Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cornice?

Can cornices be customized to match different interior styles?

Yes, they are highly customizable. They come in various styles, shapes, and materials, making it easy to match them to different interior design themes. Fabric choices, paint colors, and decorative elements can be personalized to complement the overall decor.

How do you install a cornice?

They are typically installed above windows using brackets or directly mounted to the wall. The specific installation method may vary based on the type and design you choose.

Do cornices work with various window sizes and shapes?

Yes, they can be adapted to fit a wide range of window sizes and shapes. Customization allows for the creation of cornices that complement everything from standard windows to arched or bay windows

What materials are commonly used for cornices?

Commonly used materials include wood, MDF (medium-density fiberboard), foam, and fabric. Wood and MDF options can be painted or stained, while fabric-covered options add a softer, upholstered look.

Are cornices easy to clean and maintain?

The ease of cleaning and maintenance depends on the material used. Wooden or MDF choices can be dusted or wiped with a damp cloth. Fabric-covered options may require more delicate care, such as vacuuming or spot cleaning.

Yes! They can be paired with curtains, blinds, or other window treatments to create a layered and cohesive look. They can enhance the overall aesthetic and provide a polished appearance to the entire window area.

What are some common design mistakes to avoid when using cornices?

Common mistakes when making a choice include overwhelming the window or clashing with the overall decor. It’s essential to consider proportion, style cohesion, and the overall design scheme to ensure the cornice complements the space rather than dominating it.
