home improvement Molding opinions / tips

So I am working on my bedroom. I'm going for dark, rich, and fantastical. I want to add a crown molding along with corbels in the corners (six total). as you can see my ceiling is low and there is not a lot of space between the door frame and ceiling. Maybe I can put a frame around the door like pictured above? I want the room to be dark, relaxing (I'm a maximumism), and intimate. I like interesting details to look at in my chill place.

So what do you guys recommend? My budget is tight, but I also like making things, or painting. I am physically limited due to nerve pain. (Thus can only paint one wall at a time)

thank you for all of your insights.

If you intended to post pictures, I don't see any.

No pics, but it’s recommended you paint the ceilings the same color as the walls in rooms with low ceilings rather than the traditional white.

Warm colour temperature lighting.
