The Difference Between Coving & Cornice in Worthing

Coving & cornice are terms that are often used interchangeably. And while that is understandable to a point (since they are both ways to create an appealing transition between wall and ceiling), the two have some significant differences.

Coving

Coving is the simpler of the two types of decorative plasterwork and is characterised by a concave section running down the centre of the moulding that may be fairly wide or fairly thin. Any embellishment either above or below the concave section is generally kept to a minimum.

Cornice

Cornice work, on the other hand, embraces a wide array of design possibilities, is generally employed to create a sense of opulence and luxury and can employ everything from nature motifs to art deco motifs. Beyond that, cornice work often extends out onto the ceiling or down the walls quite a ways, and sometimes very unevenly with the ceiling portion, for example, extending further outward than the wall portion extends downward. This type of asymmetry is yet another calling card of cornice work.
