Can I put crown mouldings on a cathedral ceiling?
On One Hand: Positioning of the MouldingYou can place crown moulding on a cathedral ceiling. The moulding should be continuous at the intersection of the wall and ceiling. If the cathedral ceiling slopes away from the walls, the crown moulding can be placed at the base of the ceiling, where it meets the wall. This moulding should be at the same height all the way around the base of the ceiling.On the Other: Ceiling Changes Make It DifficultAlthough crown moulding can be placed on a cathedral ceiling, the complicated geometry of the ceiling may negate the use of crown moulding. Instead, other ornamental trim can be used at the intersection of the cathedral ceiling planes.Bottom LineCrown moulding can be added to a cathedral ceiling. However, the crown moulding must be placed at the intersection of the wall and ceiling.
