molding
Wall meets ceiling
Molding is decorative trim—strips of wood, plaster, or other material with a shaped profile, used to finish edges where walls meet ceilings, floors, or door frames: crown molding, base molding.
The term also covers the process of shaping material in a mold, or the shaped object itself: injection molding, a plastic molding.
Also spelled moulding in British English.
