell and Tucker faux artisans.
Totally agree on the doing the crown molding as well — it does just give that nice, polished, finished look. Most clients are like “Ah, you were so right!” I love your pearlized molding, neutral and with just the right “oomph”. Great post!
What a great resource!
