Ceiling hidden curtain rods

The main task of the ceiling eaves is the ability to securely fix the curtains. And then the question of aesthetics arises. But not always the standard version fits into the interior style. Especially when it comes to modern design solutions. Therefore, the desire to remove the eaves, but to leave its functionality is understandable.

Hidden designs look very nice indoors. Visually raising the ceilings, they create a harmonious and impressive interior, paying all attention to the massive and weightless fabrics and decorative elements. The curtains seem to flow directly from the ceiling.Expanding the space, ceiling eaves increase the area of ​​the room, which is an undoubted advantage for miniature apartments.

What are the hidden ceiling cornices, what is the key feature and how to choose and install correctly - we will tell in the article.

Often, the desire to hide the eaves arises among holders of stretch ceilings, when you do not want your eyes to cling to a metal pipe over a window instead of a smooth covering and shiny fabric. At the same time, in a well-designed interior, at first glance, it remains unclear how the curtains falling from the ceiling are fastened.

The main advantage of the built-in eaves is the possibility of using in non-standard rooms with an unusual window shape. In this case, the design itself can adapt to any features and repeat the U-shaped, curved and semicircular line.

Why it is worth choosing the hidden eaves? For low ceilings using the usual coarse cornice is unacceptable. One element will be able to visually steal most of the room. For such apartments, a hidden ledge for curtains is perhaps the only preferred option that can make the room more spacious and wider:

• Thick curtains in the entire width of the wall look very concise, beautiful and modern.
• Hidden designs are great for a room with suspended ceilings. The proximity of the hidden eaves and vulnerable ceiling coverings is absolutely safe and will not cause damage to the film.
• Vertical folds of curtains, flowing down without any support, look incredibly beautiful and expand the space of the room.
• For owners of wide window sills, recessed cornices are an excellent way out. With such a window feature it is rather difficult to choose the appropriate option. And with a hidden design, you can hang any curtains, regardless of the window sill.
• Install self-built cornice is no more difficult than normal.

Invisible cornice fits perfectly into any interior and is a practical and versatile solution:

• In the additional ceiling niche in front of the wall, you can hide wires, draw an Internet line, ventilate, or decorate the structure with additional lighting.
• Color, texture, elegance of fabric and decor come first in the interior of the room.
• Extends the field of work for design ideas and solutions.
• Hidden curtain rods cost less than standard open-form models.

Hidden cornice is a special tire that is mounted in a niche above the window. The distance between the wall and the ceiling design is so small that at first glance it is not even noticeable. At the same time, the ceiling does not reach the wall 10-20 cm. The appearance and design of the window look very unusual and attractive.

Hidden view of the installation represents several options. Main types:

• plastic tires with several rows - this option is the most common;
• round rods - this option is suitable only for a fairly spacious niche between the wall and the ceiling construction;
• String - the cheapest option, but not as convenient as compared with a plastic bus;
• flexible - used with non-standard path.

Depending on the design, the design idea of ​​the window opening and the number of layers of curtains, the number of rows in the eaves is selected.

Modern ceiling structures are available in several versions:

• Aluminum - light and durable eaves, suitable for thick, multi-layered and heavy curtains.Moreover, its price is higher than on models from other materials.
• Plastic - lightweight, durable and cheap, but suitable for a lightweight curtain.
• Wooden - light and natural, has an attractive appearance.
• Steel - durable and reliable, able to withstand a lot of weight.

The color of the cornice does not affect the overall style of the room and remains invisible, so the standard white is often chosen. The main requirement is design reliability, smooth and silent movement of parts. To create a romantic highlight you can use the LED strip in the niche. Solid light bulbs will not only complement the decor of the window, but also create a muted background lighting.

Stretch ceiling is a unique design, the smoothness of which attracts attention. And it is important to take into account the many nuances and very carefully approach the choice of decor. It is impossible to install a standard cornice on the stretch ceiling. Therefore, the hidden structure is not a whim, but a functional necessity. In this case, you can hide all the minor flaws and it is advantageous to emphasize the tension structure.

At the same time, niche elements and curtains will not come into contact with a delicate ceiling covering, which will exclude the possibility of deformation of the web. Such an interesting decoration option creates a magical light atmosphere. And it is considered appropriate in the apartment, house, salon, restaurant and office. Installation of eaves should begin before installation work on the ceiling.

According to experts, this is the most optimal material in which there are no harmful substances. But having a small strength, it is not able to withstand a large weight of curtains, so select in advance the appropriate options for registration.

To create the illusion of a hidden eaves for the ceiling is quite easy. To do this, it is enough to install a decorative baguette plinth around the perimeter of the ceiling and directly in front of the niche. At the same time, the fastener design must reliably hide behind the covers and create the effect of falling curtains. Decorative elements are made of plastic, metal or wood and must completely hide the elements of the structure of the cornice.

The variety of decorative cornices is striking: weightless acrylic structures or metal ones with engraving - choosing the option that is suitable for a unique interior is easy.
