Farmhouse Crown Molding

Mid-Century Modern architecture celebrates simplicity and function – and the crown molding should nearly disappear into that vision. This isn’t about ornamentation or traditional profiles. It’s about creating the subtlest of transitions that honor clean lines and complement the open, flowing spaces of postwar modernism.

True Mid-Century Modern crown molding features minimal profiles, flat planes, and understated designs that whisper rather than shout. The beauty comes from restraint and the natural warmth of teak, walnut, or light oak – woods that defined the era’s Scandinavian influences and organic modernism. These species offer rich tones and subtle grain that add warmth without adding visual complexity. Many MCM purists prefer no crown at all, but when used, it should be almost imperceptible.

Our craftsmen understand that Mid-Century Modern style emerged as a rejection of excess – where form follows function and less is genuinely more. Each piece we mill respects that philosophy. We create molding that looks like it belongs in a 1960s Eichler home or a contemporary space inspired by the Case Study houses – minimal enough to maintain clean sightlines and preserve the connection between walls and ceilings, yet present enough to provide a refined finish.

The right crown molding integrates seamlessly with your flush doors, picture windows, and built-in storage into an uncluttered whole. It’s the finishing touch that says you understand that great design knows when to step back.
