Our Master Bedroom has a windows on each wall in a corner and high ceilings. Installing a corner window cornice will tie the windows together. A window cornice also allows me to hang curtains and rods I already have lower on the wall so the curtains brush the floor and give the illusion the curtains are custom length. Sneaky!
I got even more sneaky when I made my expensive looking custom corner cornice out of a free cardboard box! Here's how I made it.
I got even more sneaky when I made my expensive looking custom corner cornice out of a free cardboard box! Here's how I made it.
You will need:
I used the tape measure to determine how tall, long, and deep I wanted each side of of the corner window cornice to be. My cornices are 9 inches wide and 8 inches deep.
I taped the valances together at the corner with heavy duty tape and reinforced the joins with a heavy duty staple gun as needed.
. I padded the valance in felt and used a heavy duty staple gun to staple the felt into place. I wrapped the corners like a present and stapled them into place.
I put the bed dust ruffle on the cornice and arranged it so the knife pleats in the dust ruffle are in the corner and each end of the corner cornice, cut away the excess fabric, and stapled the dust ruffle into place.

I think a thin wood might do a longer lasting job. It does look good though.

Lovely and so efficient. Just a couple of little questions. What do you use/do to keep it clean? I'm assuming you don't take it down once in a while to wash it? 😀
