Crown Molding, the loveliest piece to accent any room in your house. It’s also the most dreaded and according to most people the hardest part of the house to wrap their minds around. Looking at it, crown molding would seem to be simple inside and outside corner cuts, similar to base boards or molding for doors and windows – but it isn’t.

As you can see above, there are tons of different types of crown molding. So many in fact, a lot of companies simply number the product, rather than give it a name.

Do you know what the most common mistake about installing crown molding is? Once people figure out how to make their cuts – they tend to install the molding upside down. When you go to purchase your molding from the hardware store – before you wall out the door – ask which end is the top and which is the bottom. You may be a little embarrassed, but you need to know which end goes up.
