When planning an interior renovation or new build, homeowners often focus on flooring, wall colours or furnishings — but it's the finer architectural details that truly transform a room. Cornices are one of those details. They're decorative mouldings that connect the wall to the ceiling, adding definition, depth, and style, turning plain rooms into elegant, cohesive spaces.
At Silver Cornices, we specialise in handcrafting plaster cornices that suit every style, from ornate Victorian reproductions to sleek, modern profiles. Here's why choosing the right cornice can elevate any home!
Why Cornices Are Essential in Interior Design
Cornices are more than decoration, they create balance in a room that prevents abrupt transitions from wall to ceiling, that feel unfinished. With cornices you can achieve:
- Visual continuity — cornices tie rooms together creating a seamless flow.
- Architectural character — they add charm, whether subtle or statement making.
- Style definition — from heritage cornices in Federation or Colonial homes to bold Art deco or minimalist profiles in contemporary apartments.
In short, cornices don't just complete a space... they refine it, and bring a unified presence between every room.
Heritage Homes: Preserving Classic Elegance
For period and heritage properties, decorative plaster cornice are a must for replacements or style revivals. They restore architectural authenticity, bringing back the detail and craftmanship of another era. At Silver Cornices our Federation, Victorian and Georgian cornices are ideal for historical restorations. We ensure your project maintains its historical integrity while also meeting modern building standards.

Modern architecture favours light, space, and simplicity — but that doesn't mean skipping cornices. Our plaster cornices made with strengthened fibrous plaster feature slim, streamlined profiles that add subtle depth without overwhelming minimalist interiors. The result? Sophistication that feels effortless. Our Colonial or Modern ranges are great places to start browsing for a contemporary look.
