There are many little details that can make a home feel really “complete” and kitchen cabinet crown molding is definitely one of them. Crown molding for kitchen cabinets is a really easy project when you’re in the middle of refinishing or installing your cabinets. If you are planning on adding molding to already finished cabinets, it can be a bit trickier and we’ll get to that later.
Usually a kitchen cabinet molding is smaller than your traditional wall moldings. There really isn’t enough space on most cabinets to fit full size molding on the top of it!
Installing kitchen cabinet crown molding on unfinished cabinets is as simple as using small nails and adhesive to secure it to the ceiling and cabinet and filling any gaps with caulk. In most cases you’ll want to finish or paint it the same time that you do the cabinets so you can make sure that they have the look to them.
Adding a kitchen cabinets crown molding when the cabinet is already painted or finished is tricky, even if you are using the same color paint or finish. The reason for this is that the finish fades over time so you’re going to have either live with it, work to “fade” it, or finish it a different color. I don’t want to hold you back from installing kitchen cabinet crown molding, but be ready to make it work!
Their light weight and ease of install make this the perfect DIY project. If you’re already tearing your kitchen apart, why not put it back together even better than you had planned on?
