Decorative Cornices vs Plain Cornices: Choose the Best Option

During renovations, homeowners frequently concentrate on the walls and floors but overlook the impact of the ceiling on the overall design. A room may feel incomplete with a simple ceiling. Solution? Decorative cornices. They give interior spaces balance, character, and definition. At Hirison Mouldings, we assist Australians in making a choice between decorative and plain cornices based on their budget and home style.

What are decorative cornices, and how do they elevate your interior look?

Decorative cornices are moulded trims which connect the wall and ceiling and provide depth and character. They instantly improve the appearance of the space and come in floral, curved, and stepped designs. They offer durability and elegance because they are made of lightweight, waterproof polyurethane (PU) and are pre-primed and ready to paint. These cornices look great in classic interiors and go well with modern homes when painted in gentle, neutral hues.

Plain vs decorative cornices: which suits your home style?

For minimalist or modern spaces, plain cornices provide a straightforward, tidy finish. Conversely, decorative cornices go well with elegant or heritage-style homes where the charm is enhanced by additional detail. Decorative cornices will finish the look of your room if it has moulded wall panels or elaborate ceiling roses. Whereas, plain profiles maintain the sleekness and balance of homes with a modern cornice design theme.

How to mix modern furniture with traditional cornice designs?

Combining modern and traditional design elements adds personality To highlight the cornice detailing, keep the walls light, select contemporary furniture with soft edges, and opt for basic lighting. When colours are coordinated, decorative cornices look surprisingly good with simple decor.

Choosing the right cornice size and profile for different ceilings

Cornices may appear different based on the size of the room and the height of the ceiling.

• Use thin, straightforward profiles for spaces with low ceilings.
• Use bold designs to create proportion and presence with ceilings.
