Add a Cornice in Your Room
Create a New Look By Adding a Cornice
If you’ve been thinking of freshening up the look of your room, consider adding a cornice. It just might be the solution to adding interest and character to the room without going through the process and cost of buying all new window treatments. Or it could be just the finishing touch you’ve been looking for.
At Bretz Interiors here in the greater Denver area, our trained consultants will be happy to help you determine if a cornice is right for you. Remember, regardless of whether you are considering adding a cornice to blend with your draperies or furniture, it could take your room from ordinary to extraordinary.
What a Cornice Can Do
Often, when people buy window treatments, they’re more focused on the fabric, color, and style of the treatment itself and neglect to consider the hardware and what it will look like. Once the treatment is installed, they see that the hardware can disrupt the room’s flow, which is where a cornice can help balance the window with the rest of the room. Cornices not only provide decorative elements in your room; they also cover up a blind’s or a shade’s unsightly control mechanism.
Will the Cornice Work for You?
Do you want your window to stand out or blend in? Think about how the cornice will affect that. Also remember that a cornice will immediately draw the eye upward, making the room seem larger.
Types of Cornices
There are two types of cornices.
- A Soft Cornice is a box covered in fabric. Soft cornices are available with extensive fabric libraries, trims, colors, and textures. You’ll be able to order a piece that’s as dramatic or subdued as your décor will allow.
- A Hard Cornice is made from wood or faux wood materials, and it doesn’t have any fabric. Hard cornices add a customized feel by blending in to your home’s structure and making a seamless statement. Hunter Douglas offers Parkland™ Wood Cornices. They are available in six profiles that will coordinate with your room’s décor, and they come in several colors and stains, so you can blend with your wall color or add an accent color.
