With recent threads such as sound absorbing paint, and changing out a floor from tile to laminate, I started to wonder when my wife recently came home with a sample of 5 1/4 inch crown moulding, if it would smooth out or just add another reflective surface within my room. While I'm totally in favor of installing this crown asap within my family room, adjacent kitchen and dining room and front entrance area, I might be a little hesitant if it would have an adverse effect. Personally, I think, if anything, it will have no effect, or maybe a smoothing out effect, but maybe I'm wrong??

To crown or not to crown. What do you think??
