Here we have a living room and a dining room side by side with the living room being very spacious with lots of windows and light and the dining room long and narrow. We designed a shaped cornice, just to give it a little more interest, and added contrasting solid stationary drapery panels in the living room to fill in the space. The draperies were tied back to reveal the lovely backyard. With less room in the dining room the same shaped cornice was created and piping was used from the same contrast fabric in the living room to define the cornice tying both rooms together.
