Now fabric combinations, brushes, lambrequins are still fashionable. But when choosing such attributes of the classics, it is better to focus on one thing, and not to cling everything to the windows, otherwise you risk being branded as a “magpie” that has no taste.

If you prefer hi-tech or minimalism, then everything is simple here - hang a veil or an ordinary canvas, it is desirable that it be plain and on rings - and nothing superfluous will cling to your eyes. This style does not favor heavy curtains and drapes. It is best to arrange everything easily and unobtrusively. A Roman or Japanese curtain will please the eye, as well as a multilayer veil.

Where to start choosing cornices

Before you go to the store, check out the existing offer, choose the one that suits you best, and only then decide on the artistic content.

It is necessary to find a compromise on the following indicators:

installation site (ceiling, wall);
method of fastening and design features;
material;
appearance.

Only by finding the "golden mean", you can enjoy the curtains without any sad thoughts.

Let's take a closer look at what types of cornices for curtains are.

Wall and ceiling

The first option is the most traditional, although interest in it does not wane. Wall cornices are favorites for those who want to create a special unique design your interior.

Ease of installation and design creativity - these are the advantages over the ceiling. In addition, this is the only solution in the case of tension or plasterboard ceilings in which the appropriate preparatory work for the installation was not carried out at the stage of repair.

Wall curtain rod

But there is a significant drawback - low safety, the risk of falling only increases with time due to the deterioration of fasteners and exposure to dust and dirt.

Of course, many wall-mounted designs are now made with a good ability to support even a large bracket load.

Ceiling cornices are now becoming more and more fashionable. There are reasons for this:

the ability to create any shapes and trajectories that are relevant for windows of irregular, semicircular shape, arches;
secure fastening due to better grip.

Ceiling curtain rod

But this solution also has disadvantages.

This is a rather boring creative component without much finesse. It's about about the usual rail along which the hooks move. A prerequisite is the presence of grooves in the flow provided during the installation of the ceiling.

If this is not done, you have to use a false panel.

But the amazing visual effect that is created when the curtains fall directly from the ceiling speaks in favor of ceiling fixations. Such a design trick is often used in small rooms to enlarge them visually.

Types depending on the design

In the question of how to choose a cornice for curtains, do not forget to consider the shape and method of fastening.

Tubular or their common variant - cantilever. Most often they are attached to the wall, and the curtains cling to the beam with hooks.
Recently, it has become fashionable to make hooks from the same fabric, thus creating a finished look for curtains. Most common problem tubular is that with constant movement along the tube, the rings are torn or broken, this is especially true for thin loops. Only string solutions can compare with it.
Strings can be attributed to the branching of the tubular. Since their fastening mechanism is identical, the only difference is that instead of the console, a tight string is stretched, on which the curtain is fixed.
The most budgetary and easiest option, especially when the string is hidden in decorative slats. Also available for ceiling and wall.
Profile have large functionality, because they are able to be attached both to the wall and to the ceiling, to acquire any shape.

They often make a partition to delimit zones in a room, and are also used for complex window shapes.

Material

Varieties of cornices for curtains by material

No less important indicator.

Metal solutions, more often from aluminum, but also from black steel, bronze, stainless steel. Only they have the power to withstand the full weight of large curtains.
The appearance that corresponds to the modern idea of the interior, high wear resistance are worthy reasons to choose metal for your home. But there is also a downside - the weight, which can provoke tearing off the mounting surface.
Wooden decorative cornices to this day remains one of the popular solutions for fastening curtains. They fit into eco-style, Country and even strict hi-tech, only white, black “steel-like” painting is suitable for this.
Sometimes, on the first impression, it is impossible to recognize a tree in an excellent imitation.
Plastic cornices for curtains are chosen for two reasons: affordable price and painting in any color, so you don’t have to worry about design inconsistencies. But the performance is not inferior to metal and wood.
On the other hand, with careful handling, they will be safe and sound for many years.

In addition, they can be divided according to the method of movement and the number of curtains that have the ability to simultaneously move. Sometimes such features are completely abandoned, fixing the curtain in one place. As a result, the appearance and quality indicators remain ideal for a very long time.

Design features

Original curtain rods

The appearance of the cornice often determines the atmosphere in the entire room.

Poorly selected options can ruin even perfect furniture. Classical ideas are characterized by tubular consoles with round hooks or, in the French manner, curtains attached directly to the fabric.

When fixing to the ceiling, special decorative niches are used, which look especially beautiful if you connect a warm LED backlight to it.

An alternative is a baguette model, which looks extremely rich with wooden carvings and a combination of noble materials - gold (gilding), leather, marble.

When decorating according to the classics, use brocade, velvet, do not forget about lambrequins.

But in interiors without pomposity, it is important to hide the cornice using a plastic tape that matches the color. It is often covered with wallpaper to make it fit into the concept more strongly.

The nature of the fastening is determined by the type of canvas, so even at the stage of selection, understand their variety.

For example, Japanese spurs, which are characterized by vertical webs along the entire length, will have completely different external features, or for French draperies, when light silk webs are collected.

The Japanese version or organza fabric is a good solution for minimalist designs, including modern concepts. Country dictates a sense of naturalness, so linen, cotton in pastel colors and wooden cornices are suitable, the latter can be imitations of plastic.

How to choose a good cornice color - How to choose a good cornice color

Consider the topic of how to choose good color eaves. One of the most important details of window design is the right cornice. It is the cornices that have the ability to emphasize all the advantages of the interior, change it, hide any flaws, and can ruin the most beautiful curtains.

That is why it is very important to approach the choice of a cornice with all responsibility.

Starting a more detailed consideration of the answer to the question of how to choose a good color for the cornice, we emphasize that on the right are the questions that have most interested our readers in recent times. First you need to choose a curtain rod that matches the curtains, strong enough to support their weight.

It is worth noting that you do not need to purchase plastic or soft metal curtain rods for the bedroom or living room, since these rooms often have rather voluminous and heavy curtains made of thick fabric. A fragile cornice in this case can easily, at least, bend, or even break, unable to withstand the weight of the curtains.

In such cases, it is best to choose a double or triple cornice.

When fixing the cornice above the window, its proportions visually change.
