Caterham Coving and Cornice Installation

Caterham Coving Installation (CR3): If the hard lines between ceiling and wall surfaces are something you hate you might want to think about softening them by the use of coving and ornamental mouldings. Some would argue that coving was a design fad of the 80's and is not really suitable for contemporary homes in Caterham, others might disagree. Fashion, however, should not dictate whether you have coving put up in your property or not, that should be solely down to personal preference alone. Would you prefer stark, contemporary lines between your walls and ceilings or smooth, classic transitions?

Long celebrated in the world of interior design and architecture as ageless elements that can transform a space from average to astounding, bespoke alcoves and archways. These architectural features are not only pleasing to the eye, but they also have practical uses, such as providing storage solutions, defining areas within a room, or simply adding a bit of elegance and charm. Let's delve into the realm of bespoke archways and alcoves and discover why they continue to be cherished elements in interior design.

Archways are architectural marvels that have graced structures for many centuries, dating back to ancient civilisations like the Romans. Modern interior design is seeing a major comeback of bespoke archways today. Various styles of tailor-made arches are available, from the classic Roman arch to the more modern, minimalist designs.

One of the most striking advantages of bespoke archways is their ability to create a sense of flow and transition between spaces. While maintaining a feeling of separation, they connect different rooms, creating an open and inviting atmosphere. Archways can also draw attention to particular areas or architectural features within a room, making them focal points. Bespoke archways, whether crafted from wood, stone or plaster, can be tailored to complement the overall aesthetic of your space, adding sophistication and character, making them a versatile and stylish addition to any home.
