Wood Cornices:
You might be asking yourself what exactly a wood cornice is. A wood cornice is a decorative element that can be added to window treatments, shades and blinds to help dress them up, change the look and feel of a room or bring in an interesting visual element in. While some companies offer a free valance or cornice with the purchase of a particular set of blinds, they are generally a basic structure with not a lot of design. Wood cornices that are sold separately can be as extravagant as you like.
If you want to update the look of a room, then a wood cornice might be a way to do just that. Fairly inexpensive when you compare them to the cost of a home remodel, wood valances not only change the feel of a room, but they bring an added elegance and beauty. Wood cornices are like jewelry for your home. They might feel extravagant, but think of the beauty you’ll add.
Wood cornices add a decorative finish to window blinds and drapes. They not only create a focal point for the room, the variety of paints and stains can tie in with furniture or flooring accents or can stand alone. Platinum Wood Cornices come in sixteen varieties of paints and stains to match Platinum Wood Blinds. However, these cornices also provide a complimentary finish for fabric window treatments and drapes.
The Platinum Wood Cornice is available in a variety of profiles that includes Derby, Bristol and Oxford at 8 inches tall and the Bradford, Manchester and Essex at 9 inches tall. The Platinum Wood Cornice comes complete with a dust cover on the top of the cornice to protect window blinds and for easier mounting. A keystone is included with all cornices greater than 60 inches.
When you choose to decorate a window, it doesn’t have to end at the window blind, shade or drape. Using a wood cornice adds another layer to the design element that can compliment or contrast other elements in the room. By using a stain on the cornice that perfectly matches a piece of art or furniture, you are creating more visual interest in the piece.
Most people try to work with complimentary colors, but using a contrasting painted valance can bring an intrigue to a room. Think of contrasting the valance against a rug, piece of furniture or painting. The eye will be drawn to both. Check out a color wheel for ideas.
Cornices come in all shapes and sizes. They have varying widths and come in ornate patterns and simple contoured designs. Some are hand carved and others are factory made. The cost will vary depending on style.
Wood cornices and valances are available in stores and on-line. When ordering on-line, choose a reputable dealer and look for discounts or free shipping. If you want a change for your home, or an updated look, then consider adding a new layer to your window treatments.
