Varieties of cornice
The absence of curtains gives any setting an unfinished look. But it’s not enough just to choose the material of the appropriate color and design, to form it into beautiful folds. First you need to decide on the reliable technology of its fastening for an impeccable design of the window opening.
The photo of modern cornices shows that they can differ in the following indicators:
- according to the installation method,
- according to the material of manufacture,
- in structural design.
Installation Methods
Depending on the installation method, the following types of products are distinguished:
Wall mounted. This method of attachment is the most reliable. Advantages of the wall cornice - fastener strength, ease of use, simplicity, durability, beautiful appearance.
Ceiling. Provide flight of imagination. Thanks to them, you can imitate a real waterfall from the falling curtains.
Also, such cornices can be used to decorate windows with multilayer curtains. Their characteristic feature is a strict and concise appearance, and an indisputable advantage is the ability to visually raise the ceilings.
Tree
Natural wood products are out of fashion. Their advantages are beauty, durability, a significant service life, environmental safety, a variety of design solutions. A wooden structure can have a very different surface: smooth or curly, inlaid or decorated with carved patterns, metal, leather, glass elements.
Cornices made of wood are most suitable for rooms designed in such style directions as country, Provence, classic, eclecticism. Oak and cherry wood models will last the longest.
Plastic
Advantages - low price, functionality, ease of operation, ability to withstand significant loads. Plastic products can have various dimensions, shades and configurations, be round or shaped.
With their help, you can realize the most daring design ideas. Such cornices can be mounted both on the wall and on the ceiling.
Metal
Made of various alloys. Their advantages are strength, durability, beautiful appearance, ability to withstand heavy weight.
Cornices made of metal are appropriate in almost all interior styles, from classic to modern. They can be round or forged. When using them, the wall mounting method is most often used. Ceiling profile is less often made. It is usually used for complex window openings or for electric cornices.
Today, the modern style of cornices in the interior is a combination of structures: metal-glass, metal-plastic, metal-wood. For example, a metal cornice can be trimmed with planks of wood, and the round curtain is decorated with tips made of glass or forged elements.
Decolux cornices are considered the most high-quality.
Structural design
Cornices can also vary in design. When choosing a product, it is necessary to focus on the interior design solution, on the style and weight of the curtains themselves, and also take into account the size and configuration of the window.
The classic version is a round cornice. For its manufacture use metal, plastic or wood. It is appropriate in an environment of any style. Such a cornice consists of one or more pipes with a diameter of 5 to 50 mm, interconnected and ending with decorative caps.
For attaching curtains, various fittings are used. It can be eyelets, hinges, etc. These parts are easily replaceable. As for curtains, both light (tulle or organza) and heavy of dense fabrics are acceptable.
The main decoration of the round cornice is the tip. It can have a simple or figured shape, and can also be decorated with carved patterns, paintings, forged elements or inlaid with glass and crystals.
The simplest construction of a string cornice. It is a thin cable stretched between brackets, which can have both wall and ceiling designs.
This design is ideal for narrow window openings and weightless curtains with a lambrequin. If you pull several cables at the same time, you can realize rather complicated design ideas.
Profile cornices are most often made of metal and complemented by plastic parts.
Most structures mounted on the ceiling have a profile design. Such products are mounted less frequently on walls. The profile cornice is able to withstand significant loads, but the quality of the fittings will affect the reliability of the curtains.
The profile is ideal for windows with complex configurations. It is usually chosen for fixing curtains in Roman, Japanese, as well as Austrian and French styles, as they are most convenient for mounting lifting devices.
Framing moldings are distinguished by their attractive appearance and functionality. They are made of plastic or metal and perfectly cope with heavy loads. As a decor, fabric, leather, carving, etc. can be used.
Remember, no matter which curtain rod you choose, you must take into account the characteristics of the room, its design, the style of the curtains and your financial capabilities. Have a good shopping!
Round cornices
Decorative cornices with fleurons are made of wood or metal. In style, size and color, they are very different. They vary from modern to classic, give the window a decorative touch and combine with almost any curtains. Pick up rings with hooks or clothespins to them, depending on what kind of impression you want to achieve.
The sizes and appearance of the rings are almost equally varied, their decoration helps to create a common style when decorating windows. Clothespins for curtains eliminate the need to hem the drawstring or make loops. By combining curtain rods and rings in different ways, make your windows look perfect.
Decorative cornices are usually supplied complete with brackets or special holders. Since these models are quite heavy, fasten the bracket or holder to the wall with the help of long special screws.
Profile
Profile cornices can be of different colors and shapes. In addition, this is the most convenient option for windows of a non-standard shape: bay windows, dormers and corner windows. They can also have different lengths and thicknesses, which makes them universal.
String
For modern interior styles, light string cornices are ideal. However, they are intended only for light curtains made of airy fabrics: organza, tulle, veil, etc.
Modest and laconic string cornices for curtains are no less popular than metal, plastic and wooden varieties, in many respects due to a very affordable cost.
Eaves-strings with equal success can be attached both to the wall and to the ceiling. Their main part is a thin, metal cord resembling the appearance of a guitar string. Its length is from 2 to 5 meters.
On the plane, the cable is fixed using small brackets or brackets. Their design allows you to optionally fix it in two or three rows and hang on it multilayer curtains. Of course, they should be light.
Brackets of string cornices can be painted in very fashionable today metallic colors that imitate brass, bronze, gold, patched silver. And if you are not satisfied with their simple, concise design, you can always cover such an eaves with an interesting and beautiful molding.
Eaves "cafe"
These are elegant cornices with fleron-tips, most often made of polished copper or brass. They are mounted on the window frame or on the wall using the brackets that are included in the kit. Rings with clothespins are hung on the eaves of the “cafe”, sometimes cloth loops are sewn to curtains or shuttlecocks.
Spacers
Such cornices are adjustable in length and fit almost any window. In place they are held by a spring, which is hidden inside the rod. Spacer models are ideal for installation inside window frames, do not require mounting brackets and screws that spoil the wooden frame elements.
Mechanical and automatic
These cornices are designed to push or pull the curtains in with rollers and other mechanisms. They are double, the curtains on them are moved apart in both directions, or single, when the curtains are moved only to one edge of the frame. You can find decorative mechanical or fully automatic electric models.
Lifting cornices for Roman, Austrian and French curtains
Lifting models are used for fastening Roman, French, English and Austrian curtains. They also differ in the structure of the lifting mechanism: rotary-chain and cord-controlled.
Eaves for Japanese curtains
The design of Japanese curtains is not quite ordinary. The fabric is not folded into them, but tightly stretched, and they can not only be pulled apart, arranged in one line, but without removing from the window, arranged one after another or interchanged. Therefore, the cornice for them needs a special one, consisting of several guides and with a ceiling mount.
In order to be able to freely move the curtain panels, and change their places, each panel needs a separate guide (track). In cases where the curtain consists of 2 or 3 panels and they are not planned to be interchanged, you can limit yourself to a cornice of two paths. The panels are attached to the cornice with adhesive tape, one half of which is fixed on the upper part of the panel, and the other on runners moving along profile tracks.
Cornices for Japanese curtains come with manual - independent or dependent and automatic control. Let's consider them in more detail:
- Independent manual control. The canvases are moved individually, holding their edges with their hands.
- Dependent manual control. Each canvas depends on the neighboring. They move only in groups or in pairs. In order to push or pull the curtains, you need to pull the cord or rope.
- Automatic control. Curtains on such a cornice are controlled by
- remote control - just take it in your hand and press the button. An automatic curtain rod weighs more than a similar sized manual one because it is heavier than an electric drive.
For standard windows and curtains, consisting of 2-3 panels, a manual cornice will be sufficient. For large and panoramic windows and curtains consisting of 3 or more panels, it is better to choose curtain rods with automatic control.
When choosing a control mechanism for Japanese curtains, you need to keep in mind that manual control allows you to arrange the panels in any order, while using the rope and electric controls, the panels are moved and moved apart according to only one scheme.
Cornices for Japanese curtains are made of plastic and metal.
The most common and budget option is manual plastic cornices. They are suitable for medium-sized windows and not too heavy curtains, consisting of 2-3 panels.
If you plan to hang more than 3 panels in front of the window, it is better to give preference to an aluminum alloy cornice. It is able to withstand significant loads and does not deform even after many years of operation.
In cases where you need to decorate a large panoramic window and it is supposed to install automatic control on the cornice, it is better to choose a product made of carbide metals treated with a special moisture-repellent coating. Such a cornice will last even longer than aluminum and will look like new for many years.
Furniture handles
Such fasteners are suitable for curtains on fabric hinges. Pens give them a fun and original look.
You can use handles from the doors of cabinets and drawers. You will need screws with threads at both ends to secure the handles to a wall or window frame.
Cornice Tips
Choosing the right curtain rod that can hide flaws and emphasize the dignity of the interior is not so simple. To do this, you need to consider several important points:
- 1 Any cornice is designed for a specific load. Therefore, before buying it, you need to at least approximately evaluate the weight of the curtains.
- 2 Find out which curtain mounts (eyelets, clothespins, hinges, hooks and many others) are suitable for the cornice you like. They must correspond to the type of your curtains, and move along the ledge freely, silently, without stopping, and without clinging to each other,
- 3 For light curtains, designs with any type of fastening are suitable - both ceiling and wall. For heavy curtains, it is advisable to choose a ceiling mount that can withstand heavy loads. But if the ceiling is suspended, it will be necessary in advance, before pulling it, to provide a niche on it for fixing the cornice.
- 4 The location of the heating pipes and the dimensions of the window sill also influence the choice of the cornice. It should be fixed so that all these elements do not interfere with the free hanging of the curtains.
- 5 Do not forget that a correctly selected and correctly mounted cornice can hide flaws and emphasize the advantages of the interior as a whole. So, a narrow window can be “expanded” by fixing a long cornice above it with curtains that partially or completely cover not only the window opening, but also the wall, and “raise” the low ceiling with the help of the ceiling cornice and curtains hanging from the ceiling to the very gender.

Almost any type of suspension, with rare exceptions, can be hung in one of the 4 ways described above. The exception is special cornices designed for certain types of curtains, which have their own characteristics of fastening and installation.
What are they made of?
The modern production of goods such as curtain rods, the comfort of which is ensured, has reached a whole new level. Technologies allow to process various materials, giving them an unusual shape, appearance, aesthetics and beauty.
Various materials are used for the manufacture of cornices
But what are the curtain rods by type of manufacturing material:
- Plastic
- Metal.
- Wooden.
- Combined.
The last, fourth type is derived from the first three. When producing such suspensions, a different combination of materials is used. For example, metal products complemented by wooden elements look very beautiful.
An example of a combined cornice, the rods of which are made of metal, and the mount, rings and tips are made of wood
Each type of suspension for window textiles combines some features with standard qualities. So plastic curtains processed using special technology look completely different. They are made with wood, marble, metal texture. High-quality, expensive products made of good, tested plastics, even an experienced seller cannot distinguish in their appearance. The advantage of plastic is its comparative lightness, high performance, ease of maintenance. The properties of plastic make it easy to make curly curtains, suitable for different graces of the interior.
Metal products have always been popular among buyers. Curtains were no exception. The development of the metallurgical industry, the development of the latest technologies for the cooking and processing of metals, brought many different types of iron.
Profile aluminum cornices have been known to everyone since the Soviet era
You can now purchase curtains from:
Forged cornices are made by hand, so even the simplest of them are expensive
Wrought iron is essentially the same steel. The only difference is in the method of processing, bending, and final processing of the interior item. In addition to the metallurgical industry, the paint and varnish sector did not stand still. This is especially true for metal curtains. On sale there are gilded, silver, chrome, patinated and many other colors. Using a suitable paint, the manufacturer is able to create a unique product that is suitable for each consumer in its properties and qualities.
Wooden types of cornices for expensive curtains are an ideal option for finishing the interior of an apartment or a private house. Since ancient times, the beauty of natural wood has been valued by carpenters. Pendants made of wood will serve their owners faithfully for decades. Noble appearance, environmental friendliness, esthetics, natural beauty of wood, will create a cozy, warm atmosphere. The high cost of wood products is more than offset by the harmony created by these products.

It is worth noting that metal and plastic products are made in all possible options. It can be profile, made of plastic, for example, eaves of legrands, and suspended, having a round pipe as the main element for attaching window curtains.
Variety by type of mount
As previously described in the article, the types of fasteners for curtains are different. Standard options are wall and ceiling suspensions. At the same time, wall mounted on special brackets that come with the delivery to the product. They are easy to install with dowel nails.

Ceiling products are mounted on the same brackets, or simply on the ceiling. Profile suspensions made of plastic or aluminum are designed for rooms with low ceilings. To improve the decorative component, special baguettes (ceiling skirting boards) are sold. They are produced specifically for specialized products. Inlaid wood, metal, marble allows you to use baguettes universally for any decoration of the interior of the room.

Depending on the requirements for curtains, suspensions for them are available with a different number of guides or profile grooves. So distinguish:
The choice depends on the needs of the owner. If you want to hang a full-fledged window textile, with curtains, tulle and lambrequin, you need to select three-row suspensions. And, for example, for Italian curtains, it will be enough to use double-row ones.
Profile types and crossbars can have from one to three rows of guides. They are mounted both on the wall and on the ceiling. We figured it out. But what are window and telescopic suspensions?
Let's start with the latter. Telescopic versions of the crossbars for curtains are similar to ordinary tubular ones. The main difference is the presence of a system of tubes of different diameters, inside of which there is a lapping spring. One pipe is inserted into another. The whole system is mounted in the window opening. For fastening you need to open the telescope. Typically, this suspension is used in bathrooms for curtains.
The sliding eaves are set in opposition between two surfaces
Window curtains are more interesting. For example, for Roman curtains only specialized fittings are used. It is divided into two types:
The open system consists of a support bar on which lifting carriages are suspended
In a closed system, all mechanisms are hidden inside the case
In general terms, such cornices have from two to four lifting rings suspended on special ropes or cables. The lifting system is controlled by a chain or tape (depending on the type of construction). The principle of operation is simple: the coils available in the design, equipped with a spring lifting mechanism, wrap the cables. But the cables penetrate the curtains, at the end of which is installed a plug (locking ring). Such a system allows Roman curtains to gather in a characteristic accordion, exposing only part of the window.
The eaves device for the Roman curtains
Such lifting structures are installed on plastic and wooden windows. They have standard sizes, so when buying Roman curtains you do not run the risk of miscalculating with the corresponding size range. Due to the ease of attaching the curtain to the structure (there is Velcro), this method of arranging a window opening has gained great popularity.
To fasten the canvas on the ledge, adhesive tape is used.
Roman curtains are the only possible option for arranging inclined dormer-windows. Therefore, the manufacturers of curtain rods came up with fixed guides that allow you to set the textiles at an angle, while ensuring that the curtains fit to the window, without letting sunlight into the room.
Roman curtain rods on the kitchen are used for Austrian as well as French curtains.
Comparing French and Austrian curtains, at first glance it is difficult to find differences. Both options have a similar structure of arched, wavy folds. But there is still a difference: in French textiles, folds are present constantly, curtains are independently lowered or raised. The Austrian folds only in a raised state. When fully expanded, they are straight.
Austrian curtains belong to the lifting type of curtains
But there is still a difference between the Roman type from the French and Austrian. Curtains for the last two curtains have a larger format (size), so they are installed directly on the wall or ceiling using brackets or conventional wall plugs and nails. Directly, the curtains themselves are also attached with Velcro.

The choice of curtains to the existing room design
Most often, the arrangement of the window space is the final stage of repair. Therefore, the choice of curtain design comes to the existing style of design. The following are some guidelines for choosing curtain rails.
- The classic style is iron and wood. If your living room, bedroom, study or kitchen are decorated in the classic style of old England, then it will be ideal to use both wooden cornices made of expensive wood and forged luxury items. But for the French "Provence" white wooden facades will look better.

Flat plastic hangers are often used to ceiling mount curtains in modern interiors.
String cornice is also suitable for the interior in a minimalist style.
Important. For each specific style of space design, special curtains are suitable, and curtains are to them.
When decorating a modern home, they often combine different types of curtains and, as a result, curtain rods to them
Over the past 5 years, Roman, French, Austrian, Italian, as well as English curtains have gained great popularity. The bay windows are beautifully complemented by special flexible profile guides. The choice is great. There are options for every connoisseur.
