The Difference Between Coving & Cornice

Coving and cornice have been around in one form or another for thousands of years. But all that time has lent precious little clarity to the issue of if and how they are different. While they both serve the same general purpose of creating an attractive transition between the upper wall and the ceiling, there are some important aesthetic differences between the two.

Recognizing Coving

Coving creates a clean and simple transition from wall to ceiling and often (not always) features a concave area extending from near the top to near the bottom of the coving as it runs along the top of the wall. For the most part, the overall effect is minimalist. But that doesn't mean it's strictly for contemporary homes (although it's great for them as well). You will also find coving in Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, and other types of homes.

Recognizing Cornice

If coving could be characterised as simple, cornice work could be characterised as elaborate. There is no single overriding aesthetic at work in cornice. Instead, it can be very individualised and whimsical. Because it leaves the interior designer more aesthetic leeway, cornice work is the more versatile of the two. Cornice may extend some ways out into the ceiling and/or down the walls and often features art deco, floral and other motifs.
