Choosing curtains on the beveled window

 Choosing curtains on the beveled window

Attic is now quite common. But with all the efficiency of such premises in comparison with "full-fledged" apartments, they have one drawback - sloping ceilings. Therefore, windows and curtains should also not be the same as usual. Oblique windows attract attention and freely let in sunlight. They also allow you to air the room fully. But when arranging a dwelling, it is not so easy to hang a curtain on a similar window. Especially many problems arise in inexperienced people. Eliminate the difficulties is quite possible - you just have to do everything correctly.

Recommendations for selection

It is hard to pick up curtains on sloping windows because a specific type of cornice is required. Already then uneven curtains are hung up to it.If you want to maximize a window that is too small, you will need a long curtain. It is advisable to add lambrequins to the windows in the form of arches. According to the designers, the curtains of a light and monophonic look should be selected for the windows with a beveled corner.

In any case, it is necessary to give preference to natural fabric. Especially well flax and silk. As for coloring, it should be elegantly combined with the surrounding decoration. Then decorative objects will not violate the created composition and even become an additional link in the decor. For this purpose, many professionals suggest using white textiles translucent weaving - it is considered almost universal option.

When you make triangular openings or with many corners, we must not forget that they themselves are clearly visible. Therefore, when selecting curtains for such windows with a bevel, it is undesirable to increase attention to them. Overloading with textiles will only worsen the impression and also complicate the design too much.

The competent selection scheme is as follows:

  • first looking for suitable curtains;
  • then select the fabric that will create a good drape;
  • and last of all they are engaged in the selection of color and size.

Subtleties of the procedure

If the bevelled window configuration is caused by the repetition of the lines of the attic roof, it is required that the eaves duplicate the geometry of the ceiling. But for arched openings suitable flexible elements. They have special restraints, excluding the sliding of curtains. There is another solution, when the curtains are hung on the frame, corresponding to the size of the window. If a need arises, all that remains is to raise the frame and open the window itself.

If the window is located in the very roof of the log building, use special Roman blinds. A hard bar at the bottom helps them hold.

When the decision on the format, it is necessary to accurately measure the opening. Then, according to the contour, the material is covered. It is recommended to make a bevel above, and a flat line below, while taking into account the need to bend the fabric.

There is another scheme:

  • installation of attachment points along the perimeter;
  • pulling curtains on fasteners;
  • collection of curtains using wings or grabs.

Window opening in various rooms

In the attic kitchen rarely equip, but to know about the design of the windows in them is still necessary.In such a room fit only natural fabrics, covered with non-flammable coating. The good news: homeowners can conduct experiments and demonstrate all their imagination. You can hang and pelmet, and fish tails. But it is important to remember about the restriction: only such curtains are admissible that do not create excessive volume and do not look like small lumps of fabric on a giant opening.

In the bedroom with large windows, there is no point in saving on material. Moreover, connoisseurs recommend the use of free flowing long curtains. It is very good if they form dense vertical folds.

It is worth paying attention to the selection of matter of elegant color. Whether to make the curtains monotonous or in two different colors is always decided individually.

In living rooms and halls most often used multi-tiered curtains, which hang pelmet. Mostly thin tulle is used as the bottom layer, and dense fabric is placed on top. When the day comes, the heavy part of the curtains moves away. As soon as it is evening twilight, the curtains fully open. If the room has a large height, sometimes oblique cut mask, hanging curtains vertically.

Work with openings of different types

Arched openings are often complemented with curtain rods installed above the line where the arch is rounded. As a result, the curtains are 100% cover the design. Then, when opened, a “surprise” appears. But in most cases, the curtains are still hanging quite low. Then the top opens completely and you can immediately see all its decorative qualities.

To best demonstrate the elegance of the frame, at the bottom of the curtains are collected using grabs. If you want to further focus on an unusual arched shape, you need to use retractable curtains, converging to the middle of the console. You can choose various options: in some cases the canvases are very closely approximated, in others - they come overlapping and are held by hooks from the sides. The combination of the eaves in the shape of an arc and a number of pickups helps to fully reflect all the elegance of the window.

The role of pickups on a beveled window may be different: they are often used to set a certain level of illumination. There are various formats of pickups: tape, in the form of strips or brushes, but they all set a certain position relative to the holder, hidden in the wall.Portieres can solve the task of framing an oblique window both by themselves and in combination with tulle.

The second option is to choose when they want to disguise batteries or other poorly looking parts, as well as add room to refinement. The interiors in the style of minimalism allow you to safely hang the sloping windows with Roman curtains, but it is permissible to raise them only to the lowest point of the bevel.

If the idea with such curtains is in doubt, you can give preference to the Austrian or French variety. And for fans of original solutions, the use of typical eaves, which have a straight contour but are placed on different tiers, is often the ideal choice. If such a decision is made, it is advisable to hang canvases of rich colors, securing them with eyelets.

The full illusion of a regular opening with right angles is created if:

  • from above to put an equal eaves;
  • use retractable curtains;
  • close the remaining space with the lambrequin.

Particular difficulties arise when the beveled window has a great height. But still there are techniques to solve this problem. In such cases, a lightweight straight curtain of monolithic linen is used.The choice arises between Roman and Japanese panel-type curtains. Both formats harmoniously solve the problem of adjusting the illumination, at the same time giving the room coziness.

When there are several small windows in the attic, it is preferable to use blinds. Their main advantage is that it is easier to find the required set of a large number of openings. Installation is relatively simple, and subsequent use is also not too difficult compared to using curtains. The only problem is that the blinds are made in a small range of colors. Even an individual order for a specific design will not be considered.
