Ogee Crown
An S-curve, convex over concave. The classic traditional profile.
What it looks like
The top rolls outward and the bottom scoops back. That S is what most people picture when they say crown.
Where it belongs
Traditional rooms, dining rooms, and exterior cornices that should look familiar rather than carved.
Size
Height is the face down the wall. Projection is how far the stick stands off the wall. Match both to the ceiling, and outdoors to the eave. The ranges are on the crown size guide.
Corners
Inside corners can be two miters or a cope. Outside corners are miters. Dentil and carved repeats have to land on the joint. See crown corners and coping.
Casing and base
An ogee casing and a molded base keep the same curve family around the room.
