Modern Interior Design with Traditional Cornice
Traditional cornice is not only for period homes. When chosen carefully, plaster cornice can add depth, balance and architectural character to modern interiors.
Traditional Does Not Mean Old-Fashioned
Decorative plasterwork can work extremely well in modern homes when the design is proportionate and appropriate to the space.
Adding Architectural Character
Many modern interiors lack architectural detail. Cornice can add shadow, depth and finish without overwhelming a contemporary design.
Choosing The Right Profile
Cleaner profiles often suit modern rooms, while larger or enriched profiles may work better in period-style renovations or high-ceilinged spaces.
Combining With Lighting
LED lighting mouldings can combine traditional plaster craftsmanship with modern lighting effects.
Wall Panels And Ceiling Features
Cornice can be paired with panel mouldings, decorative wall panels or ceiling roses to create a more complete interior scheme.
Avoiding Over-Decoration
The goal is balance. A modern room may only need one or two strong architectural features rather than heavy decoration everywhere.
