Nine to 10 feet estimate crown molding width by permitting 1 2 inch of rise for each foot of ceiling height in a room with ceilings measuring 9 to 10 feet.
Crown molding different ceiling heights.

The crown moulding does not have to be at a 45 degree angle.
These larger crowns are often built up using 2 or more moulding profiles and are also referred to as a cornice.
You can alter the angle to get a lesser projection with good looking results.
Ceilings that are 9 feet tall can sustain a larger crown typically 3 7 1 2 plus the addition of a picture mold in formal public spaces.
For standard 8 foot high ceilings the crown cornice height should be 2 to 6 inches.
I m going to show three examples of ways to deal with crown moulding at different heights.
Adjust upward for larger rooms.
The continuous header idea is an additional bridge the same height as the moulding on the 42 unit which is attached to the ceiling with the same continuous crown on it spanning across the lower 30 unit.
Some suggested crown mouldings for 9 foot ceilings.
Webber this crown is paired with crisply milled dentil molding and beaded baseboard.
For 9 foot ceilings 3 to 7 inches and for 10 foot ceilings 3 to 8 inches.
This scenario includes both ways to end a lower level crown on adjacent cabinets.
