Cornice lighting is a simple way to add modern cove lighting and soft accent light indoors, giving you a clean glow that can also wash down the wall for extra depth and atmosphere. This profile is made to house LED strip lighting (sold separately) and works beautifully with dimmable control, so you can set the mood from bright and practical to warm and subtle. It installs much like a standard cornice, and our team is here to help you plan the layout and choose the right strip lights for the effect you want.

This profile is ideal for living rooms and bedrooms. In a living room run it around the ceiling edge to create layered ambient lighting that gently bounces off walls and cuts glare from downlights. Above a bed it gives a subtle headboard halo that’s perfect for reading or winding down. With the light source hidden, the effect is even, indirect illumination that keeps the room feeling calm and finished.
