Which cornice is needed?

There is a wide range of curtain rods for grommets - these are a variety of designs, colors, materials and the presence of decorative elements. Such a variety of choices makes life easier on the one hand, and on the other makes you think and choose an individual option that will take into account all the features of the interior.

• Take into account the diameter of the cornice and the hole so that the curtain moves easily and freely.
• Do not mount the eaves too high, you should leave a distance between the structure and the ceiling so that the curtain does not deform.
• Optionally, the color of the cornice is combined with a shade of eyelets.
• When choosing a style, it is important to consider the shape and decorative component of the cornice. So for modern styles, such as minimalism or hi-tech, simple models are suitable without any additions.And for classical or ethnic trends, it is worth considering the characteristic features of styles and adding accents to complete the stylish image of the room.

Features of the choice of eyelets

The appearance of the eyelets depends on many factors - material, shape, size, color and decorative coating. Such a variety invites you to use them in almost all interior styles.

For curtains in a calm color scheme, accessories with decorative ornaments are preferable. Gold or silver is a good option. Rhinestones or imitation leather are often used to add luxury to the interior. For curtains in bright colors, it is better to choose simpler and more restrained colors.

When choosing material for the rings, you should pay attention not only to the appearance, but also to the technical characteristics. There are not many varieties of material, but the right choice will save the curtains during the next wash and you will enjoy the beauty for a long time.

Metal grommets are the most practical and will last a long time maintaining their original appearance. In addition, they successfully harmonize with modern styles - minimalism, loft or hi-tech. Brass and steel rings, when washed with a curtain, can quickly lose their original appearance, so it is advisable to remove them before this procedure. Stainless steel rings are resistant to corrosion, but have a fairly high cost.

Plastic or plastic is the most common option for eyelets. They are distinguished by an affordable price and a large selection of colors, which allows you to choose rings for the interior style. When moving, the curtains do not create noise, do not scratch the cornice, and are easily erased together. Suitable for thinner fabrics.

Step-by-step instruction

1. Measurements and calculation of fabric:
   • We measure the length of the cornice, multiply the obtained value by a factor (1.5 for tulle, 2-2.5 for curtains).
   • We consider the length of the hem and allowances:
     lower edge - 8-10 cm,
     top edge - with a margin of about 25 cm,
     lateral edges - in the amount of 3-4 cm.
2. We calculate the distance:
   soft waves, grommets we fasten every 15 cm, if deep and relief waves are needed - we take a step of 22 cm. Intermediate options are allowed, everything is up to your imagination.
3. Material preparation. Before fixing the grommets to the curtains, we must sew the grommet to the fabric or tuck the fabric itself to seal the attachment point.
   • We turn the upper part of the canvas to the width of the grommet tape, and the place of bending is steamed with an iron.
   • On the sides we cut off already with a margin (approximately equal to the width of the turn).
   • Next, we straighten the fabric, and place the tape along the upper fold and fasten it with an iron.
4. Fabric Marking:
   • Based on the calculations above, mark the points on the tape;
   • We attach tailor pins to each point;
   • We mark the contour of the hole on the tape along the inner circle of the eyelets.
5. Eyelet fastening:
   • On marked outlines with a margin of 2 mm, cut holes;
   • We snap the rings on both sides or press through the press.
