Round curtain rods

One of the most important elements of the decor in the interior of the room are the curtains, they make the home much more cozy and comfortable. And it is important to choose the right not only the color and design of the curtains themselves, but also the option of attaching them.

One of the most traditional classical options for decorating a window is to use a cornice for curtains on a round bar. For many years of their existence, they have practically not changed externally and at the same time have not lost their popularity and demand at all. An important role in this is played by the convenience and simplicity of round eaves.

Material for the manufacture of the rod can serve as plastic, and metal and even wood. Due to the variety of materials, the color range of products is also very wide. Wooden eaves can have a shade of a light oak, cherry or a red tree. Plastic products are most often found in black, white, gold and chrome colors.

Round models are fixed above the window using special brackets.They can be fixed both on the ceiling and on the wall. Each method has its pros and cons. For example, if the room has already installed stretch ceilings, then for the installation of the cornice will have to disassemble part of the ceiling, and this is very problematic. Therefore, in such cases it is better to resort to the option of attaching the structure to the wall.

The curtains are attached to the cornice by means of rings with hooks (which are often sold in a set - a cornice with rings), or with the help of decorative cloth loops on the curtains themselves. The latter option looks particularly stylish and modern.

Very often round curtain rods are used in bathrooms. There are several types of bathroom products:

• Straight lines - standard familiar option. Fastened to the wall with screws;
• Rounded off - the form of the structure is selected on the basis of the shape of the bathroom itself - an oval, a semicircle, and so on;
• Metal Flexible Cornices - have the form of aluminum profiles with rollers that hold the curtains.This profile can be bent without the use of special tools;

• Spring - their advantage in the simplest installation, the principle of their work is similar to the expander - the two parts of the pipe are connected with a spring, thanks to which the eaves between the two walls will be firmly fixed;
• Telescopic - the product consists of separate parts that can be interconnected by means of a thread. This way you can adjust its length.

A semicircular tubular eaves in the bathroom is used to distinguish the total space from the shower or bath using waterproof curtains. In addition, it also prevents water from splashing around the bathroom.

As already mentioned, curtain rods are made of wood, metal, plastic and metal-plastic.

If, when choosing a material, you focus primarily on the durability of the product, then wooden or metal models will be the winning option.However, often in the apartments are not used too massive curtains, so the product from plastic or metal will serve you also a very long time.

If your apartment has “woodwork” finish - laminate, parquet, furniture made of natural wood - then you should definitely choose wooden round cornices. They also fit perfectly into the interior in a classic style, dominated by warm light brown and chocolate tones. Wood products usually look beautiful in an interior with light-colored ceilings, the lightest weightless curtains or curtains made of tulle will look especially stylish in this version.

Plastic curtain rods have an advantage in price - it is significantly lower, another plus is their low weight. Such eaves will be ideal option for light curtains and tulle. The eaves of plastic fit perfectly into the modern design. The advantage of this material is that it most often goes well with the ceiling of any kind. Plastic products are often installed in the kitchen and in other areas where it is necessary to create a modest and simple interior.

But metal curtain rods Will suit those who plan to use heavy massive curtains in an interior. Iron eaves very well maintain big loadings on weight.

This version of the eaves is very popular due to ease of use. In these types of eaves one, two or three fastenings for different types of curtains are provided. Fasteners made directly to the ceiling above the windows.

Their main advantages are:

1. Simplicity and ease of installation, since there is no need to ream reinforced concrete floors;
2. The convenience of use;
3. Stylish appearance.

The most commonly used metal and wooden round wall cornices.

A very original decision for a country house will be the hand-made creation of a cornice from a dried up long straight stick of any tree - birch, maple, aspen and others.

Install the cornice at home everyone can, it does not take much time and effort.The most important thing is to plan and calculate everything correctly.

Follow these guidelines:

• Make a choice in advance where the product will be mounted - to the ceiling or to the wall;
• Consider that the distance from the stick on which the curtain will be fixed to the upper border of the window must be at least five centimeters. If you do not take into account this important point, the light can penetrate into the room above the eaves, and the curtain itself will partially lie on the floor;
• For fixing the cornice, 3 brackets are usually used. The two extreme points should be at a distance of at least 15 cm from the sides of the window, and most importantly, arrange them ideally symmetrically. The third bracket should be exactly midway between the two extremes.
• Another important parameter that should also be considered in advance is the distance from the bracket to the surface of the ceiling or walls. In this matter, you need to focus on the material of the curtains. If you plan to use light curtains or tulle, the distance from the wall may be about 15 centimeters. If you pick up more massive curtains for the hall, then the indentation should be at least twice as large.
