Notes:

• No one likes the sight of clutter and nothing makes your apartment or home look less sophisticated than piles of junk and clutter everywhere.
• If you want to truly make your home more modern and chic, consider embracing minimalism. In other words, the idea that less is more.

Notes:

• And since crown molding isn’t too expensive, especially the plastic kind, you’ll be able to upgrade your home on any budget.
• For the best outcome, consider the widest trim you can afford. And, if you want to go even further, think about adding other types of molding, such as columns, ceiling beams, high baseboards, chair rails or ceiling medallions.
