Cove OR Crown...room by room

last month

Hello detail people!

Happy New Year!

I wanted to run something by some of you. I'm looking at an issue that I didn't see on paper, and now it looks hinky in execution and I'm thinking of another solution.

The living room and foyer have higher ceilings, and I went with 4.5" crown mouldings, but now I'm looking at the Kitchen and Master, and I'm wondering if the 3.5" cove moulding instead of crown, is going to give a cleaner, airier look for those rooms. (None of it is stained -- it's all painted mouldings.)

Is it necessary to keep one moulding style consistently throughout the entire house?

I'm actually thinking of shifting to a slimmer (3.5") cove profile for the walkout basement level, as well, to have a more modern look than was originally the plan.
