"There's a reason a fresh paint job is so often recommended by designers as a first step in transforming a space: Painting a room can change not just the color, but also the whole vibe of the space. And if you use your paint right, it can even minimize flaws and call attention to assets. Take this clever paint trick recently posted by designer Orlando Soria on Instagram."
"Instead of ignoring the jagged edges at the tops of your walls, which will be there no matter how crisp your tape lines are, Soria says you can create theillusion of crown molding by stopping your wall paint a few inches below the ceiling. Then, paint that gap the same shade as the rest of the ceiling (usually white). "My go-to proportion for this technique is five inches," Soria wrote in his Instagram post."
Painting a room can change color, mood, and even minimize flaws while highlighting assets. Crown molding effectively hides the seam between wall and ceiling but adds material and installation cost. A paint technique fakes crown molding by stopping wall paint a few inches below the ceiling and painting the gap the ceiling color. A common proportion is five inches, measured roughly every 24 inches and taped before painting. This budget-friendly approach conceals uneven paint seams that high-contrast colors reveal and works in living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms to improve perceived trim and proportions.
