After all, before equipping a house and an apartment, it is necessary to carefully consider the future interior.

Numerous types of cornices, as in the photo, allow you to choose the right item for your home. Attributes may differ in appearance. So, metal elements often contain forged or carved tips. Plastic curtain rods (types, photos) can have different colors: from neutral to bright and creative. And wooden parts may have unusual carvings or patterns on the surface. Therefore, the choice of cornice depends on the curtains and style direction in the interior.

How to combine curtain rods with curtains: a beautiful design with a photo



From the chosen material of the curtains, it depends which cornice you need to buy for the window. After all, the density, weight and dimensions of the curtains have big influence to other elements. So, for example, string cornices are designed for light curtains, tulle or organza.


Common curtains on the grommets are ideally combined with round cornices-rods. A special hole is put directly on the product. As a rule, such models are made of metal. Therefore, they are able to withstand the weight of even heavy curtains. This will ensure the reliability and durability of the entire structure.



Baguette cornices are ideal for rococo or baroque interiors. In addition, they can be used in classic rooms. Decorative carvings, golden ornaments and an unusual silhouette are perfectly combined with luxurious pieces of furniture. Such a cornice should be located in a conspicuous place. You can complement the image with light pastel-colored curtains.


Plastic curtain rods are very popular because of their variety. In addition, the structures are lightweight and can take any shape. So, a popular option is a model with a curved configuration for bay windows. Such cornices are ideal for arched or dormer windows.



Designs are suitable for any style: minimalism, modern, hi-tech or classic. The main thing is to carefully study the cornices for curtains, views, photos. After that, you can safely go to the store for the product. After all, a properly selected cornice can radically transform a familiar design.

A strange question, you say - of course, only the cornice that is better. Fair remark. But after all, each person has his own requirements for the best and his own criteria for selecting it. So let's first be more specific about the problem. So…

Where does the need to choose a new cornice come from?

When does it become necessary to choose and buy a new curtain rod?

Personally, only a few banal options come to my mind:

The first one is the most clear to me.- the repair was completed, I wanted a complete renovation, everything old was thrown into the trash, new curtains were bought in the color of freshly painted walls and certainly matching the color of the new sofa, but bad luck, the old cornice was sent to the trash and there is nothing to hang curtains on. Even goosebumps ran down my back from such a thought - there is nothing to hang curtains on! Let's look for something to hang on.

Second case- You wanted low-budget, but visible and most importantly quick changes in the interior. The easiest way to quickly transform your home is to replace the old curtains with fresh ones. But the old cornice, the bastard, does not fit the new curtains. We need to find and choose a new one. We will look for the right one.

Another working option- the search for a cornice is associated with its breakdown. And here is an example - a neighbor came in the day before, well, they sat for a bit .... then a little more and already well after midnight he got up from the table with the help of curtains, it was already time to go home, because tomorrow he had to work. Yes ... the cornice turned out to be rather weak. They told you, buy iron! Let's look for a strong one.

And finally- your cornice is not in fashion now. For men, this is an exclusive option, usually they smoke nervously from such words (even if they don’t smoke), and sometimes they can shed a tear. For the beautiful half of humanity, this is quite real case. Well, let's look for fashionable.

The problem is marked. We need a curtain rod for curtains, new, suitable, strong and fashionable. Let's figure out now how to choose it correctly.

What are curtain rods

To begin with, I will briefly describe the options from which we will subsequently choose.

There is no generally accepted classification of curtain rods for curtains. Therefore, I divided the cornices by type, using for this their main, and most importantly significant differences.

What cornices for curtains are depending on the material

Curtain rods are made from three main materials - wood, metal and PVC. The same goes for combinations of these materials.

Wooden curtain rods


This type is the oldest and therefore the most proven method of attaching curtains. Usually, for the manufacture of wooden cornices, pine, linden, walnut, less often oak, beech and cherry are used.

The advantages of wooden cornices include

  • their environmental friendliness, for many people this is the most important factor when choosing a cornice
  • attractive - natural appearance, wood goes well with most interior materials and styles
  • long service life, subject to the conditions of proper operation

The disadvantages of wood cornices include

  • limited options for attaching curtains to the cornice - a wooden cornice, as a rule, has a tubular shape and not all types of curtains can be fixed to the pipe
  • the tree has a rather large weight, which will require reinforced fasteners for the cornice
  • the tree does not like moisture and temperature changes - under their influence it can change size and shape, crack or swell
  • high price - natural wooden cornices are far from the budget price

Curtain rods made of metal


Cornices of this group can be made of different metals. In the production of budget models, aluminum and duralumin are used. For more sophisticated cornices, bronze, steel, chrome steel are used.

Advantages of metal cornices

  • exceptional strength and durability
  • ecological cleanliness
  • good product appearance and easy maintenance
  • good aesthetic compatibility with any materials in the interior
  • metal cornices have different types of profiles and as a result have a variety of options for attaching curtains to the cornice

Disadvantages of metal cornices

  • Great weight, especially models made of bronze and products made by forging. The heavy weight of the cornice will require strong supporting structures to which the cornice will be attached. For example, fixing a bronze cornice to a plasterboard wall will not work without additional effort.
  • High price - yes, for good quality will have to splurge.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cornices


Plastic cornices are made of artificial material- polyvinyl chloride. If the product was manufactured at an official enterprise, and has a quality certificate, then with a high probability such a cornice will not harm your health. And, if the product does not have documents confirming the origin, you should think about whether it can be brought into your home. When buying, pay attention to this.

PVC cornices in appearance often imitate cornices made of expensive materials - wood and metal. You can save a lot on this.

Advantages of plastic cornices

  • The largest, among other types of cornices, a variety of shapes, types of available profiles and an abundance of colors.
  • Light weight and ease of installation.
  • Low price– PVC curtain rods are the cheapest in the category.

Disadvantages of PVC curtain rods

  • Artificial origin, low class of environmental cleanliness, especially against the background of competitors made of wood and metal.
  • It is highly combustible, when burned, formaldehydes are poisonous and dangerous to humans.
  • Quite fragile, many types, especially tubular ones, have a weak bearing load. Hanging a heavy thick curtain on such a cornice will not work, it simply cannot withstand and break.

What types of curtain rods exist depending on the type of construction

The design of the cornice will ultimately affect its durability and finish. In this troupe, I identified the following subspecies:

Tubular cornices


In such cornices, the pipe is the main element of the supporting structure. Pipes can be made from any material - wood, metal or plastic. The curtain is hung with the help of special devices attached to the eaves pipe. For example, it can be rings, loops or eyelets.

Tubular cornices can have different pipe diameters. Depending on the material of the eaves, the diameter can be from 10 to 40 mm.

A tubular cornice may consist of one or more (usually no more than two) rows of pipes. In double-row cornices, one pipe is used for hanging curtains, the second for attaching curtains. In addition, in double-row cornices, pipes can have different diameters, for example, a pipe for attaching curtains will be thinner than the main one.

Tubular cornices are self-sufficient in terms of design and do not require additional decoration of the facade. The decor is used only on the side ends of the pipes. It can be balls, cubes, petals and similar elements.

When choosing a tubular cornice, it is better to take models in which the pipe fits freely into the mounting bracket and can be easily removed. But models in which the pipe must be threaded into the bracket ring are not convenient both during installation and when removing curtains.

Advantages of tubular cornices

  • simplicity and reliability of design
  • high strength (excluding PVC cornices)
  • original and concise design

Disadvantages of tubular cornices

  • Limited number of options for attaching the curtain to the cornice
  • Pretty massive size and significant weight

Cornices with guide profiles


This type of cornice "carries" the curtains with the help of special profiles - guides, to which the fasteners of the curtains - hooks, suspensions or rings are fixed. Professionals also call such eaves tire. But this name reminds me of car tires, so I will call them more understandable, so to speak, in a folk way, profile.

Profile cornice guides can be arranged in several rows, which makes it possible to make the curtains multi-layered. The profile can be made of metal or plastic. There are flexible profiles that can be given any shape. Profile cornices may contain additional elements that serve to round off corners along the edges of the cornice. Profile cornices are usually fixed to the ceiling. Although there are wall-mounted models, they will require special brackets.

Profile cornices require additional decoration in the front. Usually the profile is hidden behind a hanging baguette or hidden between ceiling levels.

Advantages of profile cornices

  • They have a variety of fasteners for hanging curtains
  • They contain several rows for fastening curtains, while they have compact size and light weight
  • There are flexible models
  • They don't have a high price.

Disadvantages of profile cornices

  • Requires additional decoration
  • Restriction on the possibility of attaching the eaves. Usually can only be fixed to the ceiling.

string cornices


AT recent times are quite rare. In string cornices, the supporting element is a metal string or a thin metal cable tightly stretched on the guides. Elements for fixing the curtains are fixed on the string. The strings can be arranged in several rows.

The main disadvantage in my opinion, is the complexity of the installation of such cornices. To the virtues I would attribute their compactness and original appearance

Baguette cornices


This is another group of cornices similar in design. A two-in-one option. Baguette cornices are already equipped with a decorative front panel. Often, the baguette cornice, in addition to the front part, also covers the side walls of the structure with decor. The curtain is framed like a painting. But for hanging curtains, a baguette cornice can contain both profiles with guides and pipes. Baguette cornice can be both single-row and multi-row. In my opinion, the baguette option is suitable for classic styles interior. It is unlikely that it will be appropriate in the interior in high-tech or minimalist styles.

Advantages of baguette cornices

  • They have an aesthetically finished appearance, do not require additional decoration
  • Can contain one or more rows

Disadvantages of baguette cornices

  • Have significant weight
  • Not very easy to install
  • Have a higher price
  • Suitable only for certain styles of interiors

Mini cornices

This type of cornice is fixed directly to the window frame or very close to the side edges of the window. They are mainly used for kitchen curtains. Cafe curtains. Such cornices usually have a tubular design and are made of metal or wood or PVC.

Advantages of mini cornices small size and light weight

Disadvantages of mini curtain rods limited scope, usually used only in kitchens or for door decoration

What cornices for curtains are there depending on the method of their installation

  • Cornices that are attached to the ceiling
  • Cornices with wall mounting


The choice of a cornice according to this criterion depends primarily on the strength of the load-bearing structures in your room. If in your room suspended ceiling or plasterboard ceiling, it will be easier to fix the wall cornice.

Which curtain rods can be distinguished by the type of curtain movement control

Here I mean the way you will open and close the curtains. Are there any mechanical or electronic devices in the curtain controls. On this basis, three groups of cornices can be distinguished:

  • manually operated cornices opening the curtains - he took the canvas with his hand and pulled, that's the whole mechanism
  • cornices with mechanical control- when the opening occurs with the help of mechanisms that are controlled mechanically. For example, by turning a cane or pulling a chain or cord
  • curtain rods with automatic control. curtains are opened by an electric motor, which can be controlled from the remote control

With the description of the species, this can be completed. Now you have an idea about what kind of cornices are. you can go to the main criteria that you need to use for right choice eaves.

How to choose a curtain rod. What you need to pay attention to

To make it easier for you to understand, I did step by step instructions how to choose a cornice

The first step is an assessment, and what will be the curtains

Obviously, you need a cornice for hanging curtains. Therefore, first of all, you need to understand what specific curtains you plan to use, namely:

  • estimated model of curtains - what elements in the composition of curtains will be used - lambrequins, pickups, etc. ()
  • number of rows in the composition of curtains - one or more
  • splendor of curtains (number and volume of folds on curtains)
  • the total weight of all curtains and their decorative elements. The type of material and the type of cornice design depend on the weight of the curtains.
  • the expected width of the curtain composition, for example, the width of the window or the width of the wall. Do not confuse it with the width of the curtain fabric. ()

Step two - choose the size of the cornice

A couple of notes first

  • We are used to the concept of width when talking about the width of a window or the width of a wall. At the cornice this parameter called the length.
  • Standard size The cornice has a length of up to three meters. If you need a longer cornice, you can extend it. For this, there are special docking profiles that allow you to connect several cornices into one. Do not forget that with a large length, you will need to buy additional mounting brackets in order to further secure the cornice and protect it from sagging. Optimum distance between mounting brackets 1.0 -1.2 meters
  • Another important point . The eaves have a working area within which curtains can be fixed. In some models, for example, tubular, this zone is less than the length of the cornice itself due to the fact that part of the cornice is occupied by a bracket-fastener.

So, based on the foregoing, the required length of the cornice will depend

  1. from the width of the curtain composition you chose in the first step.
  2. from the size of the working area of ​​the eaves

In general, the total length of the eaves should be greater than or equal to its working area.


The third step is choosing the type of cornice

At this stage, it remains to choose a cornice according to the type of material and design. I have already described all the options above.

  • If the weight of the curtains is significant, it is better to use models made of metal or wood.
  • If several rows of curtains are expected, then profile options for cornices are preferable
  • If you want to minimize the space occupied by the cornice, use ceiling models of profile cornices
  • If you have an unusual window shape, you can use flexible rail cornices

Which curtain rod is better

The answer to this question depends on your case and your requirements. The best one for you will be the one that suits your curtains. We have already discussed all the nuances of choice above. And if you look at the question conceptually, then you can make a micro rating is the best in the category. So:

  • Back

When it comes to the design of the room, the selection of textiles is necessarily implied. It should be fixed on special curtain rods, photo which today flooded the Internet. The question of how to choose a cornice is not as simple as it seems. The whole point is this.

If the selection of the cornice is unsuccessful, the appearance of the curtain will suffer. If you pick up multilayer curtains and buy a thin cornice, the design risks failing. To avoid such unpleasant moments, this issue should be approached as responsibly as possible.

Types and sizes of cornices

Cornices are classified according to different criteria:



How to correctly determine the size of the eaves?

In order for the product to last for a long time and not bend, it is necessary to take into account how much the curtains weigh. Accordingly, it is necessary to select the thickness of the eaves for the material.

Did you know: light tulle curtains are suitable for curtain rods with a diameter of 10-16 mm, products with a diameter of 20-25 mm can withstand medium-weight textiles, but for thick curtains, the diameter of the holder must be at least 28 mm.

Regarding the length of the product, then first you need to decide on the principle of window design. If it is required to carry out a visual expansion of the window opening, the cornice should be taken longer than the width of the opening. Thus, the curtain will be able to visually increase the window and the throughput of the light flux. When the window opening is too large for the room, purchase a cornice according to its width.

For dense curtains and tulle, you need to buy double cornices, and if a lambrequin is also provided, triple ones. Since the lambrequin will overlap the top of the window, you need to fix the cornice under the ceiling.

Appointment of cornices by models

  • Round holders with an amazing design, they are made of brass, various types of wood, and stainless steel. Thanks to the variety of styles, it is easy to choose a ceiling and wall mount.

The range of modern round cornices consists of retro, children's and classic models. All of them are selected according to the general style of the room and are distinguished by a concise and elegant appearance.

  • Forged cornices- the most durable option. This product can withstand any weight of curtains. This work of art should be bought only if the interior has some other forged details.
  • Baguette type cornice You can choose from a huge variety - old, simple, Provencal, creative. These models have always been distinguished by their versatility and different patterns and design elements. Most of all, they are suitable for a room where curtains are combined with tulle.
  • Cornice Cafe due to its weightlessness and simplicity, it is often chosen to give the interior an exclusive look.
  • Original cornices are necessary for attaching unusual types of curtains - Roman and French, as well as for decorating skylights. Such cornices are created on an individual order, and the curtains are controlled manually and with a remote control.
  • string cornices used for light veils. They are made of metal or plastic. High Quality different color.


How do you fix room imperfections with curtains?

If you choose the right cornices, you can correct the shortcomings of the space. For rooms with low ceilings, it is better to purchase a cornice that is attached directly to the ceiling so that the room visually appears taller.

When the window has the shape of an arch, you need to select profile cornices. Since the cornice is an element modern interior, you need to choose it, paying attention to the size, shade, model and material.

If the room has a laminate or parquet, and the doors and furniture match it in color, the cornice should be purchased wooden. Wooden models are chosen to decorate the bedroom, living room and dining room of a simple style.

Possibilities of a profile cornice

Flexible cornices deserve special attention, because they are considered the most popular. The main advantage of the product has always been considered the ability to bend in different planes. This property allows many design solutions for window decoration.

These curtain holders are attached to the ceiling or to the wall, and therefore they are invisible. If you want to hide the plastic, you should buy a lambrequin or a decorative bar. In this case, it is necessary that the cornice be combined in scale with the design of the room.

Did you know: there is a type of profile holder - an angular flexible cornice, used specifically for bay windows and niches. It clearly repeats the silhouette of the window.

In addition, holders for Japanese and Roman curtains are classified as profile cornices. This product consists of special tracks, as well as a curtain control system (automatic or manual in the form of a cord and a cane). The material is attached thanks to an adhesive tape that facilitates its removal.


How to attach curtains when there is a stretch ceiling in the room?

Almost everyone believes that after installing a stretch ceiling, curtains can only be attached to the wall cornice. This is not true at all.

  • During the installation of a stretch ceiling, it is worth providing a niche for a hidden cornice, and not bringing the structure directly to the wall. Thus, the appearance is created, as if the textile is falling directly from the ceiling.
  • Another method of fastening is the installation of a cornice on special mortgages hiding behind the ceiling.
  • The use of a standard cornice, which is mounted on the wall above the window, is another mounting option.

As for the method of attaching the curtain to the cornice, rings are very popular. In addition, textiles are worn through eyelets or clips.

Tip: when choosing a cornice, pay attention to how the hooks slide along it. If you have to make an effort to move them, the curtains will quickly become unusable.

How to combine cornice and curtains?

It is best to attach the classic type of curtains to a multi-row plastic or metal tire, since they are mainly combined with tulle. A string cornice will not be able to withstand such a load and will sag under heavy material.


On the cornice rod with a square and round section, curtains with eyelets are hung, since they are attached precisely to the bar. The forged product looks original, which has interesting tips.

Did you know: using a ceiling cornice, it is possible to “lift” the ceiling visually.

To hide the ceiling cornice, they make a niche, especially if there is a hanging plasterboard ceiling. These niches necessarily have LED backlighting.

When the curtains cannot be hidden in a niche, in order to hide the fasteners, a baguette cornice is used, encrusted with carvings, imitating leather and other materials, and also veneered with different types of trees.


Thanks to flexible radius or corner cornices, door arches are formed and delicate canopies are attached above the beds.

Tip: if necessary, a standard plastic ceiling-type cornice can be supplemented with the necessary elements.

Roman blinds are attached to the cornices with a lifting mechanism or on a bar and railing without its use. In this case, the curtain is created from translucent or transparent textiles, and the lower part is fixed by lifting it by several folds.


Accessories for cornices

With the use of stylish and multifunctional fittings for cornices, you can correctly focus on the window, as well as transform the space. It allows you to create an individual image of any room.

  • Clip-on magnets - allow you to beautifully drape curtains without using ribbons and bows. Modern clip-on models are made in the form decorative stones, flowers, key rings. When they are fastened, a ring is formed where the curtain is threaded.
  • Brackets - this element can not only be hidden from view, but also make them a window decoration. A minimum of two brackets are required per cornice, and the holder can be attached to the ceiling, window frame and wall above the opening.
  • Tips- plugs with an exclusively practical purpose. With their help, the material will never fly off the eaves. Given the huge variety of species, tips are often used today as an element of decoration.

Tip: if you want to hang thick curtains, get forged cornices and tips.

Those who prefer extraordinary solutions should purchase tips that are significantly different in material and shape from the cornice. For example, buy a glass, forged, ceramic element for a wooden bar. The country style is ideally complemented by tips made of rattan and leather or branches and cones.


  • Eyelets- This detail has gained incredible popularity in our time. They help to create a unique drapery and are characterized by high practicality.

Tip: you need to select eyelets taking into account the severity of the curtains, and therefore for heavier curtains, the choice should be stopped on metal fittings.

In addition to standard round eyelets, today you can purchase products in the form of dolphins, flowers, anchors, funny little animals. Such style decision Ideal for decorating windows in a nursery. Eyelets made of plastic are considered the most practical because after washing they do not leave marks and scratches on the material, unlike metal options.


Choosing the right cornice is a chance to prove yourself as a fashion designer. This interesting adventure will help you make sure that the details in the interior play a very important role. With the help of a properly selected cornice, you can significantly transform the room and set the appropriate tone for it.

October 09

To grasp the essence of the purpose of the cornice, you need to turn to the history of its occurrence. The basis of its creation is the desire to maintain the curtains in a beautiful position, however, it has another functional load. Later, historically, it so happened that curtain rods began to be used as part of the interior, along with some decorative inclusions. Because of this, the process of choosing this element of the home has turned into a long and complicated matter.

It is difficult for a person unfamiliar with the planning of beautiful rooms, bedrooms, hallways and other parts of apartments, houses and other premises to understand all the intricacies of existing materials, forms, since they are now in abundance on the market. However, our nordrus website will help you with this difficult issue. After reviewing the further information, you can choose the most suitable option.

Modern options for cornices for curtains are very diverse.

It doesn't matter what kind of cornice you like because of its shape, design, decorative elements. The main thing is to pay attention to its reliability. Most likely, you have already encountered torn off cornices, and there is definitely no desire to see all this. Of course, adding a beautiful element of housing is very nice, but safety is still more important.


Pay attention to the integrity of the entire structure of the eaves. This is important to ensure the safety of its installation, as well as the correct fit into the current interior. For example, wooden cornices that do not have a lush finish are particularly interesting and look based on the classic version of the interior, plastic cornice options are suitable for high-tech styling, forged with added tips are convenient for an empire style solution, but other metal options will be in place for decoration sustained in style - a modernist style.


It is also important to consider the type of cornice, since the same thin version of the string cornice is not able to withstand the weight of heavy curtains, and will also look illogical along with a dense version of the curtains. If there is a desire to add tulle, then it is better to turn to the use of a two-row version of the cornice, for the correct location of the lambrequin, you will need another row along with additional hooks, which is why it is worth checking the presence of a triple holder. It would seem that such simple nuances, however, they can cause headaches at home after purchase. Therefore, it is necessary to decide in advance on the type of eaves that you want to purchase.


How to choose a curtain rod for curtains is the main question of many people who have bought beautiful curtain. When choosing a cornice, you can make rather stupid mistakes that can completely distort the entire interior, as if highlighting its unsightly places. For example, by hanging some kind of curtains in a fairly small room based on the width of the window, you can make it look even smaller. To avoid this, it will be correct to purchase a cornice located between the walls. For it, you should use light and at the same time perfectly draped versions of the curtains. With the help of such a trick, you can significantly expand the visible available space of the room, and it will not seem small and miserable.

Another mistake often concerns the choice of lambrequins. In apartments created on the basis of an outdated style using small windows, they like to use curtains using lambrequins. In this case, the cornice is usually installed above the window. A hard or some soft version of the used lambrequin in this version is able to take up most of the upper level of the window, thereby creating a strong darkening of the room making it even darker. To eliminate this problem, special ceiling cornices for curtains are used. Due to this, the selected lambrequin will be able to provide normal lighting for the room, as it will be in harmony with the interior.


What versions of curtain rods can be used for curtains

1. Based on the mounting option, they are divided into ceiling curtain rods and wall curtain rods.
2. According to the type of material, they are divided into metal curtain rods, as well as plastic and even wooden ones.
3. Based on the configuration, there are profile cornices, cornices in the form of some strings and baguette versions.
4. Depending on the number of rows used, they come with one, two or three rows.


Wooden holders are considered to be the most demanded, as they more often than others provide decoration for our houses and apartments. Simple versions of the round versions of wooden cornices can be used for any type of interior, however, all their qualities are best suited for a classic wooden style. Usually they try to combine the color of the cornice and other elements with the shades of the floors, doors and everything that is nearby. Thus, it is possible to create the same type and very quality look interior.


Metal cornices for curtains, created on the basis of aluminum, stainless steel or brass, can highlight the individual style of the interior of the room, adding a touch of special rigor and even some simple conciseness. But if this version of the holder is also used with a figured version of the tip, then it will definitely lose some noticeable stiffness. Using metal cornices, curtains are usually hung on some rings or beautiful eyelets are used.


Forged cornices are distinguished by their special originality and even unforgettable unusualness. However, they are rarely available for sale. They are made to order, taking into account the wishes of customers. Taking into account some versions of the tips used, such options are suitable for interiors based on styles: empire, modern, gothic, as well as baroque. They should not be classified as concise options, since they are only suitable for sophisticated interiors or even elite ones.

If you are only concerned about the price then pay attention to the plastic versions of the curtain rods. It is usually convenient to style them under a tree using different color schemes. It will be easy to choose this option to fit into classic interior. You can complement this version of curtain rods with a photo of a loved one located nearby.


Profile cornices offer quite a wide range of possibilities

As a kind of digression, it is necessary to highlight the profile version of flexible curtain rods, since now they have become popular in terms of improving the interior in the window area. They differ in their property - to bend on the basis of two planes. This opens up an additional set of various design tricks that are used to create the appearance of a given space. They can be mounted to the wall or even the ceiling potolkov31.ru/page/index/24, which makes them very integrated into the overall interior creating a chameleon effect. If you have to hide the presence of ugly white plastic, then an ordinary lambrequin or even decorative option some baguette strip. It is important to ensure the correct combination of the baguette version of the cornice and other noticeable room interiors.


A flexible curtain rod can be considered another type of profile holder for curtains that can be used for akers and other niches. With their help, you can always quite successfully emphasize the special shape of the window. To do this, turn the corner of the holder 90 degrees towards the wall.


The class of profile options for cornices, of course, should also include all types of hanging options for curtains created in the Roman and Japanese style. They are created on the basis of two or five tracks, a system for controlling curtains with a cord, canes. And, in general, this class can be offered on the basis of automation. The fabric is attached to the guides with some kind of adhesive tape. This approach guarantees easy removal.
