What is the purpose of a cornice?
- The cornice is common in interiors where it is a type of moulding that runs along the top of interior walls.
- It can assist with brightening a room by reflecting light into areas of shadow.
- It can make small rooms seem larger by drawing the eye upwards.
- Cornices can also be used to help conceal cracking that may occur along the join between walls and ceilings.
How do I choose the right cornice?
- Consider ceiling height: A rule of thumb is that the higher the ceiling in a room, the bigger the cornice you can use. Large cornices used in a room with low ceilings will create an out of proportion effect and appear to shrink the room.
- Buy enough cornice: A ββrule of thumb is that after measuring your project, to allow an extra 20% for wastage, mitring and to produce the best finish possible. It is usually necessary to throw short off-cuts away to get a professional looking finish.
- Choose a timeless design: Either choose a plain style of plaster cornice or a design that has stood the test of time and both will look elegant and classy in 20 years' time.
