I am starting to remodel my bedroom. It's a small room that measures 11x12'6" with a closet on one long wall 2x8'. Ceiling height is just over 8'. My plan is to do a tall wainscoting, about 5' in height, all around, painted a warm white with a medium green on the wall above and a lighter green on the ceiling (all of these colors are used in the main room of my apartment, but there is no wainscoting there). All the trim will be in the same warm white.
My question focuses in on the crown molding I'd like to use. There are several sizes available and I am unsure which size to use in this room. I'm afraid that too large a crown molding will look too bulking and over-sized for the size of the room. I have been considering a small crown molding that is about 2", maybe a little less (1¾" I think), but I'm worried it might be too small.
Your opinion is valuable. What size crown molding would you think a good size for a wall of this height and with a wainscoting on the walls. Below is a picture of my finished main room (last year's project) and a section of wall with the tallest piece of furniture in my bedroom - note the line on the wall that indicates the approximate height of the wainscoting.
Thanks for your input. Jim
