Crown Molding
Photo
Photo
Weight of crown matches weight of base - perhaps it would be better (forced proportion and all that) to be just a tad smaller.
Q

Two different designs - one simple, one complex.

Crown that is deeper than it is tall (done with drywall reveals for tray/apron)
Q

Super-elaborate, but requires such detail everywhere to balance it. Plus, it's white - this would be overpowering in wood.

Match kitchen crown to cabinet crown in shape.

Crown that is taller than it is deep.

Casing sizing tip: 50% of base (don't look at crown in the photo)
Q

Baseboard sizing tip: 7%. So, with 8' ceiling, use 7" base.
Q
Photo
High ceiling, wide trim on aprons - painted, as is base. Oversized rosette.
Q
Photo
Appropriate massing of crown and ceiling rosette. Looks fine in white to add depth and border. Unclear how this would look if stained (of course, to match stained base which would have to be present) - too heavy?
Q

Not crown, but elegant and complete.
Q

Excellent proportion, color, and contrast. Though not grand in size, crown matches base.
Q
Photo
Either too dark, too small, or both. Perhaps if walls and/or ceilings were deeper in hue.
Q
Photo
Too small for space. Adds accent, but the second-glance makes me wonder whether it needs to be there at all - not the balance that I wish.

Stained molding defines borders. Large enough to hold its own, but not 'top-heavy'.
