Most people think that crown molding is outdated, but the truth is that this feature is still pretty useful and can be a great solution to add a more classical or elegant touch to the room. Some research showed that using crown molding can help increase a home’s appraisal value, and that’s absolutely great return on investment since this elements is quite cheap and affordable.
But when it comes to rustic style, that’s a little bit tricky rather than any other style. For other styles such as classic, or even contemporary or modern ones, you can easily buy any ready-to-install crown molding. But for rustic style decor, it’s very difficult to find a decorative crown molding that will fit perfectly into this style.
The perfect rustic crown molding should be made using wood, and that’s why it’s difficult to find fabricated ones since other decor styles can use any materials such as PVC, Polyurethane, Gypsum, or other engineered materials that are easy to mass-produce.
That’s the reason why for rustic-style homes, most homeowners order custom crown molding from the carpenter or even make it themself.
