Coving & Cornice: The Difference

Coving and cornice work are often talked about as though they were the same thing. But beyond the fact that they are both methods for creating a transition from wall to ceiling, there are distinct differences between the two that need to be acknowledged.

Coving

Coving and cornice serve a similar purpose but express different aesthetic imperatives. Coving is the simpler of the two types of decorative moulding and is often characterised by a concave mid-section that extends the length of the coving. There are exceptions, of course, to that rule, but even they embrace a simple aesthetic, albeit in slightly different ways. Coving is often found today in modern and postmodern buildings, but was also used extensively in period homes of the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian eras.

Cornice

A cornice is the more elaborate type of decorative moulding and is usually employed to provide a sense of grandeur and luxury. There is no single motif you can point to as being typical of cornice work. It was often extremely fanciful and intended to express the tastes of the homeowner. Unlike coving that usually extends more or less equidistant down the wall and out onto the ceiling, cornice work is not bound by such limitations and may extend much farther horizontally than vertically, or vice versa.
