Are you wondering which side of the crown molding sits flush against the ceiling, and which side rests against the wall? If so, you are not alone. It isn’t necessarily obvious.

Here’s the answer. The edge with the greatest amount of detail usually rest against the wall and the edge with the least amount of detail butts the ceiling.  In other words:  “Decorative” side down is the standard placement.
