Crown Moulding: A Fit For Any Room

Posted on February 22, 2019April 29, 2022 By sarahosbornewood

Wood carving can be traced back to ancient times, beginning with the hieroglyphics and sarcophagi of Ancient Egyptians, to specimens of early Christian reliefs from Greece & Rome, through the intricately carved churches of the Middle Ages, to the breathtaking beauty of Renaissance sculptures. Though modern day architecture may not achieve the intricate detail of these ornate pieces of history, the effect can still be achieved with strategically placed pieces of carved wood, specifically carved crown moulding such as the type offered by Osborne Wood Products.

Crown moulding has historically been used for topping or “capping” walls, pilasters, and cabinets and is most often used to create interior or exterior cornice assemblies such as those over doors or windows. In modern times, crown moulding has simply or extravagantly graced the interiors of homes, businesses, and places of worship as decorative trim where walls and ceilings meet.

For a simple, contemporary effect, you can use either the traditional or Contemporary Crown Moulding to add a finishing touch of sophistication without intricate carvings. The traditional style crown moulding is the perfect option for subtle detail that will flawlessly complement your home. Guaranteed to not overpower, the traditional style can turn your home into an understated masterpiece. You will be amazed at the huge difference that just a simple crown moulding will accomplish in your space.

For an instant tropical look that brings to mind beautiful beaches and casual days in the sun, why not try a basketweave design?

For a lovely in-between look, the classic design can be used in conjunction with dentil, rope and egg & dart insert mouldings. You can quickly spice up your home with any of these beautifully carved insert mouldings. Each of these mouldings is designed to be inserted into a matching slot on a larger crown moulding, which instantly dresses up the simpler lines of the larger moulding, and creates real eye-appeal for your wall. The combination of the classic moulding with the touch of hand-carved detail from the insert is a look of understated elegance.

The dentil pattern is a very classic look that is perfect for adding the subtle detailing you need to complete your home project. For a little more elegant look, use the rope insert or egg & dart insert moulding. Try our insert mouldings for an instant way to add interest to your ceiling or cabinet without overwhelming the eye!
