A Clean, Simple Look for Your Windows
Straight cornices are upholstered boards placed at the top of your windows. They create a clean, finished look by covering hardware and framing the window neatly. You can choose a flat or slightly curved design to suit your style.
These cornices are ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, or any room where you want to achieve a neat and tidy look. They pair well with drapes, shades, or blinds, helping to conceal hardware and complete the window’s appearance.

How to Measure for Straight Cornices
Measure the Window Width
Measure the width of the window at the top, middle, and bottom of the frame. Use the widest measurement for the cornice width.
Determine the Cornice Height
Decide how tall you want the cornice to be. Typically, cornices are between 6–12 inches high, but this can vary based on the design and the space.
Measure the Window Height (Optional)
If your cornice will cover the top of the window, measure from the top of the window frame to where you want the cornice to end.
Tip: Double-check your measurements in width by height (W x H) format to ensure accuracy.
