Curtains for suspended ceilings - features of design and selection of curtains for interiors (135 photos)

Formation of a niche

To prevent this from happening, create a niche under the curtains. It is done during installation of the ceiling. The length of the niche corresponds to the length of the window opening or extends above it the entire length of the wall.

A niche is created to hide all the accessories for attaching the curtains.

The width of the niche is calculated based on the number and density of curtains that you plan to hang. You can make the width with a margin, allowing for the possible replacement of curtains.

The width of the niche should cover the width of the space under the window and the width of the heating radiator, if there is one there.

If this is not provided, the curtains will not be able to hang perfectly vertically due to the creases that form on them.

With proper installation of a film false ceiling with a niche, it will only be noticeable when it is as close as possible to the curtains. From any other place in the room, the only thing that will catch your eye is the curtains, as if flowing from the height of the ceiling.

It is necessary to calculate the parameters of the niche so that the curtains in it move freely. A niche in a suspended ceiling can be created not only above the window, but also in any part of the room, to divide the room into zones.

Cornice designs

Cornices are divided into 2 groups:

• wall;
• ceiling

They can be attached to the surface in an open or closed way.

The wall cornices are secured using 2 brackets. For product lengths exceeding 2 m, additional fastening is used every 1.5 m.

The following materials can be used in the manufacture of cornices:

1. Plastic. Affordable price and ease of installation, a wide range of shades and textures makes it possible to create any design. When using a wall-mounted option with bracket mounting, it is necessary to use lightweight fabrics.
2. Aluminum. Durable and lightweight material that can withstand heavy loads in the form of heavy curtains and multi-layer lambrequins. Aluminum models come in painted, laminated and decorated with plastic overlays.
3. Tree. The presence of different textures and shades will complement classic, ethnic, Scandinavian and other styles. This material can withstand a lot of weight and last for many years.
4. Steel. Suitable for decorating windows with a height of more than 3 m. This option is used when decorating a stage when it is necessary to place a large number of heavy curtains.
5. Forged. Such cornices are suitable for Russian ethnic style, as well as country and Provence. They are highly durable and can withstand heavy loads, while looking light and airy.

There are also combined options.

Regardless of the material and method of fastening, the products can support 1-4 sets of curtains. The design, designed for 4 sets, can accommodate tulle, curtains, hard and soft lambrequins.

There are various designs of cornices.

Single-tier and multi-tier

The first involves placing all the paintings on the same level. The latter make it possible to arrange tulle and curtains at different levels, creating a cascade effect.

Tire cornice

Cornices in this category belong to profile options and are used in baguette and bending structures. They look like a flat plate with a different number of tracks for hooks.

PVC tires cost from 500 rubles. (double row). The cost of flexible ones is from 1300 rubles. for 2.5 m, baguettes - from 1500 rubles.

Strings

Strings are used for light and airy fabrics. They are a stretched wire on which hooks are located. Equipped with a voltage regulator that keeps the mechanism in working condition.

This design looks light and weightless. It is used most often in techno styles: high-tech, urban, etc.

The price is from 60 rubles. for 2.5 m.

Profile

For their manufacture, plastic or metal-plastic more than 1 mm in thickness is used. These materials are used to cast complex profiles with holes for hooks. The number of tracks may vary (maximum number is 4).

Installation of curtains in such a structure is quick. The presence of rotary and corner parts makes it possible to create an oblique trajectory of movement of ceiling curtains.

The cost of such a design is from 600 rubles. 2.5 m.

Mechanical

Chains and cords passed through rings and hooks allow you to adjust the curtains. To do this, you need to pull the free end of the chain. This technique allows you to change the level of illumination in the room. Mechanical structures will become indispensable if there is no free access to the curtains along their entire length.

The price is from 1400 rubles. for 2.5 m.

Automatic

These are mechanical curtain rods, additionally equipped with small motors and sensors, thanks to which the system becomes self-managing: it can control the level of lighting in the room without human intervention. To do this, you need to program the controller to do the necessary actions:

• in the morning - to fully open the curtains at the set time;
• at lunch - to cover the window opening;
• in the evening - to complete closure.

Such a system helps not only to regulate lighting, but also to simulate presence in the house when the owners of the apartment are on vacation, etc. This mechanism can be controlled remotely using a remote control or SMS. Thus, when approaching the house, the owners will be able to open the windows in advance and enter a well-lit room.

Curtain for stretch ceiling

In everyday perception, a curtain is a light, transparent curtain that diffuses bright light from the outside of the window.

According to the designers' definition, a curtain is a ceiling structure onto which curtains will then be attached, hidden in a ceiling niche.

You can attach any curtain rods, remote control mechanisms for moving curtains, additional lighting components, for example, for LED backlighting.

Such curtains can be installed on all suspended ceilings, including complex, multi-level structures

Curtains for suspended ceilings are made from different materials. The most inexpensive curtains are plastic and aluminum. They are lightweight, but quite durable, and can withstand light to medium-heavy textiles.

Steel curtains are suitable for heavy, thick curtains decorated with lambrequins.

Wooden curtains are massive and the most expensive, for curtains of any weight. They are installed in country cottages, large halls and multi-room apartments with high walls.

Criterias of choice

There are three basic options for fastening the system that holds curtains or window curtains. All of them are universal and quite suitable for stretch ceilings.

But here it is important to remember that this method of interior improvement has its own characteristics, since tension fabric, especially PVC, is completely unsuitable as a supporting structure, does not tolerate cuts and lateral loads, and also slightly reduces the ceiling line.

So, the main classification of cornices is based on the method of their fastening.

Traditional wall option

It is extremely easy to install and requires minimal preparatory measures. It looks very good in interiors with high ceilings, but it looks extremely unprofitable where the ceiling line is lowered.

It is also important to consider the size of the window sill—more precisely, its outlet. Otherwise, it will turn out that even at the maximum reach of the mounting console, the falling curtains will begin to bulge where it protrudes into the room. This looks especially bad with curtains that reach the floor.

Timeless classics are equally well suited for both classic interiors and country style

Ceiling mounted

A little more finicky to install. Its advantage lies in the fact that you can choose to remove the suspension from the wall at your own discretion - there are no technical restrictions, as such.

In this case, it is important to pay a little more attention to the unit responsible for direct fastening to the ceiling, since the load vector coincides with the axis of the hardware that holds the cornice itself. Therefore, everything must be done carefully: no dowels or nails, only plastic dowels and screws.

And even better are anchor structures (especially with heavy curtains) - they hold up best in such conditions. Curtains on such a curtain visually increase the height of the room. Therefore, this type of cornice fastening should be given preference in small-sized apartments with low ceilings - it will create the illusion of additional space.

The cornice does not have to adhere to a straight line or go from wall to wall

Recessed or hidden

In fact, it is a type of ceiling fastener. But, unlike its open counterpart, there is always a special niche under the cornice, hiding all the elements of curtain hanging from the observer. It goes well with any interior style, but requires some technological tweaks.

With a hidden cornice, the curtains seem to come out, fall out from behind the ceiling, which gives the entire structure visual weightlessness

Also, in addition to the method of fastening the cornice, it is important to pay attention to the main material from which the structure is made. There are several standard options:

• tree. Most often found in wall structures or as a decorative element in baguette systems. Quite an expensive cornice, but the texture of natural wood gives a special nobility to the appearance of the curtain hanging system;
• plastic. The most budget-friendly type of cornice. It is very attractive with a variety of colors: it can be white, multi-colored, or imitating natural materials. The flexibility of the material makes it possible to construct systems that are very complex in configuration and design. Thus, you can find a plastic cornice either in the French style or in the hi-tech style;

• aluminum. Lightweight, durable, quite durable cornice. A large selection of textured and color polymer coatings allows you to choose a model that matches any interior;
• steel. It is superior in strength to all previous options, so a cornice made from it is recommended for heavy and thick curtains, for complex compositions with lambrequins and other weighting components. In terms of price, it is probably the most expensive option. But such extravagance often pays off in reliability and durability.

When choosing the type of cornice, it is better to adhere to the following rule: you should first assess the load on the entire system and only after that evaluate the external data of a particular model, choosing the one that best suits the interior.

Curtain sizes

The length of the curtain can match the size of the window opening - this is an economical option, or it can take up the entire length of the wall. The recess for the curtain (niche) must correspond to the length of the wall.

Price for curtain rods

The price of cornices for suspended ceilings depends on several factors. A budget option is a wall-mounted curtain rod. The price varies, depending on the material used to make the cornice, from 270 rubles per linear meter. up to 2000 rub./p.m. For ceiling plastic curtain rods, the price varies, depending on such nuances as the length of the cornice, double or triple cornice, with or without corner elements - from 500 rubles/piece. up to 1600 rub./pcs. Baguette cornices – from 2000 rub./piece. up to 9000 rub./pcs. The approximate cost of additional work to install a ceiling plinth in a niche is about 2,000 rubles. You can check the prices for curtain rods in your region by following the link.

Curtain fabrics

The texture of the curtain fabric determines their placement. To ensure good daylight, thin translucent curtains are hung.

In order to muffle very bright sunlight in bedrooms, children's rooms, and offices, thick cotton, velvet or velor curtains are hung.

Natural fabrics are suitable for classic-style rooms, while easy-to-care synthetic fabrics are suitable for modern design.

We must remember that curtains made from natural fabrics cannot be combined with synthetic curtains.

Niche design: creating lighting

It was noted that in addition to the main function, the box allows you to integrate lighting. The organization of additional lighting will look unusual and attractive. The lighting will create the effect that the curtains are airy. To achieve this goal, a strip with LEDs is inserted into a special groove. It can be any color; you don’t have to choose a classic one. This also helps to visually increase the height of the space. Relevant for low rooms.

@remontoffanapa.ru

The box for the curtain rod allows you to hide the auxiliary elements and leave only beautiful curtains for the eyes. There are several methods to implement such a project. One of them can only be performed by professionals. Therefore, if you plan to carry out the work yourself, it is worth taking into account the peculiarities of the methods for creating a recess.

The construction of the box should be planned at the ceiling design stage. Otherwise, it will be impossible to implement such an idea later. A strip of lighting will create an airy effect and add light to the room.

Colors

In well-lit, bright rooms, light curtains are also necessary. Pastel-colored curtains, such as Japanese curtains, look great against a white ceiling fabric.

But we must refrain from combining the ceiling canvas with the same white walls, so that the room does not resemble a hospital.

It is better to hang curtains made of fabric that is not heavy at all to a glossy ceiling.

Bright, massive draperies in deep tones are hung with dark ceilings.

For a modern style, pleated or Roman curtains, which are now fashionable, would be very appropriate.

Installation technology

There are 2 ways to install the structure - open and closed.

Closed method with a niche

Specialists will help you hide the cornice in a ceiling niche. You can install it yourself, but to do this you need to have experience in construction work.

To install the structure, the following materials are required:

• dowels;
• self-tapping screws;
• drill;
• screwdriver

The size of the niche in which hidden curtains are mounted must be calculated so that the curtains move freely without clinging to the walls and window sill. First, you need to install a wooden beam for the profile, which will serve as a mortgage element. It is installed using furniture corners, which are attached to the ceiling at a distance of 20 cm from the wall where the window is located. This distance is optimal for different types of structures and curtains.

The distance between the timber and the cornice should be minimal - 2-3 mm. Using an embedded element, the structure can be hidden in its recess. In this case, attaching the curtain to the suspended ceiling is quite easy.

First, the structure is secured, and then the ceiling is stretched.

Open way

When using an open fastening method, you will need a wooden strip or plastic, which is attached to the ceiling to the level of the film tension. The size of the plank is directly proportional to the size of the cornice.

First, the places where the structure is to be attached are marked, after which a profile is installed under which the film will be laid. Then they mark the wooden beams, pre-treated with an antiseptic, and install them. It is necessary to use a level at all stages of installation of ceiling curtains.

The cornice is attached to wooden blocks using self-tapping screws.

Types of sliding curtains

Light, almost transparent, elegant curtains. Their goal is to hide the home from views from the street, if it is the first floor, and to dim the bright sunlight. Along the lower edge, the fabric is often decorated with scallops, applique or sewing.

Curtain drapery – thick, almost impenetrable “night” curtains. Protects from heat in summer and from excessive evening and night outdoor lighting. Curtains are often decorated with a variety of decor.

Kiseya. Used as additional window decoration, and as a separate curtain.

An original part of the decoration will be a cornice illuminated with an attractive neon light.

Types of cornices according to installation features

It would seem, what options could there be, because the ceiling cornice is attached to the ceiling, and that’s it. In fact, there are some features, depending on which there are two options for installing a ceiling cornice.

Open installation method

The cornice will be visible to everyone who enters the room. It is impossible to attach the cornice to a suspended ceiling, therefore a mortgage is installed under the suspended ceiling in advance, on which the cornice will be mounted after the installation of the canvas. The work order looks approximately as follows:

1. On the rough surface in the area of ​​the future cornice, a support is pre-fixed - usually a wooden beam. To ensure maximum durability for the trim and cornice, the timber is pre-treated with an antiseptic or coated with a hydrophobic primer. attach the mortgage to the dowels, fixation occurs in pre-drilled holes
2. After this, the tension fabric is installed as usual, without any special features.
3. The cornice itself is attached using self-tapping screws at any suitable points above which the beam is located. During its installation, you cannot do without several holes in the newly stretched ceiling. However, if a real professional takes on such work, the above-mentioned changes will in no way be noticeable. To avoid deformation of the stretch ceiling, plastic rings are installed, and the holes are burned out with a special soldering iron, rather than scrolled with a self-tapping screw. In the end, holes are also made in the ceiling for chandeliers, and this does not cause concern to anyone.
4. It is extremely important that there are no gaps between the wooden base and the film - otherwise, the ceiling will “lead” and the canvas will be subject to deformation. If the ceiling is not very level, then special mounting wedges can be used between it and the mortgage.

Experienced installers strongly recommend choosing a thick beam so that the structure being fixed does not collapse to the floor under the weight of the curtains. In case of such a problem, you will have to redo both the suspended ceiling and the curtain. In addition, even before installing the stretch ceiling, it is better to select curtains and cornices so that workers can make the correct markings

Hidden installation

This option fits well into the concept of minimalist room design. The essence of such installation is that an indentation is made from the wall to a certain distance, from the border of which the suspended ceiling will begin. A niche is created. In a similar way, you can create the feeling that the curtains are flowing directly from the ceiling, and this will visually make the apartment more spacious and tall. The cornice can be mounted on a wall or ceiling, but the second option is chosen much more often.

The hidden installation method allows you to get a much more aesthetic result, but this solution is also more difficult to install. Several features will need to be taken into account

• It is necessary to think over the design of curtains and purchase a curtain rod before installing a stretch ceiling, because workers will need to determine the size of the niche and build it correctly;
• the size of the niche is calculated individually, but, as a rule, it is 15-20 cm;
• do not forget to take into account the design of the curtains and the width of the folds - it is important that the fabric does not constantly rub against the niche and suspended ceiling
• the cornice can be of any type.

A niche can be organized in one of the following ways:

• plasterboard box . A box is assembled from a metal profile, which is mounted with a special fastener. Next, the structure is covered with plasterboard, the seams are sealed with putty, and the surface is painted. The width of the box must be at least 50-70 mm, if it is planned to install LED lamps - from 250 mm. The obvious advantage of this format is the wide possibilities for design, and the stretch ceiling does not come into contact with the curtain, so the risk of damage to the fabric when installing new curtains is reduced to zero. A significant disadvantage is that the assembly and installation of a plasterboard box takes some time. Add to this the additional wait until the paint dries, and the installation of the stretch ceiling will have to be postponed for at least another 1-2 days.
• wooden mortgage. A piece of timber with a cross section of 30×30, 40×40 or 50×50 mm and the length of the wall (or slightly shorter) is fixed. For fixation, it is practiced to use reinforced metal corners, or, if the rough surface is smooth, long self-tapping screws through the embed. A baguette is attached to the lower edge of the beam, into which the canvas is tucked. The advantages of this option: the whole process takes extremely little time and can be completed by an installer right before installing suspended ceilings (usually the service costs 500 rubles per linear meter). Minor drawback : the wooden beam will be visible from the side of the curtain, but it is important to note that this is not a particularly common situation. However, the reverse side can also be hidden from prying eyes - for such purposes the film is not pulled directly, but with a bend over the bumper (such services will cost the client a little more). It is important to choose dry wood, and before installation, treat the surface with an antiseptic to further prevent the formation of fungus.
• Profile for BP-40 for cornices . This method is almost similar to the previous one, but instead of timber, a special metal profile is used. The latter is essentially an aluminum tube 2.5 meters long with a square cross-section of 40x40 mm and a gap for inserting the blade. A definite plus of this material: it is extremely easy for the installer to create a natural-looking rounded corner. The disadvantage is that although the installation process takes a little less time compared to timber, it also costs a little more.
• Special profiles “Niche” 2.5 m long or “Curtain” 3.2 m. Installation in both cases is quite simple - on metal corners. The rest of the niche can be covered with a piece of stretch ceiling. Such solutions enjoy well-deserved success, however, for a high-quality result, the installer must have the appropriate qualifications.

There is a type of hidden cornices called combined : in essence, this is any of the previous options, combined with perimeter lighting. From a design point of view, this is an extremely successful solution, and adding an LED strip should not significantly impact the customer’s pocket.

Selection of accessories

To decorate ceiling curtains, all kinds of accessories are used - tassels, eyelets, tiebacks, curtain holders and others.

When choosing these additions to curtains, you must follow certain rules:

No additional details can interfere with the overall design idea of ​​the room;

• three-layer and two-layer compositions should not have many additional details;
• simple fabrics of not very bright colors require bright additional details.

By skillfully hanging curtains hidden under the ceiling, you can create a wonderful visual effect that transforms any room.

Such curtains create elegance and coziness in the interior, and for rooms with low ceilings, these curtains are undoubtedly the best option.

Types of cornices by type of installation

Despite the fact that the topic of the article touches on cornices that are mounted under a suspended ceiling, it would be wrong not to talk about an alternative solution. So, according to the method of installation, curtain rods are:

• wall;
• ceiling

Wall cornices

The wall mounting option is the simplest, fastest and cheapest. Someone might think, why even bother with installing a cornice under a suspended ceiling, if at any time you can take it and attach it to the wall. Yes, it’s convenient, easy, and minimal preparatory work is required. In addition, the cost of wall cornices is lower than ceiling cornices. Another significant advantage is that there is no need to make holes in the fabric of suspended ceilings (however, with a hidden ceiling installation, you won’t have to make holes in anything either), and it will be much easier to replace the cornice with curtains if necessary.

On the other hand, a wall cornice can make low ceilings visually even lower (it seems to “cut” the room), so in standard apartments this option should be chosen only when funds and time are limited, and there are no special requirements for aesthetics. Wall-mounted cornices look best in rooms with high ceilings. However, it is impossible to say that this installation option looks unsuccessful, because if you approach the issue wisely, you can get a decent result, but again, if we are talking about a room with high ceilings.

When installing, you should take into account the window sill outlet, otherwise the curtains will unsightly bend around it instead of falling beautifully. You can carry out all the installation work yourself, having a level and a screwdriver in stock. Installation can be performed before and after the installation of suspended ceilings. However, installers still advise fixing the crossbar after the stretch ceiling - this way you can more clearly guess the height. And it’s much easier to focus on a baguette and microplinth that has already been leveled (especially important for several individual parts).

Installation is carried out on two brackets, and if the length of the cornice is more than 2 m, additional fasteners will be needed every 1.5 m. During installation, it is also important to take into account the distance from the cornice to the ceiling sheet - it should be such that the hooks, rings or other products on which The curtains are attached without damaging the suspended ceiling.

Ceiling cornices

Curtains attached to the ceiling cornice look as if they are flowing out of nowhere. The visual effect cannot be compared with wall mounting. In addition, such a cornice helps to visually “raise” the ceiling. Since the element is fixed at the top, the wall appears longer than in reality. This is an excellent design solution for a typical old housing stock with a wall height of 2.5-2.7 meters.

Ceiling cornice is an excellent alternative to drilling into walls. It is not always possible to violate the integrity of a vertical surface, especially after a fresh, expensive finish. In this situation, it is more logical to fix the cornice to the ceiling. In addition, we can highlight the fact that the ceiling cornice can withstand a large mass. The owner of the premises will be able to choose any fabric, including dense ones with a lot of weight.

In addition, there are cornices that provide an area for installing LED lighting. This solution allows you to turn the most ordinary cornice into the highlight of the interior.

Let's be honest, there is also a flip side to the coin: to secure the cornice using the open method, you need to make holes in the canvas. In this case, the suspended ceiling becomes more vulnerable in the event of flooding with water from neighbors above. Fortunately, this is practically the only disadvantage (which is absent with a hidden installation) and, if the prospect of flooding from above does not frighten you, you can install the cornice on the ceiling without any doubt.

Methods for equipping a niche for a tension system

A niche for curtains in a suspended ceiling is not a complex element in its design. However, to create it you will need a lot of experience and skills. If you wish, you can decide to work independently, provided that all the subtleties and nuances are observed. You need to know where to attach the structural elements and what fittings to use for installation.

What the main work looks like in this case:

• the recess is made using a metal or plastic profile, which is attached with dowels directly to the rough ceiling surface;
• a metal corner or wooden beam is fixed in different places, while at the same time constantly checking the horizontality of the structure;
• for those cases where lighting equipment is planned, profiles with a special shelf are used.
• profiles or baguettes in the place where the niche is planned are attached first;
• stretching the film or canvas is done only when the finishing of the niche is completed.

The main parts and structural elements are indicated in the figure, which allows you to get a fairly complete idea of ​​what you have to deal with. The presented set of equipment and devices is standard for the equipment of recesses in tensioned fabrics.

To work you will need:

• aluminum corner 40x40mm;
• bumper;
• ceiling and PVC plinth;
• harpoon.

This design is designed for the most rich equipment of the ceiling surface, including the installation of spotlights and hidden lighting.

Another option for installing the recess looks more affordable and simpler to implement. This requires a minimum of parts and connections. Instead of expensive metal components, you can use wooden blocks and plastic harpoon baguettes.

The simplest option is based on the use of a wooden block. The dimensions of the timber can be 40x40 or 50x50mm. Ceiling and wall moldings are used to fasten the canvas.

Materials

To understand which cornice is best to use for a suspended ceiling, you should understand the properties of all the materials from which it is made. For the production of most models, plastic is used, since it is characterized by minimal weight, a wide range of colors and resistance to negative influences such as corrosion or rotting.

However, natural raw materials continue to be in demand, so modern models can be created from the following materials:

• Steel.
• Aluminum.
• Polystyrene.
• Polyurethane.
• Wood.

Plastic

Plastic products are very popular due to their low cost and good strength properties. If necessary, the structure can be further strengthened. Plastic is also not subject to corrosion or rotting.

Aluminum

Complex openwork shapes and decorative elements are made on the basis of aluminum. The advantages of this material include:

• Ease of processing.
• Affordable price.
• Invulnerability to moisture.
• Wide range of models.
• Possibility of implementing any geometric shapes and non-standard options.

Often, bay windows are finished with aluminum structures and complex curtains are installed.

Steel

When wondering what types of cornices there are, you should also pay attention to steel structures. In most cases, they have the shape of rods, but square products are also available for sale. Depending on the interior features, steel can be finished with colored materials, including:

• Gold.
• Bronze.
• Brass.
• Copper.

The aesthetic appeal of structures is also enhanced by chrome plating. The main advantage of steel cornices is their high strength. However, they are heavy, so for error-free installation it is necessary to provide a stable mounting base.

Tree

Wood products are considered “classics of the genre”, which never loses popularity. To decorate wooden models, they are tinted, varnished or painted, and also processed using wood carving.

The disadvantages of wood include high cost and vulnerability to influences such as moisture or fire.

A wooden cornice is also quite heavy, and its installation process requires professional help. In order for a product to serve for a long time without deformation or damage, it needs to be provided with optimal climatic conditions.

Profile cornices and their advantages

This type is the most reliable and common. Rugged aluminum or plastic construction is easy to install and durable to use.

It is a profile, straight or curved, with a guide structure along which hooks with curtains move. They can consist of several rows or be composed of several single rows.

Their weight is very light and does not create a deforming load on the ceiling or walls, especially when drywall is installed instead of plaster.

A variety of such curtain rods are flexible, which easily bend in any direction. They can be rounded at the edges or given a wavy shape just by fastening along a given line, which can be very convenient when designing unusual layouts and bay windows.
