moldings
Wall-ceiling border pieces
Moldings are decorative strips used to finish or ornament surfaces, especially where walls meet ceilings, floors, or door frames.
They add visual interest and hide transitions or gaps.
In American English, the spelling drops the u that British English retains in mouldings.
The crown moldings give the room an elegant look.
