Cornices are a refined window treatment solution that frames your windows with structure, elegance, and intention. Crafted from wood or upholstered materials, they sit at the top of your window to conceal hardware, add architectural interest, and pull the entire room together. Whether you prefer a clean modern profile or a richly upholstered finish, cornices bring polish and purpose to every space they are installed in.
Cornices work exceptionally well in living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and offices where window treatments need to feel intentional and finished. They are ideal for homeowners who want to hide curtain rods, add height to a room, or create a custom built-in look without major renovation. From residential cornice installations to commercial cornice solutions, they add architectural definition to spaces that feel flat or unfinished.
We assess your windows, ceiling height, and existing decor to recommend the right cornice style, size, and finish for your space.
We design and build your cornices to exact measurements, selecting materials, fabrics, and finishes that complement your interior.
We handle every detail of the installation, ensuring your cornices are level, secure, and perfectly positioned above each window.
If your curtain rods are visible and interrupt the look of your windows, cornices are the solution. Rooms that feel low-ceilinged, unfinished at the top of the wall, or lacking architectural character are strong candidates for cornice installation. Mismatched window treatments, exposed hardware, or drapery that lacks a proper anchor point all signal that a cornice would bring cohesion, structure, and a polished finish to the space.
Cornices hide curtain rods, tracks, and mounting brackets for a seamless, built-in appearance.
Properly positioned cornices draw the eye upward, making ceilings feel taller and spaces feel larger.
Upholstered, painted, or stained finishes allow cornices to match any interior style from traditional to contemporary.
Cornices add structure and visual weight to windows that would otherwise feel plain or unfinished.
Paired with drapery or shades, cornices unify your window treatment into one intentional, layered design.
Built to exact specifications, custom cornices hold their shape, finish, and function for years without sagging or warping.

A cornice is a rigid box-like structure, typically made from wood and sometimes upholstered in fabric, that mounts above a window to frame it and conceal hardware. A valance is a soft fabric treatment that hangs from a rod. Cornices offer a more structured, architectural look while valances are lighter and more casual.
