So What is Cornice Coving?

Cornice coving is a type of decorative moulding that is typically used to cover the junction between the walls and the ceiling. Originating from classical architecture, this design element is both functional and aesthetic. It can hide cracks, uneven surfaces, and wiring or piping installations, while also adding a sophisticated character to any room.

Benefits of Installing Cornice Coving

Aesthetic Appeal: Cornice coving adds a touch of elegance and a finished look to your rooms. It can complement any décor style, from traditional to contemporary.
Increased Property Value: Well-chosen coving enhances the overall appeal of your home, which can be beneficial if you ever decide to sell.
Versatility: With a variety of designs and materials available, cornice coving can be used in every room, including kitchens and bathrooms, where it can also help to reduce the accumulation of dust and cobwebs in corners.
Customisation: Coving Online offers bespoke solutions that can be tailored to meet specific architectural needs and personal tastes.

Choosing the Right Cornice Coving

Selecting the right cornice coving involves considering the height of your ceilings, the style of your decor, and the room’s purpose. For high ceilings, larger and more ornate cornices can be appropriate, whereas simpler designs are generally better for lower ceilings. It’s important to maintain a balance that complements rather than overwhelms the room’s features.

Installation Tips

Professional installation is recommended, especially for intricate designs or high ceilings, fortunately though we do offer installation services here at Coving Online. However, our products are lightweight, strong and durable and are extremely easy to install, and DIY enthusiasts can install simpler coving models with the right tools and instructions.

Here are some tips if you choose to install it yourself:

Preparation: Ensure that the surface where you will be applying the cornice is clean, dry, and smooth.
Measuring and Cutting: Measure the walls carefully and mark it with a pencil, and use a fine-toothed saw and mitre box to cut the cornice to length. Always cut at a 45-degree angle for corners.
Fixing: Use a suitable adhesive (available at Coving Online) to fix the cornice to the wall and ceiling. Apply the adhesive to both edges of the cornice and press firmly.
Finishing Touches: Once the adhesive is dry, fill any gaps with caulk, sand down as necessary, and apply paint or finish as desired.

Cornice coving is more than just a decorative feature; it is an investment in the style and comfort of your home. With its functional benefits and the ability to elevate interiors, installing cornice coving is a smart choice for any homeowner.
