Curtains and cornices in the interior - for and against
Undoubtedly, the necessary element of decorating the windows are curtains and cornices. Over time, the cornice bars in the form of a simple bar with primitive hooks and rings for fastening curtains and curtains safely transformed into interesting decorations of the ceiling and walls.
Market offers abound in the ceiling cornices for curtains, which can be selected for any style of the interior of the room. But it is necessary to choose and select cornices correctly, because plastic cornices or flexible radial fastening systems are not always appropriate.
Some European countries completely abandoned curtains and cornices. The unaccustomed nature of the bare windows and the complete absence of theatrical curtains, dust and odor accumulators, a little shocking its transparency.
The exciting mystery of the not-so-curtained window "from there" beckons and scares.
But behind this, probably, is the European practicality of living, to which we so secretly seek.
In the meantime, let's return to our curtains, curtains and lambrequins, as well as cornices for metal curtains.
What types of cornices exist
Curtain rails are classified by the method of fixing to the plane, the material from which the cornice is made and the appearance.
According to the method of fixing to the plane, the curtain rods are divided into wall and ceiling.
way of fixing: from walls to ceiling
For curtain rails for wall curtains, metal and plastic single or multi-row profiles are characteristic. For hanging curtains or hailstones use traditional hooks, eyelets and straps with a contact tape-Velcro. Suspension of curtains is carried out on a bar of round or square cross-section from the facilitated aluminum or strong plastic.
Wallcoverings are recognized as the most reliable type of cornices. Simple form and no less simple method of installation allow using such devices for a long time, excluding problems with the use of curtains (daily opening-closing and washing). Classics of the genre was considered and is considered a wall curtain rod for curtains two-row.
Installation and placement of the ceiling cornice will require the creation and installation of a special niche made of plasterboard, which is sometimes decorated with LED strips. Ceiling cornice can be decorated with the use of a curtain rod for curtains or tape made of plastic. The installation of the ceiling cornice is available for hand-made execution.
metal, wood or plastic
Traditionally, the domestic industry has stamped metal and wooden cornices for curtains. Metal cornices with a pompous knob with engraving-stamping or aluminum baguette continue to attract attention.
And, completely ignoring the annoying metallic sound produced by the cornice in the morning and evening when you open and close the curtains. The exception is the design of cornices, the price of which goes off scale. But for the design cornice it is necessary to select the appropriate interior.
The combination of eco-friendliness and natural strength are wooden cornices. Attractiveness of the wooden eaves and the strength of the material in combination with the practical use of curtains for the premises.
On the wooden cornice the light and dense fabrics of curtains happily coexist for rooms with windows to the south side.
A simple single-row cornice made of wood perfectly fits when framing the window opening of the bedroom, kitchen, living room or children's room. Only, the wooden cornice is absolutely not suitable for curved cornice curtains.
Discreet design combined with a small price generates a temporary attention to the plastic cornices in mind because of unreliability. The use of heavy curtain materials here is unreliable. However, for the use as a cornice of plastic products for arched windows or windows of irregular shape, hopes are justified.
The plastic cornice for the Roman curtains, which combines the functions of lifting and sliding systems, attracts attention.
Naturally, appearance of cornices form accessories and design features. There are the following designs of cornices:
• round cornices with a bar, designed for heavy curtain fabrics
• string cornices for light curtains and lambrequins
• Framed cornices
• profile cornices with a system of guides and grooves.
The cornice-string gradually loses its former appeal and is used exclusively for light curtains of a simple country house interior. Round and profile cornices are especially popular. The diameter of the round pipe can be from 5 to 45 mm, depending on the density of the curtain or curtain fabric and the suspenders.
The system of guide grooves of profile cornices and the possibility of using lifting mechanisms are the most popular designs.
Cleverly select the cornice bars
The process of selecting the cornice can be divided into several stages:
• We measure the location of the cornice, taking into account the ceiling or wall niches or partitions, as well as protrusions and communications
• calculate the length and distance to the wall or ceiling and determine the number of bars and brackets
• Choose the cornice corresponding to the style design of the room
• We produce hand-held installation of the cornice.
The final step is the selection of accessories and the way to manage the curtains.
Types of brackets for cornices
Brackets for cornice bars for a long time from the primitive metal corner have passed into the category of strong and original holders in shape.
Now these are metal brackets, designed for ceiling and wall round metal bars of any diameter, including double brackets.
The decorative galvanic coating of the brackets does not tarnish over time and does not lose its attractive appearance.
The length of the holder can be adjusted for any method of installation (cornice above the window, to the wall, in the window opening, above the opening and lateral attachment). In the delivery set from the manufacturer you will find fasteners - dowels, wood screws and hexahedron.
Accessories and methods for managing curtains
From the ryabayuschego in the eyes of the abundance of accessories for curtains and canes in the form of a skull or a turtle, there is a doubt about the importance and necessity of all these obsolete kitsch ornaments: brushes, hairpins, fringes and kutas.
Undoubtedly, for pompous styles of interior design, such trinkets in a number of cases are suitable. However, for style minimalism from them is better to refuse in favor of open and clean windows, through which you can see the living beauty of nature and the surrounding world.
