Small-sized Soviet-style apartments are characterized by low ceiling heights, which limits the possibility of bringing our design ideas to life. In this case, a ceiling curtain rod can be a reliable assistant. It visually increases the height of the ceiling, which gives a certain freedom of action when decorating the interior, and a large number of models and modifications of these cornices make them as convenient and functional as possible.
There is a stereotype that a ceiling cornice looks too simple for an elegant interior. In fact, modern window design offers a lot of options – you can install an inconspicuous cornice that will help emphasize other interior elements, or purchase a luxurious baguette that will become the center of the room’s decor.
When choosing window decor, you should consider some features. To visually increase the width of the window, choose ceiling curtain rods that are slightly longer than the size of the window itself (30-50 cm), respectively, to visually reduce a wide window, the length of the curtain rod should match the width of the window. The width of ceiling curtain rods directly depends on the height of the ceiling; wide baguettes can only be afforded in rooms with a high ceiling.
Plastic ceiling curtain rods
Plastic curtain rods are especially popular for several reasons: firstly, the variety of models and colors allows them to fit harmoniously into any interior, and secondly, they are not only beautiful, but also cheap. Plastic cornices have another advantage – they can be easily hidden by focusing on other decorative elements.
The most common option is baguette ceiling cornices for curtains made of plastic. Their practicality lies in the fact that the cornice is attached directly to the ceiling, so you can hang even the heaviest draperies with confidence that the structure will hold up. Some plastic ceiling cornices come with special “turns” that help create structures of complex shapes.
Another popular option is a hidden ceiling curtain rod. Its peculiarity is that the cornice is disguised under the ceiling plinth or stretch ceiling. This creates an unusual effect of curtains falling straight from the ceiling. To decorate a classic English interior, a hidden ceiling cornice for curtains under a wooden baseboard is often used.
Aluminum (profile) ceiling curtain rods
Aluminum, like other metal ceiling curtain rods, are highly durable and durable. Also, aluminum cornices offer freedom of action in interior creativity, since it can be painted in any color or even decorated with paintings. But they have one more feature – thanks to the plasticity of the material, the cornice can be given any desired shape. Flexible ceiling curtain rods are an ideal solution for windows of non-standard shape, since you do not have to spend a lot of time taking measurements and drawing up complex sketches. Installing such a curtain rod also does not require any special skills; everything can be figured out using the simple instructions included in the kit.
Features of installation and operation of ceiling cornices
Installation of ceiling cornices is very simple. First you need to make markings for attaching the brackets on a flat, prepared surface. They should be located at an equal distance from the center. Using screws, attach the brackets to the ceiling and install the cornice. Now the final touch is to hang the curtains on the ceiling cornice using special fasteners (hooks).
