Cornice & Valance Design

Cornices and valances are the studio's tool for resolving ceiling, soffit, and architectural conditions where a clean panel alone cannot. Upholstered cornices conceal motorized tracks; tailored valances finish the heading in formal rooms; pelmets read correctly under crown molding in Mediterranean and Spanish residences.

Why Choose Cornice & Valance

Why Choose This Style

Upholstered cornices conceal motorized tracks while adding decorative weight to traditional rooms.

Tailored flat valances finish the heading in transitional and contemporary residences without the formality of a full pelmet.

Cornice depth, projection, and return are calibrated room by room — there are no standard sizes in the studio's work.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

When is a cornice the right answer?
When the architecture asks for one — traditional rooms, formal dining rooms, and rooms where the track must be concealed without a recessed ceiling pocket.
Are valances dated?
Outdated only when over-scaled, over-decorated, or unrelated to the architecture. A well-proportioned tailored valance reads timeless.
Can cornices hide motorization?
Yes — one of their most useful contemporary applications, especially in renovations where ceiling pockets are impossible.
