Peter Salerno: Using the helpful chart below, choose the largest crown for both the ceiling and cabinetry – your client will like what they see and how their properly proportioned room feels.  Start with the ceiling crown.

• Using multiple pieces in a build-up serves as focal point for hoods and hearths
• Always do a mock-up corner piece – assembled and finished – to help your client envision how a larger crown enhances the room

• Crown detail serves the designer well – it can help correct an uneven soffit, and enhance doors, windows, and recessed ceilings
• Start with ceiling crown first – follow with other crown applications which will always be smaller than ceiling crown
• Push the envelope – “Don’t be afraid to use larger, bolder crowns!”
