In the modern interior cornices serve not only to support the curtains, but also perform some decorative functions. Designers like to use massive round cornices, as well as structures with elements of artistic forging or lighting. However, if the design is designed in such a way that the main decoration of the interior becomes the fabric itself, then it is better to choose a classical string cornice. Yes, it looks modest and minimalistic, but your curtains against its background will look even more elegant.
Eaves construction
The complete set of string universal cornice includes metal brackets, thin strings and holders. Brackets can have an unusual shape and design, for example, performed in the form of a flower bud, geometric figure or arrow. If you want, you can pick up an ordinary bracket, the only decoration of which will be a chrome plated cover.
The strings that come complete with the cornice are quite strong, but in spite of this, it is better to hang curtains of light fabrics (tulle or organza) on them. Massive curtains can lead to sagging of the cloth and deformation of the string. If you plan to use curtains from brocade or jacquard, then you are more suitable for aluminum or wooden structures.
Now as for the clamps for curtains. In the case of a string cornice, it is better to choose light, inconspicuous clips made of plastic or metal. They will look harmonious and do not weigh the design with strings.
How to install string cornices?
To begin with, the location where the cornice is to be located is determined, then, attaching the fasteners to the ceiling, marks for the screw holes are made. The holes are drilled, plastic plugs and fasteners are screwed into them. After that, you need to insert the string and clamp it with a tensioner located on the mount. Having done this, you need to check the quality of string tension. If they do not bend, then you can safely hang curtains.
Where are they used?
This design is not used on the windows of a complicated forehead (an oval or an arch, curved bay window cornices are more suitable for this) and are rarely used to create complex multi-layer compositions from the fabric inside the room. But the string cornices are ideal for decorative niches and kitchen windows. Thanks to them, it is possible to create an unusual effect of "hovering" curtains under the ceiling and emphasize the texture and color of the fabric. Such cornices are often used in high-tech styles, minimalism and modernity .
