Coving & Cornice: The Essential Difference

As we mentioned, coving and cornice serve the same basic function of producing an aesthetically agreeable transition from wall to ceiling. But beyond that, there are notable differences between the two.

Coving

Coving embraces a more minimalist aesthetic than cornice work. Coving has made something of a comeback in recent years, embraced by those who appreciate its subtle sophistication and its nod toward history and tradition. Coving often (not always) has a concave central portion that extends the length of the coving. It is this feature that gives coving its name ("coving" being derived from the Old English word "cofa", meaning cave). The relative simplicity of coving also helps explain why it is usually the less expensive option.

Cornice

Cornice work, by comparison, is almost always far more elaborate and detailed than coving. It is typically employed in homes and other structures in order to convey a sense of luxury. There is no single design motif that can be said to typify cornice work. It is often very detailed, but the exact nature of those details may be the result of the individual tastes and preferences of the homeowner.
