The choice of cornice depends on the design of the room, the size of the surface to be decorated, the style of the curtains, the weight and texture of the fabric, and the method of its fastening, on the wall or ceiling. Manufacturers of home accessories have taken into account all the nuances; today you can buy products of standard sizes that are suitable for all typical premises, the main thing is to choose the right model for your conditions. Making out exclusive interiors, you can order a fastening system based on an individual project.

Constructive

Cornices consist of several elements:

  • pipe, string or tire;
  • side caps, tips, corner roundings;
  • fastening system – brackets and holders.

How to choose the size

If standard size If the length of the cornice does not match your measurement of the opening, you can always cut it down. It is recommended to follow the following tips:

  • The length of the cornice should be 150-400 mm wider than the window opening on each side.
  • Wall-to-wall models should be 1.5-2.0 cm smaller than the opening.
  • Every 1.5-2 m of the length of the wall cornice requires a support point, I mount ceiling models, remember that the distance between the fastenings is 30-50 cm.

For example, wall cornices 3 m long must have at least 3 support points: 2 on the sides, one in the middle. IN in this case you can buy one solid structure L = 240 cm, or a prefabricated one, in which there are 2 rails/pipes of 160 cm each, then sawed off to the desired size.

Standards

Standard parameters were derived from the ergonomics of typical rooms, in which windows and walls are practically same size, so there are no problems with length. But the textile industry offers a wide range of fabrics, from very light to heavy, massive, and fashion designers are coming up with more and more new styles, with folds, lambrequins, frills, multi-layered, so it is important when choosing a cornice to pay attention to:

  • the material from which it is made;
  • rail width, pipe thickness.

Diameter and length of metal pipes

The golden mean of metal pipes is considered to be D = 25-28 mm, suitable for almost all types of curtains. Standard strip forged products 16 mm. Hollow thin-walled products for light curtains have D = 16 mm, for more massive ones - 2.5-4.0 cm, depending on the manufacturer. In multi-row models, pipes of smaller (for tulle) and larger (for the main fabric) thicknesses are usually combined.

Mini cornices, designed for decorating small windows, under light curtains, have D = 1.0 cm, they do not overload the interior and do not sag like strings.

Double-row systems consist of a thin strip for tulle 10-16 mm, and a pipe D = 28 mm, for thick curtains. Usually they are covered on top with a decorative film that imitates natural materials, or paint. From stainless steel They make cornices 25 mm in diameter. Standard L = 160,180, 200, 240, 280, 300, 320, 360 cm. You can also buy solid metal rods with a diameter of 28-50 mm, a length of 6 m.

If the window has a wide sill or a heating system runs along the plane, pay attention to the length of the bracket, optimally from the wall to the inside of the eaves 10-15 cm

Standards for wooden cornices

Wooden curtain rods are inferior to metal ones in strength, so the standard for products is considered to be D = 28 mm, which is suitable for light and medium-weight curtains. If you need to hang heavy curtains, you should install holders every meter, which is not always convenient for opening.

Rods D = 16, 28, 35 mm come in a maximum length of 2 m; for wide openings you will need to connect 2 pieces through a bracket.

For massive heavy curtains, it is better to buy curtain rods D = 40-50 mm, or exclusive ones - D = 75 mm, these come in lengths of up to 4 m, they are more expensive in price, but the advantages of such models are durability and aesthetics.

Choose products made from durable wood to prevent sagging over time.

Standards for plastic models

The maximum length of a plastic tire is 4 m. Double-row cornices are produced with a width of 8.0 cm, three-row – 8.7 cm, L = 150, 180, 210, 250, 280, 300, 320, 340, 360, 380 cm.

Each manufacturer can set its own dimensions, so sometimes these parameters vary slightly

Classic molding cornices made of plastic are supplied with a decorative strip, its width is 5 or 9 cm; wider ones, 100, 150-300 mm, are less common, this small collections, more experimental.

Plastic rods have a standard D = 28 mm, the parameter for light models is 12, 16 mm, suitable for kitchen curtains, in the bathroom, for windows in children's rooms. L = 200, 240, 300, 360 cm.

If the wall is narrow, give preference to models with ceiling mounting. If you decide to hang wall curtain rods, remember that the distance from the horizontal slope to the bottom edge of the bracket must be at least 50 mm.

A deviation from the width of the window opening of 0.15-0.4 m is not just a design trick for aesthetics; this distance allows you to move the curtains back as far as possible in order to fully open the window, which is important for dark rooms.

When choosing a fastening system, be guided by the interior design and curtain model

The house renovation is complete, now all that's left is the final decor. Window decoration, installation of cornices of a certain length and choice of textiles. Many people think that this is a very simple task that can be done easily and quickly.

In some ways they are right. This is not a difficult, but very painstaking task. After all, an incorrectly decorated window can reduce the effect of the repair. The buyer must ask two questions:

  • how to choose curtains;
  • which cornice to buy?

It’s easy to choose, you just need to pay attention to some factors:

  • the material from which it is made;
  • quality of cornice, fastenings;
  • length and other parameters.

Size is not of small, and maybe even central, importance when choosing. The fact is that if the length is incorrectly chosen, no matter how high-quality the fabric of the curtains is, they can look like a cheap option. The location of the opening and the number in the room are of considerable importance.

In addition, the length, and therefore the location of the curtains, adjusts the size of the windows. From all of the above we can conclude that the dimensions are affected by:

  • material for curtains;
  • desired window size;
  • location of the opening;
  • number of windows.

Dependence of length on opening width and fabric for curtains

Most designers consider it blasphemous to choose a cornice whose size is equal to the width of the opening. Sometimes you can argue with them. In some cases, purchasing a product of a different length is unrealistic. The window can be located, for example, between a wall and a semi-column. Any other size simply will not fit into the opening.

This footage helps to adjust the size of the opening. Indeed, in this case, when the curtains are opened, the opening will partially open. They remain on the window and do not go to the wall. This technique can visually make windows smaller.

This length is appropriate if there are no thick night curtains. The opening is draped with tulle or other lightweight material. The light will flow in the proper amount, and there is no need to move the textiles. Roman blinds also dictate the fashion for curtain rods according to the size of the window.

Listening to the advice of designers, you should choose the length based on the width of the opening plus 10-25 cm on each side. The length will allow you to move the curtains onto the wall, and the light will penetrate into in full. The curtains will hang in spectacular flounces, which will allow you to create beautiful drapery during the daytime. Such a mount will demonstrate a window in life size without distorting the size.

But if the existing dimensions are not enough, then they resort to increasing the length by 25 cm or more. It is better to calculate the size of the increase with the help of a seamstress. She will tell you exactly how much space is needed to effectively arrange the curtains. In this case, it is necessary to have wide partitions, so that the size of the room is not distorted. With such a cornice, the flounces will be smooth, and the drapery can be moved apart much more.

If you choose thick and heavy fabric for sewing curtains, you should increase the length by another 10-15 cm on each side. Otherwise, the material will simply wrinkle and lose its original attractive appearance.

Dependence of length on the number and location of windows

The first two points of influence are finished. Now we need to move on to the rest. The fact is that if the room has the shape of a rectangle, is long and narrow, then it is better to choose a cornice that covers the entire wall. This will visually expand the space, giving it airiness and lightness.

In such rooms, the window is usually located on a small wall. Accordingly, even with a central location, the walls remain minimal. By making the cornice somewhat shorter, you can create a cluttered space. The rest of the space cannot be used in any way.

But this situation has its own nuances. When measuring the width of the wall, you should correctly calculate the length of the cornice. The kit includes an arc, brackets and tips. The tips also have parameters. In some cases they are quite large. In order for the cornice to fit exactly into the interior, the calculation should be carried out using the formula. Wall width – 2 cm on each side = arc + tips. If everything is calculated correctly, it will fit into the interior and will last for many years.

But in some houses there are not one, but two or more windows on the wall. In such a situation, you should use a single cornice for everyone. This is allowed only if the walls are less than one and a half meters. Otherwise it is not advisable. After all, wide spaces covered with textiles will look bulky. This will make the room visually less spacious.

The owner decided to frame each window separately. This will greatly lighten the space. It will become visually larger. After all, even a cornice with an indentation from the width of the opening will take no more than a meter from the walls on both sides. The remaining space can be decorated with a shelf or a clock. Leaving it blank is also acceptable. The main thing is that the interior should please the owners.

Ceiling height adjustment and fastening

But with the help of a cornice you can adjust not only the width of the windows, but also the height. If you fix it directly under the ceiling, it will visually become higher. But if the height suits you, then it can be fixed just above the windows.

If there is a lambrequin, the cornice should also not be fixed low above the opening. This may be the reason for the appearance of an oppressive or oppressive feeling. It will seem as if the ceiling is falling on your head.

The cornice on the wall cannot be fixed independently. This requires brackets. The quantity depends on the size. If the length is 2 meters or less, then only two brackets are sufficient for mounting. Products are located along the edges. But if there are heavy curtains on it, then you should think about an additional bracket.

For sizes from 2 to 4 meters long, three fasteners will be required. Two of them are located at the edges, and one in the middle. Otherwise, the cornice will sag and may subsequently break.

A length of more than 4 meters requires the presence of at least five brackets. This will help hold up even heavy curtains. But it’s better to think about hanging several shorter mounts.

It is not enough to choose a curtain rod model that matches the curtains and general style interior The size and width of curtain rods play an important role. Incorrectly selected parameters may not decorate, but rather highlight the shortcomings of the window opening, spoiling the atmosphere created in the room.

What to consider when choosing the size of the cornice

To hide the shortcomings and highlight the advantages of the window, you need to choose the right size of the curtain holder. The following parameters must be taken into account in the calculations:

  • The size of the window opening, is there a need to adjust it (for example, if the window is narrow, then you can visually enlarge it with the help of a cornice).
  • Curtain weight. For heavy curtains, you need to take a curtain rod with a diameter of larger size than for light curtains.
  • Model of curtains. For example, curtains falling in beautiful folds, with tulle and lambrequin will require a larger structure with several rows for attaching curtains, and practical Roman blinds need a corresponding model of cornice, almost no larger than the size of the window.
  • Fastening method. Curtain holders can be wall or ceiling mounted. Dimensions are calculated wall cornices for curtains is not the same as the dimensions for ceiling ones, and the model of fastenings for stylish Roman blinds, as a rule, is mounted inside the window opening or directly above the window (less often under the ceiling).
  • For wall-mounted curtain rods, consisting of a rod, decorative finials and mounting brackets, you must decide how far away from the wall the structure should be. Based on these dimensions, you need to select the length of the brackets. In a kitchen with light single-row curtains, you can get by with short and thin ones, which will add airiness to the design, especially if they are made of plastic polymers and are in harmony with the color design.

How to choose the optimal cornice parameters

What sizes of curtain rods are optimal? This value is calculated individually:

If the size of the window suits the owners, the length of the cornice is calculated based on the width of the window opening with an addition of 20 cm on each side. Then the drawn curtains will completely open the window.

For dense, heavy curtains, especially if they do not drape well, it is better to take a longer curtain rod that extends far beyond the window.

Calculating the dimensions of the cornice for a Roman blind is simple; just measure the width of the window. Holders for Roman blinds can be purchased ready-made or ordered from a workshop. They are most often made of wood, metal or plastic polymers. Plastic or metal Roman cornices will fit perfectly into the kitchen interior.

For two windows located next to each other, it is good to purchase a common curtain holder. Then the width of the windows and the width of the wall opening are measured and 40 cm is added to this result.

When planning to install a hidden ceiling curtain holder, you need to consider the size of the window sill. The curtain should not touch the window sill and heating battery. Hidden ceiling holders are convenient to install in rooms with suspended ceiling. Hidden cornices practical and take up little space.

The dimensions of ceiling curtain rods are small. The exception is when ceiling structure placed across the entire width of the room, allowing the curtains to move not only within the window, but also from wall to wall. The use of ceiling cornices allows you to beautifully decorate windows, as well as separate part of the room with a curtain.

How long a wall or ceiling holder for curtains should be is up to everyone to choose for themselves. But it’s worth remembering that correctly selected cornice sizes will not only create cozy atmosphere, but will also facilitate various manipulations with curtains.

Window decor is not only about choosing the right color scheme and intricate design, this is a precise calculation that determines how appearance, and functionality.

Determining the size of the cornice

The final length includes the size of the rod or profile and two tips (plugs), not least in the calculation is the type of location and installation.

  1. "Wall to Wall". With this arrangement, the length of the structure should be 3 cm less than the distance between the walls. When choosing components for curtain rods, consider the need to purchase at least three brackets that ensure reliable fastening of both the cornice itself and the window decor.
  2. "Above the Window". The length of curtain rods should be 30-40 cm greater than the width of the window opening, while the supports are fixed on both sides.
  3. "Partly above the window". This method is suitable if the distance between the window and the ceiling is not sufficient to fix the bracket. The holders are fastened below the window level, the length is calculated from the formula: window width + 20 cm.

Popular questions about curtain rods

  1. How to connect cornices? Forged structures are connected using metal fastenings, inserted inside the pipe. The connection joint is closed with a bracket. If a corner connection is required, hinges are used.
    A U-shaped connection is suitable; for the CM profile, in the absence of connections, side plugs can be used.

  1. What is the maximum curtain rod size? Forged structures - 3 m, ceiling SM - 4 m, aluminum - 4 m, bay windows - 6 m, round - 3.5 m.

Pay attention!
It depends on the size of the profile or rod required quantity brackets.
For lengths from 1.5 to 2 m, 2 supports are required.

  1. How to choose a cornice for a window with a non-standard configuration? If the distance between the ceiling and the edge of the bay window is large enough, a structure with light tulle or organza is attached directly above the window using a special corner connection. For heavier curtains it is installed round cornice on the side walls that limit the bay window projection.
    In houses of the new foundation, the edge of the bay window and the ceiling of the room are located at the same level, so classic multi-row profile structures are used to hang curtains.

Curtain size calculation

So, if the cornice has been chosen, the design of the curtains has been thought out, you can move on to the issue of calculating the curtains.

  1. If the length of the structure does not exceed 1.4 m (more often used in kitchens), the width of the curtains is chosen equal to the length. Small windows are installed in rooms with a small area, in which voluminous, densely draped curtains are inappropriate.
  2. For a structure with a length of 1.5 to 2 m, the fabric is chosen with a width that is 1.5 times greater than the rod or profile.

  1. Lengths from 2 to 2.8 m are multiplied by 2 to determine the width of the curtains.
  2. If you are wondering how many meters of curtains you need for a 3m cornice, multiply the length of the structure by 2.5. This rule is relevant with rods from 2.8 to 3.4 m.
  3. When calculating the amount of fabric for a structure longer than 4 m, the coefficient varies from 2.5 to 3.

It is also important to take into account the fact that the width of the canvas is determined not only by the length of the structure, but also by the fabric used. An abundance of drapery is appropriate only on translucent light fabrics, but for thick, massive curtains, moderate folds are preferable.

Pay attention!
If the window decor requires the presence of a lambrequin, coefficients are not used when calculating the fabric.

Fittings and accessories

The quality and appearance of the fittings determine how well your window design will fit into the interior, as well as how convenient it will be to use.

  1. They do not use fastening with special hooks. Such accessories for curtain rods are attached to the canvas using fabric loops or tape equipped with ready-made loops.
  2. With rod systems, rings are used that are fixed to the canvas and strung on the rod. No less popular are special clips that are attached to rings and eyelets, performing not only a practical, but also an aesthetic task.

Pay attention!
The eyelets are fixed in the fabric at the sewing stage, so when secured to the rod, voluminous, even folds are formed.

It would be unfair not to mention tie loops and drawstrings, which are not classified as accessories, but are often used as a way to attach curtains. They are quite easy to make with your own hands and fit perfectly into the interior of a nursery or kitchen, but cannot boast of convenient functionality.

  1. For strings, small rings, clamps and magnetic latches are used.
  2. Universal fastenings include Velcro loops. They do not allow the canvas to be moved along the bar, so they are often used to fix the lambrequin and decorative elements of the window ensemble.

Description modern cornices for curtains and recommendations for the right choice accessories

If you have already decided on the choice of curtains for windows, another, quite logical question arises.

How to choose a curtain rod that meets several parameters at once? Firstly, it should serve as a reliable curtain holder. Secondly, what should the curtain rod be like so that it matches well with the overall style of the interior? You will learn about what kind of curtain rods and accessories there are by reading this material.

What kind of curtain rod should there be?

It’s hard to imagine window decor without this important detail, like a cornice, which not only serves as a support for curtains, but is also able to decorate the interior and give it a complete look. Having decided on the model of curtains or curtains and choosing the fabric, you can proceed to selecting a suitable curtain rod and accessories for it.

Today's market is so oversaturated that it is very easy to get lost among the variety of products offered. Therefore, first of all, you need to decide which curtain rod is best.

There are points that you need to pay attention to before choosing a cornice:

  1. Determine the required number of tracks. If you plan to make only one type of curtains, you can purchase a cornice with one track. What kind of cornice should there be when combining two types of curtains (for example, thick and light, regular and roller)? In this case, you will need a cornice with two tracks. Three tracks will be needed if the curtains are combined with a lambrequin.
  2. When choosing which curtain rod to hang, consider the width of the window. When choosing a cornice, remember that it should be 20-45 cm longer than the window opening. In this case, the curtains or drapes can be pulled apart completely so that enough light can enter the room. sunlight.
  3. Before choosing the right curtain rod, consider whether it will fit into the style of the interior. For example, in classic interior a metal cornice with tips would look ideal, and for a modern style will suit plastic cornice built into a niche in the ceiling.
  4. When deciding which curtain rods are best to choose, consider the weight of the curtains. Metal curtain rods can withstand the weight of dense fabric, but plastic curtain rods are not designed for heavy loads, and they are purchased for light curtains.
  5. Which curtain rod to choose for window curtains non-standard shape or bay windows? In this case, flexible plastic or metal holders are suitable, in which the structure consists of several sections that are connected in the desired position.
  6. Some models of curtain rods are equipped with a special cord that allows you to open and slide the curtains.
  7. When choosing which curtain rod is best to hang, together with the holder itself, choose fastenings for curtains - hooks, clips or rings. Fasteners of any kind should slide easily along the string or rod and not make unpleasant sounds.

When thinking about which curtain rod is best to choose, do not forget that its cost is most often determined by the material it is made of and its design.

Which curtain rod is best to hang?

Depending on the method of fastening, all types of curtain rods are divided into two large groups - ceiling and wall.

Ceiling cornices, as the name suggests, are attached to the ceiling. The design consists of a profile and guides. The curtains are attached to the curtain rod using hooks and can be moved along the entire length of the rails. Ceiling cornices are most often made of thin aluminum or plastic, and they have many advantages. They are universal, they can be selected according to the width of the window opening, the curtains on them close and open freely and nothing prevents this. Ceiling cornices can be used even when minimum distance between the ceiling and the window.

Wall-mounted curtain rods are attached to the wall. They are most often made from plastic, metal or natural wood. The advantage of this type of cornice is that it decorative characteristics, the ability to match it to the color of curtains or other accessories in the room.

When choosing a cornice, you can also be guided by what material (wood, metal or plastic) it is made of.

Wooden cornices are characterized by durability, strength and excellent aesthetic characteristics.

Plastic curtain rods come in a wide variety and are inexpensive. Their installation is easy, and their flexibility allows you to create structures of any configuration. However, the strength of plastic curtain rods leaves much to be desired, so it is not advisable to hang heavy curtains on them.

Metal curtain rods are ideal for heavy curtains because they can support their weight. However, the metal structure itself is quite heavy, so its installation requires special care.

Modern types of curtain rods: rails

Rail cornice can be either plastic or metal. The design is equipped with sliding rollers. Rails can be decorative, regular or painted. For bay windows and arched windows Flexible curtain rods are used, steel ones are used for heavy curtains, and combined ones are used to combine several types of curtains and lambrequins.

These modern views curtain rods can be easily shortened using a regular hacksaw and fixed to the wall or ceiling.

A combined cornice usually has 2-3 tracks intended for the main curtain, curtains and lambrequin. Typically, the lambrequin is hung on a rail located in front of the main rails intended for curtains.

Hidden rails are manufactured so that the rollers, runners and other sliding parts are hidden behind the front. Thin rails are used not only for light curtains, but also for lambrequins around children's cribs.

The rails can be equipped with guide cords and built-in hooks for attaching Austrian, Roman and scalloped curtains. Multi-purpose rails can be installed on the wall or ceiling. They bend easily, so they can be installed on windows of any shape.

The rail cornice is equipped with brackets, screws, stops, runners, rollers or hooks. The structure is mounted using brackets and screws. Stoppers are installed along the edges of the cornice and prevent the fall of rings and runners, with the help of which curtains are attached to the cornice.

To make your curtains look more impressive, opt for rails with an overlapping mechanism. Thanks to it, the curtains in the middle of the cornice do not meet end to end, but overlap one another, which looks original.

Typically, curtains on a rail cornice are not moved apart, since the structure itself does not look aesthetically pleasing enough. Therefore, the edges of the curtains are secured on both sides using tiebacks.

What are the different types of curtain rods: rods

Another type of curtain rods is in the form of rods. They are designed for light cafe-style curtains for decorating niches and doorways. Cornices are made of bronze, plastic or copper. The structure can be attached to the wall or ceiling. There are curved rods designed for bay windows, round and unusual shapes.

What types of curtain rods are there?

Among all the diversity there are:

  • for securing curtains in doorways. One end of the rod is fixed on the door frame, and the opposite end is fixed on its upper edge. The curtain rises when the door is opened;
  • sliding and stretchable. Can be installed in a wall of any length thanks to sliding mechanism, spring and special fastenings at the ends of the cornice. Such curtain rods are not intended for heavy curtains;
  • for lambrequin. Equipped with brackets, thanks to which they are attached to the wall. The rod is inserted into the loops laid along the edge of the lambrequin and secured to the bracket;
  • shutter rod. The curtain rod easily moves to the window at night and is moved to the opposite wall during the day so that the curtain does not block the penetration of sunlight. Shutter rods are made from plastic, metal and copper;
  • with fleurons. The cornice is equipped decorative elements at the ends of the rod, which prevent the hinges from falling and decorate the interior.

Which curtain rods to choose: rods

When talking about what kinds of curtain rods there are, it’s definitely worth talking about rods. A cornice rod is a pole made of wood, plastic or metal with rings placed on it. Rods are produced in different lengths. If the window width is non-standard, they can be shortened.

Metal rods are made from lightweight aluminum, iron or copper. Plastic rods are not intended for heavy curtains and are relatively inexpensive. Wooden cornices are made from natural materials and presented in wide range and a rich color palette.

The rods can be hidden. In this case they function as rails with half rings mounted on runners on back side cornice. Hidden rods are finished with copper or wood.

Standard curtain rods are designed for smooth surfaces. But you can upgrade them and fasten them together with corner connectors. In this case, they can be mounted on the bay window. The rods are mounted using brackets.

Depending on the expected weight of the curtains, two or more brackets are used, which are mounted on the wall at the same distance from one another.

What are the fashionable curtain rods now: baguettes

When talking about which curtain rods are the most fashionable now, we cannot fail to mention baguettes. Baguette cornices have one distinctive detail - a bar that covers the curtain mounts. Plank performs decorative function, and it can be matched to the style of the interior or the color and texture of the curtains. Baguettes are made of wood, plastic or metal.

The finishing of the cornice can imitate valuable materials - wood, marble, gold, bronze, silver, leather, etc. The cornice with a baguette is attached to the wall or ceiling.

You can choose a design of the required length depending on the width of the window or the entire wall.

The plank for a wooden baguette can be made from either valuable species wood, and from its inexpensive varieties. Products can be covered with carvings and can be made with imitation aging; they are also covered with various coloring compounds. Inexpensive baguettes are made from particle board. They are covered with veneer or film with a pattern that imitates the structure of valuable wood species.

A metal baguette (most often aluminum) has a high-quality, noble appearance. Metal cornices, as a rule, are used in offices and work rooms, but not in households - unlike wooden moldings, they do not create the atmosphere of warmth that is so necessary in residential premises.

Plastic baguettes are good for their low cost and practicality. As a rule, baguettes are made with two rows. They consist of a decorative strip and two profiles for hanging a light tulle curtain and a heavy curtain. You can also purchase a single or three-row design. The first option is used for kitchen curtains, and the second is used for hanging lambrequins.

For light curtains, use a baguette with plastic tire. For heavy curtains, a base of wood or metal is used, to which a decorative strip is attached. Baguette cornices come in a wide variety, and you can choose decorative strips to suit your chosen interior style.

Now you know which curtain rods you can choose, which means it’s time to pay attention to the accessories.

Original accessories for curtains

Having figured out what kinds of curtain rods there are, do not forget that window decoration will be incomplete without original accessories. You can select them depending on the type of cornice or other details decorating the room.

Cord system for opening and closing curtains. To make it easy to open and close curtains, some rail curtain rods are equipped with a cord system. You can also install cords for other types of curtain rods. Currently, you can buy in stores electronic system regulating the process of opening and closing curtains.

Florons. Flerons are the decorative tips that decorate the ends of the cornices. Their shape can only be limited by the imagination of the manufacturer. Most often, fleurons are produced in the form of spheres, cones, leaves, and flowers. They can be made of metal, wood or plastic.

Ornamental rings. Ornamental rings are used to decorate the edge of the curtain rod and also to keep the curtains in place.

Holder. The curtain holder is used to give them a beautiful semicircular shape. In addition, the holders perform a decorative function, decorating the window opening.

Magnetic clips. A magnetic clip is a modern device for holding curtains on the curtain rod. Clips allow you to hang the curtain without adding additional loops. Magnets can be used to create folds in curtains and tulle. At the same time, the composition does not become heavier, it looks light and original.

Spring clamps. Spring clips, equipped with rings that easily slide along the curtain rod, are fastening elements for curtains and are most often used for light curtains. With their help you can adjust the length of the curtains.

    THANK YOU so much for the very useful information in the article. Everything is presented very clearly. It feels like a lot of work has been done to analyze the operation of the eBay store

    • Thank you and other regular readers of my blog. Without you, I would not be motivated enough to dedicate much time to maintaining this site. My brain is structured this way: I like to dig deep, systematize scattered data, try things that no one has done before or looked at from this angle. It’s a pity that our compatriots have no time for shopping on eBay because of the crisis in Russia. They buy from Aliexpress from China, since goods there are much cheaper (often at the expense of quality). But online auctions eBay, Amazon, ETSY will easily give the Chinese a head start in the range of branded items, vintage items, handmade items and various ethnic goods.

      • Next

        What is valuable in your articles is your personal attitude and analysis of the topic. Don't give up this blog, I come here often. There should be a lot of us like that. Email me I recently received an email with an offer that they would teach me how to trade on Amazon and eBay. And I remembered your detailed articles about these trades. area I re-read everything again and concluded that the courses are a scam. I haven't bought anything on eBay yet. I am not from Russia, but from Kazakhstan (Almaty). But we also don’t need any extra expenses yet. I wish you good luck and stay safe in Asia.

  • It’s also nice that eBay’s attempts to Russify the interface for users from Russia and the CIS countries have begun to bear fruit. After all, the overwhelming majority of citizens of the countries of the former USSR do not have strong knowledge of foreign languages. No more than 5% of the population speak English. There are more among young people. Therefore, at least the interface is in Russian - this is a big help for online shopping on this trading platform. eBay did not follow the path of its Chinese counterpart Aliexpress, where a machine (very clumsy and incomprehensible, sometimes causing laughter) translation of product descriptions is performed. I hope that at a more advanced stage of development of artificial intelligence, high-quality machine translation from any language to any in a matter of seconds will become a reality. So far we have this (the profile of one of the sellers on eBay with a Russian interface, but an English description):
