Installing an Interior Ceiling Cornice
To define an interior ceiling cornice, one would say a ceiling cornice is a decorative finish applied to the area where the interior wall of a building meets the roof, and that they add the perfect, classy finish to any roof. This definition stresses that these can be the perfect ornamental way to make your room décor look complete and attractive.
Exterior cornices are also available, however these will not be discussed in this article, as the point of this article is to focus on helping you select interior cornices.
Types of Ceiling Cornices
There are many types of ceiling cornices available to purchase, and the type and style you choose depends both on the desired décor of your room, and your budget. The prices vary according to how elaborate the style of the ceiling cornice moulding and cornice design is, and the quality of the material it is made of.
It is important to research different types of cornices available before you make your decision, so as to not have any regrets after they are fitted. Some of the different types of ceiling cornices available will be briefly discussed below, in an attempt to help you make the decision of which type is right for you.
- Cornice Board: This is also known as a window cornice and is used to hide your curtain rod. They are usually made from wood but covered with batting and fabric that matches your curtains / drapery, or with leftover pieces of your wallpaper.
- Gypsum Cornice: Gypsum is a very soft mineral, and is sometimes used in the manufacture of cornices. Due to the fact that gypsum is a very soft material to work with , it can be carved and molded into beautiful designs.
- Plaster Cornice: As the name suggests, a plaster cornice is a cornice that is made from plaster. Plaster is one of the older materials used in the manufacture of cornices, and can also be carved and molded into a beautiful pattern and design.
- Wooden Cornice: If you have wooden furniture, or an African themed room, wooden cornices are definitely something to consider. They create a natural, warm feeling to a room and aren’t very expensive. The wood can also be painted to match any colour scheme in your room.
