Edwardian is often referred to as being more "refined" than Victorian cornice. It is still decorative like Victorian, though it favours slightly more elegant curves and less of the high detailing often found in Victorian cornice work, and Victorian homes in general.

There are plenty of instances where Edwardian cornice work will dovetail seamlessly with some modern properties. That's especially true if the designers are aiming for a more classic look. It must be noted that other aspects of the design must take the Edwardian cornice into consideration.

You can. But you should work with a crack team like those at Keaneys to ensure the profile of the cornice work is carefully considered and chosen. Slimmer Edwardian cornice work helps promote a sense of height, even in low-ceiling rooms.

There is no hard and fast rule, but generally Edwardian cornice work is commonly found in places like the living room, dining room, bedroom and occasionally in hallways. Its subtle character makes it a perfect choice when you want an architectural character that is not overly decorative.

Edwardian cornice features gentle curves, simple dentils and subdued floral motifs. If you attempt to impose more detailing on Edwardian curves, you may undermine its natural attractiveness. So if you're looking for something more visually active, consider Victorian cornice.

Absolutely. In fact, one of the original purposes of interior cornice work was to cover such imperfections and create smooth, decorative, visually interesting transitions from wall to ceiling.

Of course! Edwardian cornice is ideal for restoring homes from the early 20th century. Talk to the experts at Keaneys about using Edwardian cornice work to preserve your property's historical character and add value to your property via authentic detailing.
