Why there is no place for a classic cornice in a modern interior: a stylish alternative
A curtain rod is an essential element used to decorate a window opening.
However, not all cornices, as the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , says, are equally “useful” – for the interior, of course.
Thus, a classic cornice, which is necessarily accompanied by a suspended ceiling with a plinth, makes any textiles on the windows less attractive.
It has one more significant disadvantage.
This option hides the height of the ceilings, thereby “grounding” them, which creates the feeling of a closed space.
So what should be used as an alternative?
A great way out of this situation would be a shadow gap with a hidden cornice, which looks light and airy and creates the feeling of a ceiling floating in the air.
You can enhance the effect with the help of backlighting – this way you will be able to make the textiles more expressive and impressive, especially at night.
This solution is suitable for minimalist modern interiors, for example, neoclassicism, Scandinavian style, minimalism or loft.
