Cornice Matching

Cornice Matching

Finding the right match for your existing cornice can be a seamless process with DFN Plaster Products. Whether you're replacing a damaged section or preserving the original charm of your interiors, we specialise in matching cornice types to your existing profile. Simply bring a sample of your current cornice to our team, and we’ll help you find a match from our wide range.

In cases where an exact match isn’t available, we can suggest alternatives that can be customised during installation to blend naturally with your existing cornice lengths. This ensures a consistent and cohesive look throughout your space.

Our full installation services are designed to meet all project requirements, with no minimum cornice lengths needed. Whether it’s replacing a single section or updating the entire home, our experienced team will deliver a flawless finish.

Choosing your Cornice

Choosing the right cornice can be challenging. A common mistake is to underestimate the actual cornice sizes. Measurements are always given in terms of ‘the drop’; how far the cornice extends down the wall and ’the projection’; how far the cornice extends across the ceiling once it is fitted. This is often confused with taking a diagonal measurement across the face of a piece of cornice.

 

Aesthetics

The choice of style is ultimately up to you since taste is highly subjective. Whether your preference is modern, contemporary, and minimalist or more ornate and decorative with a classical style, you can give your room the character you wish to achieve. Referring to our cornices would be a good starting point. 

 

Understanding What is a Cornice, Ceiling Height, and Cornice Sizes

A cornice is a decorative element that transitions between walls and ceilings, serving both aesthetic and functional purposes. From concealing imperfections to enhancing architectural design, cornices elevate the overall look of any room.

The cornice sizes should correspond to the height of the room's ceiling. In rooms with high ceilings, larger cornices can be used without appearing out of proportion. However, large cornices in rooms with low ceilings can create a disproportionate look that may make the room seem smaller. As a general rule, the higher the ceiling, the larger the cornice that can be used proportionately.

• Large Cornice: >200mm - Tend to be used when the ceilings are 3m or higher
• Medium cornices: >130mm and <200mm - Are recommended when ceilings are above 2.7m and less than 3m
• Small Cornice: <130mm - Are perfect for ceilings lower than 2.7m

Smaller cornices are also great for rooms with tall appliances, for example kitchen or bathrooms.
