What coving will suit my home?
This is a question we get asked alot, in truth coving is as much about personal preference than anything. here is a bried covin style guide.
Contemporary: from approximately 1950, following on from the ‘modern design’ is the style that reflects anything currently trendy.
Georgian: the period between 1750 and 1830. Cornices and mouldings tended to have a Roman influence and had fine details.
Victorian: most popular in the period between 1837 and 1901 the Victorian period designs were based on imitation and reproduction. Mouldings had bold designs and tended to be heavily enriched. Many different styles were revived, and often had more than one influence featured on a single piece of cornice or moulding.
Art Deco: most popular between 1907 and 1935, Art Deco began in Europe in the early years of the 20th century. It rejected many traditional, classical influences in favour of more streamlined, geometric forms, making use of modern techniques and materials. During this period fibrous plaster started to take over from run in situ cornice making plaster moulding more affordable.
The height of the room can have a large impact on the overall appearance of your plasterwork. Tall ceilings are the ideal environment for rich in decorative elements, such as Victorian or Georgian style cornices. These can be seen in palaces, churches, ball rooms, and houses with high ceilings. The images below are some examples of rooms that have used decorative plasterwork to fill the emptiness effect that can be caused by high ceilings:
Normal to low ceilings should use as minimalistic and thin cornice styles to prevent the height form shrinking further. A perfect choice would be a contemporary ceiling design.
