Lesson 15 : Soft Treatments For Interiors

Cornices

Cornices are rigid horizontal bands several inches deep placed at the window top (or the ceiling) to conceal curtain tops and the rods from which they hang. Constructed of wood, they are somewhat architectural in feeling and relate window treatments to walls and ceiling. Cornices are often used as apart of an energy- efficient window treatment because they are closed at the top, stopping the air flow over the top of the treatment. Upholstered cornices are padded and covered with fabric.
