The Metropolis Iron™ Exclusive Cornice Mount Application

Cornice boards have long been a favorite design element for adding architectural structure and elegance to a window. Traditionally, a cornice board hides curtain rods or hardware while providing a finished, tailored look. But what if the hardware itself could become part of the design?

With the Metropolis Iron™ exclusive cornice mount application, drapery medallions do more than hold fabric—they become a decorative embellishment that elevates the entire window treatment.

A New Way to Design a Cornice Board

Instead of relying solely on fabric, trim, or upholstery details, decorative drapery medallions can be installed across the face of a cornice board to add texture, dimension, and architectural character.

In this design, Urban Forge Ruffled Drapery Medallions are mounted directly onto the cornice board, creating a striking decorative pattern that enhances the entire window treatment. The sculpted ruffled design introduces depth and visual interest while maintaining a cohesive iron hardware aesthetic.

The result is a layered window treatment that feels custom, intentional, and truly unique.

The Urban Forge Ruffled Drapery Medallion

The Urban Forge Ruffled Drapery Medallion features a sculpted circular design with a softly ruffled edge that adds subtle movement and texture to the window. Finished in a classic blackened iron tone, the medallion complements a wide range of interior styles—from traditional and transitional spaces to modern farmhouse and industrial-inspired interiors.

At 5 inches in diameter, the medallions are large enough to make a decorative statement while remaining proportional to most cornice board designs.

When spaced evenly across a cornice, they create a rhythmic architectural accent that draws the eye upward and highlights the structure of the window.

Exclusive Metropolis Iron™ Cornice Mount System

What makes this application unique is the exclusive Metropolis Iron two-piece wall mount bracket system.

Rod-Free Window Treatment Possibilities

One of the most exciting aspects of using drapery medallions with a cornice mount is the opportunity to create rod-free curtain installations.

Instead of relying on a traditional curtain rod, the fabric can be elegantly draped and styled directly from the medallions themselves. This technique creates soft swoops, gathered folds, and layered fabric effects that feel both classic and innovative.

Rod-free installations are especially popular for:

• decorative cornice board designs
• European-style drapery installations
• designer window treatments
• custom interior design projects
• statement windows

The combination of a structured cornice board and decorative medallions creates a window treatment that is both functional and artistic.

Architectural Detail That Makes a Statement

Adding drapery medallions to a cornice board instantly elevates the design of a room. Rather than blending into the background, the window treatment becomes a focal point that reflects craftsmanship and thoughtful design.

The Urban Forge Ruffled Drapery Medallion brings together texture, metalwork, and architectural form in a way that feels timeless and distinctive.

When paired with soft neutral drapery panels and decorative trim, the result is a window treatment that feels layered, luxurious, and visually balanced.
