Coving: Everything You Need to Know

  
If you're considering a home renovation or building project, don't overlook the importance of coving. It can significantly enhance the aesthetics of a room by adding a finishing touch to your walls and covering unsightly features like curtain tracks, uneven walls, and wiring. This blog post covers everything you need to know about coving, including different types, uses, and styles.
   
 
Coving to Hide Curtain Track
Curtain tracks can be unsightly and take away from the overall appearance of your room. Fortunately, coving can be a great solution for hiding them, creating a sleek and polished look. We offer lightweight coving options that allow you to conceal curtain fixtures and create a neat and stylish window treatment. You can also use it to hide ugly curtain poles, rings, and pleats behind a simple curtain pelmet to suit your interior.
   
   
Is There an Alternative to Coving?
While coving is a popular choice for adding a decorative touch to walls and ceilings, some homeowners opt for using skirting boards, picture rails, or dado rails to add texture and depth to a room. Coving isn't necessary, but it can certainly elevate the look and feel of your home, particularly in Edwardian or Victorian style properties.
  
  
Coving for LED Lights
Coving is also an excellent choice for incorporating LED recessed lighting into a room. It provides a stunning visual effect and practical lighting, making it a popular choice for modern homes. You can introduce sophisticated mood lighting to your scheme by using indirect lighting across our product ranges for a seamless aesthetic.
  
   
Can Coving be used to hide Pipes in the Bathroom?

Coving can also be used to hide unsightly pipes, particularly in bathrooms. Our water-resistant coving is easy to keep clean, making it a great addition to your bathroom. You can pair it with our wall panelling to create a stunning wall to ceiling design.

   
   Can Coving be used in Kitchens? 

In kitchens, coving can be used to lighting and led cabling and provide a decorative touch to the ceiling. It's also a great way to add lighting and create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Our lightweight coving and cornices are easy to install as they are cut to shape and are flexible to fit every corner and angle of your kitchen.

   
Can coving be used on the ceiling?
Coving is a popular choice for adding texture and depth to a ceiling. It can be used to create a feature in a room or to provide a decorative touch. We offer a fantastic range of both contemporary and traditional coving designs, depending on the style and design chosen.
   
 
 Using coving for Bay Windows

   Coving can also be used to create a beautiful frame around a bay window, adding depth and texture to the room. You can choose from a variety of styles, including our ‘Flex’ options of mouldings, which can be used for curved walls.

         

                   
Can coving be used on Curved Ceilings?
If you have a curved ceiling, coving can be used to create a smooth transition between the ceiling and walls. Some of our coving styles offer a ‘Flex’ version, which allows you to create a seamless design no matter if you have curved walls or ceilings.
   
   
Adding coving to your home
Finally, coving can be used to create a grand entrance in a hallway or a soft and romantic atmosphere in a bedroom, with decorative designs and lighting. We offer a wide range of Victorian and Edwardian-style coving that can add a sense of grandeur to a room with intricate and decorative designs.
