Choosing curtains on the grommet

Every detail is important in an attractive and harmonious interior. For example, quality curtains on the grommet can transform the situation, successfully completing it. It is worth examining in detail what are the pros and cons of such products, as they need to be properly selected.

Eyelets are rings that are fixed on the curtain fabric. In the future, these elements are put on the basis in the form of a cornice instead of traditional hooks or eyelets. Simply put, such products are curtains with rings, inside which there is a cornice. Precisely because of the presence of grommets, such canvases are called grommet.

Today, eyelets are incredibly popular. They can be found in many homes.

The demand for such products is due to the many positive qualities that are inherent in them.

• It is worth noting that the curtains on the grommets are very easily moved apart and shifted back. This quality is noted by many consumers who have installed such decorative canvases in their homes. According to users, the grommets do not cling to the eaves and do not require auxiliary parts for movement in one direction or another.
• Grommet curtains perfectly kept on the eaves. Whatever the effects of such products, they will remain on the eaves and will not get off of it. Usually curtains often fly off if they are held on simple hooks, and not on rings.
• Any curtains have to be sent to the wash from time to time. In the case of hooks or loops, the removal of the web often takes a long time. If the curtains are cringing, then they are very easily and quickly removed and sent to the washing machine. It’s not necessary to remove the rings themselves - as a rule, they are held as tight and secure as possible, so you should not worry about their presence in its place.

• After washing, the eyelets are easily ironed as these products most often represent a simple piece of rectangular fabric — there are no folds or assemblies on these materials.
• These types of curtains can be done by hand. Practically any needlewoman can cope with this task.
• Thanks to the grommet curtain canvases can be attached to the folds of the same depth. Thus, the curtains will look neat and aesthetic.
• Grommet curtains are permissible to hang in any rooms. It can be not only a hall or a bedroom, but also a nursery, a kitchen or a bathroom - the choice is only for the owners.
• Such products perfectly fit into different styles, especially when it comes to areas such as fusion, modern or high-tech.
• To curtains can pick up a variety of rings. It can be not only laconic circles, but also more original parts with embossed patterns that attract attention.

As you can see, there are a lot of pluses for all-curtains, that's why many consumers choose them.

However, we must not forget that these products have their drawbacks.

• From the curtains on the grommet will not be able to form a spectacular multi-layer construction.If you try to build such options, then this will require another rod base. As a result, an unnecessarily bulky structure may be obtained that weights the overall style of the interior.
• To fix the grommets, not every textile can be used. After washing, some types of fabrics shrink to varying degrees on the base and duck (a special fastening tape does not help here), which leads to serious deformations. In order not to face such problems, you need to choose the appropriate material or combine curtains from various raw materials.

Interesting grommet curtains vary in their configuration and main purpose.

It is worth considering the main varieties of such products.

• With lambrequin. Lambrequin is a small curtain of small length. They hang it on top of airy tulle. Such an attractive detail is designed to decorate and at the same time hide the eaves, making it more aesthetic. Lambrequins can have the same color as that of the lower canvases or differ from them in tone and fabric. These shortened types of curtains are often supplemented with elegant draperies or other decorative elements.In modern stores you can meet the whole sets of lambrequin and curtains, decorated in the same stylistic direction.

• Portieres. Very popular today cringing curtains. Such products are curtains made from high density fabric. Usually they are combined with tulle for better protection from the sun. Using beautiful portieres on the grommets, it will turn out not only to decorate the window opening, but also the whole wall, on which the window itself is located. It is necessary to take into account the fact that such canvases are often supplemented with original draperies and other decorative modifications. They can have a unique color to match the room or have a non-trivial textured surface. The main advantage of the cringing porter is that they can at any time be fixed at the required angle or draped at the request of the owners.

• Double. Combined and double grommet curtains look good and rich in the setting. Such products consist of 2 canvases, which are often performed in different shades.
• In the floor. The classics are alluring curtains to the floor.Such products can boast of expensive and decent design. With the use of curtains with eyelets in the floor, it will be possible to close not only the window opening, but also the heating radiator (in many circumstances it will turn out to “hide” the whole wall in the room). However, it is necessary to choose eyelets for the floor, carefully thinking about the convenience of their operation. It is worth remembering that the canvas in the floor can interfere under the feet of the household. In addition, they will quickly become contaminated due to their long length.

• Short No less popular today are short all-hole curtains. Such products will be a great solution if you plan to use the space under the window in any way, which is why it simply cannot be closed with curtains. Short varieties are used, for example, to decorate small kitchens, where under a window opening there are built-in wardrobes and other similar pieces of furniture. In addition, these types of paintings look good in the conditions of the nursery.

For the manufacture of eyelets curtains are not all types of fabrics. That is why the selection of material for such products must be approached especially seriously.

For example, for more subtle variations, the following types of textiles are selected:

• veil - this material is not completely transparent, it does not have luster, but it has a soft structure; you only need to take into account that the veil attracts dust to itself, and when it comes into contact with greasy stains it is difficult to wash off;
• Kissey - from such material yarn or rope curtains are obtained;
• organza - this fabric is more transparent, differs in rather tight filament plexus and inconspicuous shine;
• a mesh is such a fabric that consists of different sized cells (they can be small, medium or large); Such material is in many cases supplemented with interweaving in the form of various patterns.

For more dense grommet curtains are more suitable fabrics such as:

• Jacquard - this material has an interesting and attractive texture, curtains are made of it not only in different colors, but also in different levels of density; jacquard linen does not fade with time and serve for a very long time;
• satin - make beautiful and elegant curtains of it, which are distinguished by high hygroscopicity; this fabric does not accumulate dust on itself and does not cause allergic reactions;
• Satin - this lightweight and pleasant to the touch fabric, from which thick curtains are made, not afraid of frequent washings; high-quality satin products on the grommet can boast of environmental safety;
• taffeta - this textile is a subspecies of natural or artificial silk, differs in a spectacular appearance - on its surface there are rich light overlaps, which can give the interior a more elegant look.

The choice of suitable eyelet curtains is influenced not only by the taste preferences of the owners of the dwelling, but also by the specific room in which they are planned to be installed. So, in the conditions of kitchen, eyelets are the best option, because in this room any curtains are prone to frequent soiling, and cloths with rings are removed and erased the easiest. Selecting products for the kitchen, it is very important to pay special attention to the fabric from which they are made. It is necessary to give preference to more practical and less branded options that will not absorb extraneous odors. This means that silk, velor or velvet for such a room is not suitable.

In the kitchen, it is advisable to hang curtains of natural or blended fabrics, which include flax or cotton. For the kitchen, it is extremely rare to choose all-colored curtains, characterized by large volume and pomp. Deep folds on the canvases will also be superfluous, so the rings should be located at a considerable distance from each other. According to the designers, shortened copies are ideal for the kitchen, which are less susceptible to contamination. In addition, they are more practical in operational safety issues.

Grommet curtains - this is an excellent option for one of the main rooms in the home - the living room. Experts advise to apply to such curtains, if the hall is made in the modern stylistic direction. In more elaborate and pompous interiors, grommet canvases often look disharmonious; therefore, instead of them, it is better to complement similar furnishings with more elegant and luxurious products. For the living room you can pick up and original grommet photo curtains. When fully closed, such canvases will please the eye with interesting images - various landscapes or flower arrangements.And also in the halls very often hang eyelets curtains, consisting of several not very dense layers. It is permissible to combine textiles with different textures, as well as to arrange fabrics asymmetrically, complementing with accurate pickups.

You should be guided by the following rules when choosing colors for curtains:

• if the windows in the hall are facing north, then the curtain fabric should transmit light well; it is desirable to choose the canvas warm tones;
• if the room is bright, then dark grommets can be hung.

Grommet canvas should not only provide comfort in the bedroom, but also to protect it from the rays of the sun, as well as annoying street noise. It is desirable in the bedroom to combine curtains of 2 types. For example, it can be thick and heavy curtains, complemented by thin tulle, which will scatter daylight. For the bedroom air translucent curtains, complemented by roller Roman blinds, are also quite suitable. With the help of such products will be able to create the most comfortable and cozy atmosphere in the room. Designers are advised to hang in the bedroom linen pastel and soothing shades,which will not cause irritation.

Curtains on grommets look organically in many interior ensembles.

• High tech. In an environment made in this style, the grommet curtains in a monochrome palette will look great. They should be combined with floor carpets of similar colors. In this modern interior you should not resort to the use of a large number of deep folds, and the grommets themselves should not be much.
• Shabby chic. Not bad all-over curtains look in the interiors in the style of shebby-chic. For such environments it is best to choose canvases, supplemented by the effect of aging. The color of the fabric can be chosen pastel. In order for all the details to be assembled in a single ensemble, you will need to turn to the appropriate decorative elements.

• Country For this style, it is recommended to choose all-out curtains and cornice, having a shade of natural wood. With regard to the composition of the fabric, you should give preference to flax or cotton. It is better to adhere to the maximum naturalness to create a cozy atmosphere in the room.
• Minimalism. In a minimalist interior, grommet curtains also look harmonious.In this case, you can give preference to bright and eye-catching colors, but bright and numerous prints or patterns should be abandoned. Cloths must be of high quality and concise.

• Gothic. PSelecting eyelets for the Gothic interior need to be very careful not to reduce the cost of the ensemble. In this case, it is recommended to use velvet fabrics on the eaves and mounts made of dark shade wood.
• Avant-garde In the avant-garde interior will look spectacular contrasting canvases, different non-standard geometry of the lines. Of course, you can use monochrome variants in the floor to form a kind of background to other bright objects in the setting.

Previously, the canvas on the rings usually had standard and inconspicuous colors, for example, white or cream. Today, in stores you can meet the eyelets curtains, made in different colors. Nowadays, unusual products of deep black color are terribly popular. Similar models fit perfectly in minimalistic ensembles. As for the level of light transmission, it can be completely different - the choice of the optimal variant depends on the desires of the owners.

The real hit of the season is the bicolor grommet.They can be combined from the combined canvases of different colors or have a gradient color. Such interesting and rich options will be a good addition to the interior of the kitchen or children's room. Lovers of more standard and classic solutions can choose universal light curtains combined with curtains. It is permissible to choose canvases of high density in any color suitable to the general environment. Of course, you can make a color emphasis on such products, but you will need to beat him with decor or furniture in the interior.

Grommet curtains today are available as short and long (in the floor). To choose a suitable length of cloths you need on the basis of the main purpose of the room in which you plan to hang them.

• For the kitchen, it is undesirable to choose elongated options in the floor, as they will interfere with comfortable movement around the room, and will also often get dirty. In these conditions, the best will look products, the length of which reaches the line of the sill or to the midpoint of the window.
• This also applies to the nursery. It is not a secret for anybody that children are very active and mobile, therefore during games they may get entangled in elongated curtains, which will lead to tearing off the eaves.In the nursery, it is better to hang medium or short curtains.
• As for the living room and bedroom, here it is worth giving preference to the beautiful long curtains, which do not slightly reach the surface of the floor.

To calculate the size of the curtains on the grommets, it is necessary to determine the eaves on which they will be installed. And also it is important to consider the place of its direct location. It is necessary to know these parameters, since it is from the eaves structure that further measurements will be made. You need to take a tape measure and take a series of measurements, writing them down on paper, so as not to forget.

To calculate the size of the curtains, it is necessary to measure the following planes as accurately as possible:

• first you need to measure the parameter length of the eaves; all measurements need to be done in the framework of restrictive details - pendants, since the curtains will not go beyond them anyway;
• measure the distance from the floor to the eaves;
• measure from the highest edge of the sill to the eaves.

Eyelets are different. They differ in their form, material production, as well as decoration.

Depending on the material of manufacture, the following are distinguished:

• plastic;
• metal;
• wooden crafts.

According to the structure, I distinguish such variants of eyelets as:

• square;
• round;
• triangular;
• polygonal;
• in the form of flowers, fish, hearts and other similar elements.

As for the decoration, the grommets are as follows:

• matte or glossy;
• gilded;
• imitation of genuine leather;
• beads;
• rhinestones.

For cringing products it is permissible to use exclusively pipe curtain rods. However, this does not mean that all these elements have a boring and monotonous appearance. Today, one can meet many variations of such bases, made of various materials.

The choice of consumers offers such types of curtain rods as:

• forged;
• rubber;
• openwork;
• in the form of flowers;
• with unusual geometric contours.

Cloths on a rod of tubular type are suitable not only for decorating a window opening, but also for visual separation of living space (zoning). Often, in large spaces of impressive size, unique walls or screens are mounted, the function of which is performed by a thick canvas on the rings. To form the most original design, tulle on the rings is permissible to combine with roller or Roman curtains. In this case, it turns out very light and attractive model. Adjust the level of illumination of the room will be able with the help of roll parts.

It is very easy and simple to hang eyelets. Of course, first you need to fix the eaves.

Canvases themselves can be hung in the following ways:

• in most cases refer to the “through the ring” method;
• a little less often, auxiliary elements (hooks and laces) are attached to the eaves pipe, and only then eyelets are attached to them;
• non-standard solution - fixing eyelets curtains without the use of a cornice, when the hooks for the rings themselves are installed directly into the wall.

Dense all-out curtains made of chocolate shade with a slight shine will look great in the living room with walls of soft coffee color, floor, lined with gray-brown laminate, and snow-white furniture.

Dark glitter deep blue curtains with contrasting cream inserts in the upper part will look organically in the spacious light living room or office with soft purple walls, snow-white ceiling and shining wooden floor.

In the bright bedroom, made in "orange" colors, will look spectacular straight curtains in black, white and red stripes. Especially original, they will look like being on a bay window near a snow-white bed.
