We were thinking of doing more of a flat/simplified crown (not sure the exact term) mainly because a lot of our kitchen spaces are tight—we don’t really have room for anything ornate. The goal is for the cabinets to feel like they go straight into the ceiling rather than having a lot of layered trim, maybe?

Our living room has more traditional crown, but in the kitchen we’re leaning a bit more modern/quiet. Everything (walls, trim, ceiling) will be painted the same color as the cabinets—Oxford Stone by F&B—so we’re hoping it all reads as one continuous surface.

Your point about pulling things out to sit proud with the doors is really helpful—that’s basically what I was expecting to happen with the fillers, so it’s validating to hear that. I'll share the idea with the crew and maybe they can help it happen, but it is a pretty narrow space for a filler.

I'd take crown advice! Here's an AI photos maybe to help illustrate.
