Eaves hood

Everything should be beautiful in the interior: from furniture to decorative objects. An important role in any room is played by properly selected curtains and curtain rods to which they are attached. The latter can be decorated in various ways. For example, today in many stores you can find beautiful blends of different styles. Let's take a closer look at these interesting details.

Nowadays, you can easily create a harmonious interior in any way. To do this, you must correctly select all components of the situation. It is possible to emphasize this or that room style with the help of beautiful curtain rods. You can add brighter colors to their design using a blend.The main purpose of these additions is to decorate the front of the ceiling eaves.

Moreover, such inserts may well hide the ugly hooks to which the curtains are attached. These decorative slats are present today on many plastic and aluminum profile rails. As a rule, a hood is a thin plastic strip trimmed from the outside with various materials. Such elements are equipped with special fasteners, with which they are attached directly to the eaves.

Blends are divided into individual types in accordance with the external color:

• Most often in the interiors are found Classic white trims. Such products can be called universal, as they easily fit into almost any ensemble. They can be picked up for the eaves, having a different form and invoice.
• Truly chic and rich in appearance have options whose surface imitates natural leather, reptile skin, wood different shades and other similar materials. Such detail can play the role of a bright accent in the interior.
• More simple and unobtrusive are plain blends. The most common instances of brown, gray, burgundy, green and black shades. As a rule, such models are selected in accordance with the color scheme of curtains, but contrast combinations look no less attractive.

• It is possible to emphasize the wealth and aristocracy of the situation with the help of spectacular trims with additional decorations. This may be refined stucco, sparkles, a placer rhinestone, artificial stones of different colors or glass inserts. Often, such instances can be found in fanciful and nontrivial styles, such as baroque or avant-garde.
• No less elegant look molding strips. The moldings in this case are a special insert imitating the precious metal.
• Expensive appearance can boast blends with carved details and patterned reliefs. Their surface can imitate natural wood, gold or silver.

Also, decorative strips for ceiling eaves vary in materials. Most often in stores are inexpensive plastic products.This material has the flexibility, strength and unpretentiousness. He does not need to provide constant care. Modern manufacturers produce a lot of high-quality and wear-resistant metal-plastic slats. Such designs will serve their owners for many years and are unlikely to lose their original appearance. Similar products are recommended for large and long cornices. Unfortunately, in our country metal-plastic strips are extremely rare.

If you wish to transform the situation with such an interesting detail, then it is better to take the selection as seriously as possible, otherwise the cornice will look inharmonious in the interior. At the initial stage, a hood should be watched, based on the width of the section provided for it on the curtain. If you skip this item, the composition will be strange and ridiculous.

Be sure to consider the room footage and the dimensions of the window opening.For example, in small-sized spaces and small corbels, large and good-quality strips, complemented by artificial stones and rhinestones, will look unfortunate. That is why it is so important to select blends based on the interior and floor space. In the case when you want to fill up the room with a beautiful plank with a picture, you need to ensure that its motive and color fit into the concept of the situation.

Decorative hoods are made exclusively for ceiling constructions made of plastic or aluminum, so you should not try to put them on other fasteners. Today, many firms divide similar products into subgroups, depending on which fasteners and materials they are made from.

Once you have purchased a version of the appropriate style and performance, you can proceed to its immediate installation. But how to properly wear a decorative hood?

We will deal with this issue in stages:

• If you bought a bar with special locks, then you will only need to snap them into the prepared side sinuses located directly on the curtain.In this case, the hood will be installed along the entire length of the most smooth and true.
• If such fasteners are not provided in the decorative strip, then on the area where this part will be located, you need to glue double-sided wide adhesive tape. After that, the decor can be firmly pressed to the sticky surface. However, this method has a serious drawback: in the future, it will be impossible to remove or replace the hood, because high-quality and reliable double-sided tape will securely connect both parts.
• There is another way to install an additional bracket on the mount. To do this, stock up with glue and adhesive tape. But here it is worth making a digression and mentioning that after such work the hood will become permanent and become a lifelong component of the cornice.

First you need to stick one of the sides of the adhesive tape to the curtain using superglue. The second side must be glued to the strap itself. After that, both parts should be tightly connected to each other. For additional strength on the inside of the velcro between the eaves and the bar you can apply a little more glue.

The right blend can breathe life into the interior and make it more complete. For example, in a minimalist green bedroom with a white ceiling and beige floor, you can hang cozy lime curtains on the cornice, decorated with a simple white strip of large width. Beat the ensemble with a small green high chair near the window, white pillows on the bed, a green blanket and a caramel carpet on the floor.

In an elegant bedroom with snow-white walls and a ceiling, as well as a gray-brown floor, you can put a double white bed with chocolate linen, a beautiful white chest of drawers and complete the interior with warm curtains of creme brulee on the ledge with a chocolate carved plank.

An interesting and cozy interior is obtained if you place a wooden bed with a high headboard and footboard in the room with a white ceiling and walls, as well as elegant armchairs with carved legs and soft upholstery with carnations. The windows in this room should be decorated with beige curtains with dim floral prints and a beautiful bar, made in the same way.

A golden hood will look beautiful in a bedroom with a white ceiling and walls covered with wallpaper with golden patterns.Put in such a room a white leather bed with cream pillows and a dark chocolate spread. Place a chocolate leather chair near the windows. On the eaves, hang translucent curtains cream shade.

Striped curtains combining brown, yellow and blue, as well as a dark chocolate blend with imitation wood and thin white lines will look no less original on a snow-white background.
