Custom Window Cornices in Floresville, TX
Sometimes a window treatment just needs a finishing touch. A cornice is that touch. It frames your window, hides hardware, and pulls the whole room together in a way that nothing else quite does. At IMS Blind Co in Floresville, TX, we carry custom wood and fabric cornices built to fit your windows and your style. Call us today at (830) 216-5422 to schedule your free in-home consultation.
What Is a Window Cornice?
A window cornice is a decorative box mounted at the top of a window. It sits above your blinds, shades, or drapes and covers the hardware, brackets, and any gaps between the treatment and the ceiling. Beyond hiding the mechanics, a cornice adds height, structure, and a polished look that makes a room feel more intentional and complete.
Is a cornice the same as a valance? Not exactly. A valance is typically made of soft fabric and hangs loosely. A cornice is a structured box, usually made of wood or wrapped in fabric, that mounts firmly above the window. Cornices give a cleaner, more tailored look than most valances.
What Cornices Can Do for Your Room
Most homeowners don't realize how much a cornice changes a room until they see one installed. It is one of those details that makes everything else look better.
Here is what a custom cornice adds to your space:
- Hides curtain rods, brackets, and mounting hardware
- Covers gaps between window treatments and the ceiling
- Adds visual height to make ceilings feel taller
- Brings a finished, custom look to any window
- Works with blinds, shades, shutters, and drapery
- Adds character and style without overwhelming the room
Our Cornice Options
We carry custom cornices in two primary materials. Both can be tailored to match your existing window treatments, wall colors, and overall design direction.
Wood Cornices
Wood cornices bring a clean, structured look to any window. They work well in traditional, transitional, and even modern spaces depending on the finish and profile you choose. A painted wood cornice can blend seamlessly into the wall, while a stained finish adds warmth and contrast.
Wood cornices are a great fit for:
- Living rooms, dining rooms, and formal spaces
- Homeowners who want a crisp, architectural look
- Spaces where the cornice should blend into the wall or ceiling
- Anyone pairing a cornice with wood shutters or structured blinds
Fabric Cornices
Fabric cornices are wrapped or upholstered in your choice of material, making them a natural companion for drapery, Roman shades, and softer window treatments. They add texture, color, and warmth to a room without feeling heavy or overdone.
Fabric cornices work well for the following:
- Bedrooms, sitting rooms, and softer spaces
- Homeowners who want to tie in fabric colors from drapery or bedding
- Rooms that need warmth and texture at the window line
- Anyone looking for a cozy, layered look

Frequently Asked Questions
Do cornices work with any type of window treatment?
Yes. Cornices work with blinds, shades, shutters, and drapery. They are one of the most versatile finishing elements you can add to a window.
Can a cornice make my ceilings look taller?
It can. Mounting a cornice close to the ceiling and extending it above the window frame draws the eye upward and makes the ceiling feel higher than it actually is.
Do you offer custom sizes for unusual windows?
Yes. Every cornice we carry is custom made to fit your specific windows. We measure on site so you get a precise fit every time.
What is the difference between a wood and fabric cornice?
A wood cornice has a painted or stained finish and gives a clean, structured look. A fabric cornice is wrapped in upholstery material and adds softness and texture. Both are custom-built to fit your windows.
How long does cornice installation take?
Most cornice installations are completed within about one week of your consultation and measurement.
