A No-Tools-Needed Crown Molding Hack That Sounds Too Good To Be True

Want to make your space a little more elegant? There are many small changes that'll make your home feel more luxurious, and crown molding is another feature that can do just the trick! However, crown molding can be difficult to install and come with a hefty price tag, especially if you have it installed by a professional. Try peel-and-stick crown molding instead for an easy and cheap way to add a unique flair to any room!

This no-tools-needed DIY project is easy enough to be done in one day. TikTok creator @justanothernurse1 shows how simple the installation is. Start by measuring your room and then heading to Home Depot where you can purchase 72 linear feet of peel-and-stick molding for around $90. Next, simply peel the backing off the molding and stick so that it is flush with the top of the wall. Use a pair of scissors to trim the molding to fit the corners of the wall, and then continue to make your way around the room. Before long, this no-tool crown molding will be complete and ready to be admired!

Take a few extra moments to ensure your crown molding is the star of the room. Using an acrylic latex paint, paint your new trim to match the rest of the house. You can also use the molding to create a special feature to your media or living room by adding an LED light feature which can sync with your TV or music. Simply stick the LED light strip on the wall before installing the crown molding. This Lit Molding allows you to buy all the necessary items in one place.

Another great feature of this no-tools crown molding is that it can be removed, making it a good option for renters (just make sure to test on a small piece of the wall first to ensure your brand removes easily without damaging the wall's paint). But, for those not renting, does crown molding add value to a home? Unfortunately, because it doesn't have the same craftsmanship as professionally installed molding, peel and stick crown molding is unlikely to change the value of your home. Instead, doing these things can boost your home's value.
