6. Architectural Crown Molding

Often, the difference between a custom kitchen and a builder-grade one is the connection to the ceiling.

  • Custom Appearance: Adding crown molding to the top of your upper cabinets fills the void between the cabinetry and the ceiling, giving your kitchen a built-in, expensive look.
  • Vertical Appeal: This simple carpentry trick draws the eye upward, making your ceilings feel higher and your cabinetry feel more substantial.
