Is crown molding appropriate for rooms with vaulted ceilings?

Question

I have a couple of rooms where one wall meets the ceiling at a much lower point than another wall due to my vaulted ceilings. Can I put up crown molding in these rooms without it looking bad? Thanks!

Check this out. I was gonna say no, it would look bad, but I decided to check first. I just searched with Yahoo for "Crown molding for vaulted ceiling" It looks pretty good.

Answer 2

Yeah it can look good. Normally for rooms with tall ceilings you use a larger crown molding and for rooms with short ceilings you use smaller crown molding. You may want to go with a crown molding somewhere in the middle if the same room has tall and short areas.
