Contemporary Cornice

The clean contemporary look is currently very popular in modern houses.  The modern cornices below fit in well with this style of architecture.

The full range of the stepped look of architectural cornices can be seen here.

Then there are the cove cornices, these cornices are a modern architectural design but somewhat softer than the stepped range. They can be seen here.

Another contemporary look is the shadowline,CN415.  Cornices CN450 and CN10 also use shadow to create their own modern though subtle effect.

Finally there are the bulkhead type cornices CN62 and CN63 which use straight lines and shadow to provide impact and drama.

View the Contemporary Gallery to see some of these cornices in use.

Cornice CN10 is CN450's smaller brother.  It works well on 2.4 and 2.7 metre ceilings or on higher ceilings in less important rooms where CN450 is used in the main rooms.

CN415

Ceiling:40.00 mm
Wall:32.00 mm
Length:3.60 m

Cornice CN415 is a shadow line cornice.  Although it is a plain block cornice the step against the wall makes it throw a shadow onto the wall creating a subtle feature.

This style of cornice is very effective in modern apartments with low ceilings.

This cornice is very effective at a ceiling height of 2.4 metres.

CN449

Ceiling:310.00 mm
Wall:200.00 mm
Length:4.20 m

Cornice CN449 is the largest cornice of the CN450, CN10 series.

These three cornices make up a coordinated range suitable for ceiling ranging from 2.4 metres to at least 3.6 metres.

They are based on the timeless cyma recta curve but with a bit more decoration than the plain CN405 or CN61.  They are eminently suitable for contemporary homes requiring a clean modern look.

The curved section creates a shadow effect adding intrerest and drama to cornice.

A large cornice is frequently used in major rooms and its smaller brother is installed in utiliy rooms, creating a coordinated feel without over dressing the smaller rooms.
