Hello Emma, Please don't get rid of these... You can still have a really ultra modern interior in a period setting... In fact for example Victorian and Georgian period buildings look amazing with a modern look... It all just depends on what you choose. Also you may wish to make a feature of these by choosing really bold colours to enhance these features.. .. : ))

Hi George, What a great property, coming along nicely. I agree with sksj1 - it is not essential to have one now. I would go for the picture rail now and save until you can afford to have it done properly in the style that matches the space. You also then have time to shop around and get things in sales or if you are using an interior designer somewhere in the property, they would be able to sort something for you and use trade discounts etc. If you are set on one of the two choices you have shown above then the larger one will have more of an impact - the other one may get lost which might look odd with the taller and detailed skirting I see there. I hope this helps but if I can be have further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me. Regards, Gina

I have the same dilema and my extension looks more or less the same as yours. I really want coving as it doesnt feel fnished without it. Im not sure whether to cove up to the apex and stop?… can I ask what you ended up doing please?

I agree with Victoria - it all depends on the house. If it’s a Victorian property with high ceilings and the original coving has been ripped out, then yes - replacing it would be great. However if it’s a more modern property with lower ceilings, don’t add something that wouldn’t have been there. Personally I really don’t like it when modern properties have had fake historic features added - it looks a bit odd, and it could even devalue your property.
