There is an ongoing discussion at home about whether to install ceiling moldings upstairs where there are slanted ceilings.

Previously, there were shadow moldings on the gable sides of the rooms, but now there might be a desire for something more...

The interesting part is when 90 degrees meets 135...

Red line marks 90 degrees.
Blue line marks 135 degrees.
Green line is door trim on a "gable wall."

So the question is how to place molding in the corner between red and blue?
Is it possible to successfully mix moldings of different angle-types available on the market?
Or is it better to just abandon the idea and only choose one side to have molding?
 
  • Corner view with patterned wallpaper; red line marks 90 degrees, blue line marks 135 degrees, and green line indicates door trim on gable wall.

This is how I solved it, regular shadow strip on the side wall, flat facade strip on the ceiling against the slanted roof.
A shadow molding on a side wall and a flat facade trim on the ceiling against a sloped ceiling, with blue floral wallpaper in the background.

Yes, that is a solution... we'll see what the inspector at home thinks.

Use a block in the corner and it will be much easier.

Do you have any picture for inspiration/persuasion?

Homemade block, promise not to laugh ;)
Homemade wooden block fitted in corner of painted wood panelled ceiling.
 
Well, these are serious matters...

But you have some small trim along the 135-degree side... there we have been hoping for something more traditional...

But a rounded dowel can also be traditional...

It's along the ceiling, there was a gap where the panels met at the ceiling just
 
Yes, I'm not going to have a moulding following the sloped ceiling downwards, but a block in the corner might still be the way to prove that one has a grasp of the angles and their impossibility to turn out well.
