Cornice

As one of the most common decorative mouldings, the cornice creates an elegant transition between the ceiling and the wall.
The placement of cornices draws the eye up, enhancing the sense of height in a room.
The width and amount of detailing on a cornice can vary, but the general rule is, the bigger the room and the higher the ceiling, the wider the cornice.
The amount of detailing depends on personal taste and the general style of the home.
