Coving & Sloped Ceiling???
3 years ago
Hi,
We’re in middle of extension of 1930s house and bought coving for all rooms downstairs
Our new office has a sloped ceiling at the front and we’re not sure how to handle coving in this room? It’s not a clear cut angle, more sloping.
Appreciate we could leave coving but we would like it if possible.
Pics to help get an idea of the room
I’ve tried googling but strangely can’t see many examples!!

coving or no coving
Comments (2)I guess it depends, among other things, on the style and period of the house. What period was it built?...See MoreTo cove or not to cove?
Comments (8)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....See MoreRoom with pitched roof and flat ceiling or sloping ceiling?
Comments (19)i like Jethro's idea - and I wouldn't have velux windows in bedroom unless you think it's going to be a really dark room just with the regular windows. definitely add velux in bathroom though. we are extending and keeping the pitched ceilings in bedroom and ensuite, gives a not-huge room a bit more wow factor and less of a box. yes more difficult to position lights and probably to heat too, but worth it i think. ceiling height plays a huge part in how you feel in a room so should always try and maximise wherever possible (within reason, keeping to human scale)...See MoreCoving or no coving?
Comments (1)I think if its the only room with coving then you can safely remove it so that it all looks continuous. It might make the ceiling look slightly higher too as it would elongate the walls a bit. If your house was Georgian, Victorian or Edwardian I would give you the opposite advice. To play devils advocate it's always easier to paint the walls a different colour to the ceiling if you have coving to stop against....See More- 3 years ago
It can be done if your set on it, just requires a bit of math and an angle finder!
I’d avoid anything too chunky or ornate.

As Wumi said , it can be done . You need to get the angles right and fill in any gaps .
