What is a "cornice"?

A cornice is a type of window treatment that is used for decorative purposes and is typically installed at the top of a window. Cornices are usually made of wood, foam, or other materials, and are designed to add style and interest to a room while concealing the hardware used to hang curtains or blinds. They can be mounted on their own or in combination with other window treatments, such as curtains or shades. Cornices come in a variety of styles and designs, from simple and understated to ornate and elaborate, and can be customized to fit any window size or shape. They are a popular choice for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms, where they can enhance the overall decor of the space and provide a finishing touch to the window treatment. Cornices can also be upholstered with fabric to match other decor elements in the room.
