Can’t Be That Hard… Right?! Crown Molding Advice Needed!!

I’m planning to install crown molding throughout my house, but my living-room ceiling has a stepped design—it goes from the wall to a 45-degree angled section, then steps up again to the higher part of the ceiling. Right now, the existing crown molding sits about a foot below this angled transition, but I want to remove it and install new molding between the wall and the angled step to make the room feel taller. Feels like a solid plan but I want to make sure I’m not over complicating things. My goal is to match this molding style with the rest of the house, but it measures out to the height of the top of the elevated ceiling. So the crown molding will only be lower in the living-room where the ceiling has this design feature. Is this okay? The first two photos show the angled ceiling, and the last shows how the rest of the house looks. This is all new to me so for anyone who’s installed crown on a similar angled ceiling, what type of molding works best? I’d appreciate any advice as well! Cheers! submitted by /u/Achunem [link] [comments]
