Varieties

All cornices are classified by the nature of the appointment. They can be used both for decorating specific openings of certain parameters, as well as for a universal direction. There are also devices for the refinement of window "lights".

By the design of elements, modern cornices can be stringed, round, shaped. By type of mounting ceiling or wall. The latter option is the most popular classic. The design consists of a bar on which the textile panels are fastened, as well as a fastening system.

Round wall cornices

Round cornices - designs consisting of concise rods and brackets. To enhance the decorative qualities of the models, special tips are used - fllerons, as well as fixing rings with hooks or without them.

Usually all structural elements are designed in the same color and style. Complex compositions created for a specific extraordinary interior are less common. The rounded bar in the classic format is made from a variety of materials:

• Tree;
• Plastic;
• Metal-plastic;
• Metal.

Wood is an elite raw material. Carved and intricate elements from expensive varieties of wood can be found in the classic interior. Natural materials look good in country, retro, vintage, provence and various eco-friendly directions.

String cornices on the wall

String curtain rod for curtains is a simple and inexpensive option for any room. You can choose both single-row and double-row options. The string is suitable for attaching lightweight home textiles:

• Tulle;
• Organza;
• Nylon;
• Silk.

Heavy fabrics can cause the deformation of the string or even break down under its own weight. For the fastening of the canvas, rings, eyelets, clamps, magnets are used. As auxiliary decorative attributes, light elements are used: lace, silk bows, ties, light folds.

Profile cornices

The wall cornice is represented by a guide with grooves along which runners can move. Curtains or curtains are attached to these elements. Profile designs can be made of such materials:

• Aluminum;
• Metal plastic;
• Polymer-metal structures.

Depending on the type, type, size of the window, a single-row or double-row profile is selected. There are models where profiles on G-like brackets form three or more rows.

Flexible curtain rods are preferable if the window opening in the room has a non-standard shape (for example, it is decorated in the form of an arch, oval, trapezoid or bay window). For each specific architectural solution, you can choose several options for curtain rods on a flexible base.

Baguette version

Eaves with a baguette allow you to combine all the attributes in the room into one integral composition: from cabinet furniture and window openings to the curtain composition itself and decorative auxiliary structures. The selected plank-baguette closes the places where the canvas is attached.

Most often, designs are presented in such options:

• Wooden planks decorated with carvings or unusual inlays;
• Plastic cornices painted in a variety of colors;
• Wall metal plates (sometimes treated with gilding or copper patina);
• Stucco molding in combination with "invisible" fasteners.

Classic wooden structures with stucco and carvings - the perfect solution for a rich classic, rococo, baroque. Metal-polymer constructions with an aluminum profile are suitable for progressive interior compositions.

Lifting gear

Lifting mechanisms (there is a single-row, double-row and multi-row type of construction) are used for curtains of complex configuration. Typically, multilayer heavy fabric compositions are lifted manually or mechanically.

The lifting mechanism is necessary for these types of curtains:

• London curtains;
• Roman
• Roll;
• French

There are different types of curtain rods with complex mechanisms, both open and closed. For open systems, the use of the mechanism directly on the profile itself is characteristic.
Closed systems allow you to hide all the technical stuffing under a separate profile or in a decorated canvas. Choosing one or another option for the design of the opening, it is necessary to take into account the features of the interior: whether the complicated design of the cornice will take root in it.

Sliding cornices on the wall

Sliding mechanisms are selected if it is necessary to facilitate the process of opening windows as necessary. As the main lever use a conventional cord. If the cornice is two-row, a sliding mechanism is installed on each row separately. The system is suitable for multi-row heavy compositions of expensive textiles.

Special advantages of wall designs

Wall cornices (and all varieties) are particularly popular justifiably. Among the special functional and aesthetic advantages, it is worth highlighting the following:

• Simplicity of installation (a single-row cornice can be installed independently, without even having special skills in such work);
• The ability to use massive bulky designs from textiles in the interior, harmoniously fitting them into the room’s stylistic ensemble, without worrying that the cornice will not be able to withstand the load;
• A wide assortment (you can choose any product not only in appearance, but also in size, material, quality level, degree of complexity, type of design and mechanism for managing textile fabrics);
• There is no need to carry out any additional repairs before installing new cornices.

In addition, wall constructions are the only solution for apartments with suspended ceilings. No matter how the owners of the apartment would not want to use the ceiling structures for some reason, this is not possible, and skillfully selected double and single-row cornices for wall mounting will be able to solve all conceptually important design tasks.

Types of curtains and features of curtain rods

Before choosing a curtain rod, you need to consider all the nuances.First of all, the design should correspond to curtains or curtains in all respects. For example, for a dense massive canvas made of velvet, only a very durable curtain rod is suitable. It is better to give preference to a wide array of wood or round varieties of metal. Plastic in this case is contraindicated.

Light or translucent airy textile compositions on a massive base will look out of place. It is better to choose a single-row string cornice for such elements.

Short curtains "cafe" with a complex texture look good with a wooden carved suspension. For Japanese curtains, a rigid frame is provided on the basis of multi-row rail designs (preferably with an electric drive or other high-tech devices). To install lambrequins, it is worthwhile to look at three-row structures and fix the wall systems high above the window, right next to the ceiling itself. This will ensure optimal light delivery.

In the kitchen you can play with the form and presentation. For example, choose fun designs with an unusual decor in the form of fruits. The same can be done in the children's room, where on the ledge there is a place for the funniest animals and other interesting characters that the child loves.
