As for the material of manufacture, the most popular wooden, forged and plastic cornices for curtains are most popular. There are also combined products using several materials at the same time.
The choice of material will be largely dictated by the style of the room. So, wooden cornices are suitable for classic and rustic interiors, while metal and plastic should rather be a continuation of modern styles like hi-tech and modern.
