Should crown moulding and the ceiling be the same exact color?

by Sandra
(Texas)

Charlotte, Thank you so much for your very helpful input on my previous questions regarding chair railing and crown molding! How wonderful to have your professional opinion on my re-do project.

You commented: "Keep the crown moulding to antique white, or even plain white - and keep the ceilings in white too." I'm not sure whether you mean it would be okay to paint the crown moulding antique white even though the ceiling is white-white.

I am hoping it will look okay to paint the crown moulding antique white, especially in the rooms where the chair railing is antique white.

Will the antique crown moulding work okay with white-white ceilings?

Thank you, thank you! Sandra

Antique white and pure white will be fine!
by: Charlotte

Hello Sandra

Sorry for any confusion!

Yes, it should be fine to paint the crown moulding in antique white, and the ceiling in white-white.

It is just best to keep to light colors high up, especially if you have concerns about the ceilings feeling low.

White-white is still a good color for ceilings though - in my opinion ceilings themselves should be kept as light and bright as possible.

So yes, antique white crown moulding with a white-white ceiling should have no problems!

Good luck with your project.

Best wishes

Charlotte

I agree, ceiling should be light ..
by: Milan Jara

Hi,

I agree with you that ceiling should be light color especially if it is less than 10 ft.

All my moldings in my home are pure white along with the ceilings where I have installed ceiling tiles. Walls are off white.

I think that my websites will be helpful to the Do it Yourselfers

Here they are :

&
www.decorativecrownmoldings.com
