Have you ever noticed what a dramatic change crown molding can make in any room of a home? The kitchen is no exception and adding molding to your kitchen cabinets is a great way to enhance their appearance.

Crown Molding and Stock Kitchen Cabinets

Stock or RTA kitchen cabinets are a popular choice particularly for those on a tight budget. Crown molding can accentuate stock or ready-to-assemble cabinets and make them look like custom cabinets. There are many types of crown molding including wood, PVC, polyurethane, and plaster. Styles range from smooth wood to intricate and detailed designs. Enhance the look of your kitchen by adding crown molding to your kitchen cabinets.

If you want the luxurious look of crown molding, there are certain types of soft woods and composite molding that you need to be aware of before you start your kitchen remodeling project.

Softwood Molding

Poplar, spruce and pine are various types of soft wood that are ideal for crown molding. They may cost less than hardwoods but they look just as good – especially when stained or painted.

Composite Molding

If you want to save even more money, consider fiberboard or polyurethane. These composites are ideal for homeowners wanting the look of luxurious crown molding for less. Another plus to composite molding is that it’s one of the easiest materials to paint so you can really give your kitchen cabinets a customized look.

There are so many types of kitchen cabinets available; it is often hard to make that final decision on which style is right for you. Once you’ve selected the cabinets perfect for your kitchen, go the extra step and apply classic crown molding above the cabinets. It will make a dramatic difference in the overall appearance of your cabinets and will add stunning beauty to your kitchen.

Classic Crown Molding Makes A Big Difference in Kitchen Cabinet Style

Classic crown molding is normally wider than standard molding. It is a beautiful choice for above cabinet trim. Many types of classic crown moldings add decorative trim inserts such as dentil or bead strips. This only makes your kitchen cabinetry and trim more unique.

Select similarly styled crown molding in smaller formats for under cabinet trim. Classic crown molding is truly synonymous with traditional architectural beauty of classical periods. Make your kitchen cabinets a true gem by finishing your look with above-cabinet classic crown molding.

The vast majority of homes are constructed using stock materials designed to fit within a builder’s budget. Kitchen cabinets normally fall within the stock category. There are opportunities during home construction when the prospective homeowner might have a chance to choose interior paint colors or carpeting. Rarely is there the same opportunity presented for choosing kitchen cabinets.

Stock kitchen cabinets have grown in quality and aesthetic appearance over the years, but many still lack a finishing touch. One option to offer a more finished, high-end look for your stock cabinets is to add crown or cornice molding to the upper and outer edges. Crown molding can be one piece or milled into several different pieces to create a certain look.

Most stock kitchen cabinets have no edge molding. If your budget doesn’t allow you to purchase new kitchen cabinets, consider adding crown molding at least to the top of your upper cabinetry. It is less expensive than purchasing new cabinets and a great way to give your kitchen cabinets a finished look and your home a richer feel.

With DirectBuy you will find a wide selection of kitchen cabinets in many finishes, styles, designs, and sizes. You can choose from the custom cabinet selection for a perfect addition to your kitchen design – all at manufacturer-direct prices.
