CSR Gyprock®, Australia’s leading plasterboard manufacturer, has added a new profile to its comprehensive range of decorative cornices. Offering an innovative dimension of style and detail, the new Opera™ cornice combines smooth flowing curves and distinctive modern lines, making it an instant option for Luxe and Contemporary interior styles. The timeless 90mm profile adds an architectural accent designed to bring a sense of sophistication and elegance to any room.

“This year we are going to see a new focus on cornices playing a key part in design – especially given the myriad of functional and aesthetic benefits they offer,” says Renae McGinty, Marketing Director, CSR Gyprock. “We’ve designed the Opera cornice with modern homeowners in mind, offering inspiration to complement interior design elements while defining the room and suiting a home’s individual style. The Opera cornice is a versatile choice, with its clean geometric lines offsetting a contemporary room, while its formal curves look right at home among period or Art Deco-inspired interiors.”

“When paired thoughtfully with other design features such as architraves, skirting boards, lighting and door hardware, cornices are emerging as an unexpected design hero, bringing sophistication and polish to every space. Visually, cornices instantly draw the eye upwards and appear to lift the ceiling, making rooms appear bigger. To extend the interior style of a room, cornices can be painted to match walls and skirting boards, resulting in a seamless design flow. Alternatively, to add interest, painting cornices in a contrasting colour to the walls can have a bold dramatic effect.”

To help homeowners visualise how an Opera cornice will suit their room, Gyprock’s innovative online tool, My Visualiser, allows them to experiment with cornice designs in real-time. Homeowners can test the Opera cornice in a variety of room styles with a choice of wall colour, ceiling height, lighting effects and accessories.

Additional features of Opera include:

Versatile 90mm profile featuring classical curves balanced with a sharp stepped border
Lightweight for easy installation and can be installed on plasterboard, fibrous plaster or cement rendered surfaces
Easy refresh: Opera cornice can be retrofitted over 55mm Cove cornice, giving an instant upgrade when elevating living spaces

With the launch of Opera™ cornice, Gyprock’s Inspiration range now offers eight different cornice profiles that complement emerging Australian interior style trends and provides an easy and cost-effective way to make a subtle or dramatic style statement in the home.

Gyprock cornices are Australian Made, and offer a 25-Year warranty. For more information on CSR Gyprock, please visit our website.
