Location:
There are many period homes in Thornton Heath, Surrey, including Victorian and Edwardian homes. Architectural features like fireplaces, lofty ceilings, and elaborate mouldings are frequently seen in these homes.
Background:
Mirko wanted to use a plaster coving to add charm to his hallway. While making sure the designs fit the dimensions of his room, he aimed to add period-style features. After giving it some thought, he decided on ‘Plaster Ceiling Roses’ due of our superior products and wide selection of sizes and styles.
The Challenge:
One of the main difficulties Mirko encountered was choosing the appropriate coving for his space. The hallway needed a striking Modillion-style cornice that wouldn’t appear too elaborate.
Considering the unique challenges associated with period properties, ensuring a seamless and professional installation was crucial. While we do not offer coving installation, ‘Plaster Ceiling Roses’ maintains a list of approved coving installers who can provide a high-quality and affordable fitting service across the UK. We connected Mirko with ‘CM Cornice.’
The Project Plan:
In order to realise his vision, Mirko collaborated with PCR to provide premium plaster cornices and recruited the skilled team at CM Cornice Ltd for the installation process.
For the hallway, he selected Plaster Coving Modillion (LPC020) - a structured yet understated design that complemented the style of the flat without overwhelming the space.
The skilled fitters at CM Cornice Ltd carefully installed the coving, guaranteeing that it matched seamlessly - there were no installation difficulties.
Before & After:
Before the hallway lacked the period detailing that Mirko wanted to reintroduce back into the property. The addition of carefully chosen plaster coving has completely transformed the space, adding elegance and architectural interest. In the hallway, the Modillion-style coving frames the space beautifully.
Mirko describes the final result as “absolutely amazing”, noting that the coving feels as though it has always been part of the property.
Products Used:
• Plaster Coving Modillion 137mm Drop (LPC020) – A structured yet understated design, perfect for the hallway.
Final Thoughts:
Mirko is delighted with the remarkable transformation, attributing his satisfaction to the exquisite products from Plaster Ceiling Roses and the skilled installation provided by CM Cornice Ltd. His experience underscores the significant effect that carefully selected coving can have on improving a space, demonstrating that period features can greatly enhance interior design.
