We select curtains on triangular windows

Triangle-like windows appear not only as the result of design experiments. On the top floors of houses with a mansard roof is the only possible option. Great difficulty in such cases is the selection of decorative elements for its design.

Special features

It is very difficult to choose curtains on a triangular window, especially if the condition of free closure and opening is set. These requirements are fully satisfied only:

  • jalousie;
  • classic curtains;
  • pleated

In order to properly assess the situation, one must take into account that all windows that have a corresponding upper part enter the category of triangular ones. This rule applies even if the whole structure in general resembles a pentagon or other shape. The dimensions of the windows can vary, some of them are equipped with a window sill, while others reach the floor. There is such a specific feature as a different number of valves.The general point is that no typical sizes are worked out, and all curtains on a triangular window are sewn to order.

General recommendations

Getting acquainted with photos in catalogs or making a sketch, it is important to remember a few rules that allow you to arrange the room as gracefully as possible. The first principle is that you should not be ashamed of the unusual configuration of the opening. On the contrary, you need to try to emphasize it and focus on this point. Therefore, the recommendation to choose curtains with the least number of decorative elements is also logical.

The next important point is the method of fastening the eaves. It is placed at an angle to the surface of the floor, and you need to fix the curtains motionless so that they do not roll down. If the top of the opening is formed by a pair of lines, that is, the upper point of the triangle is at a distance from its sides, it is required to choose a curtain that fastens into two cornices. If the atypical view of the window is designed by designers for the decoration, it is allowed to use the simplest cornice. It is fixed above the windows or on the ceiling, after which they hang all sorts of curtains, so that they fit the setting.

Species

Classic type

With the help of curtains and curtains, you can draw a triangular window in many different ways, without constraining the play of imagination. Use of any fabric is allowed. The only requirement is that the colors do not violate the chosen color range. In extreme cases, you can play on the contrast. If necessary, hang curtains on an inclined cornice most often used adhesive tape brand Velcro. Then instead of the eaves use a wooden bar. Act as follows:

  • take a bar of small section, the length of which coincides with the length of the upper part of the opening;
  • attach this bar using screws;
  • tape is glued over the bar;
  • exactly the same piece of tape must be sewn to the curtain or curtain.

In some cases, you can cover up the part of the bar outside the window contour. But this is left to the discretion of the owners themselves. In another embodiment, the sticky element is replaced with special hooks. Fix them on the eaves of the same bar will have a step of 50-70 mm. The upper edges of the curtains are then fixed by loops or rings.

But it also happens that both the described options are not satisfied with the owners or designers. Then it is necessary to apply the grommets.Cornice in the form of a bar with them is incompatible, it is required to use a tubular structure.

Eliminating the descent of the curtains down helps fixing the last eyelet at the highest point.

Curtains in the described scheme can only be partially moved apart. Opening up their help:

  • magnets;
  • hooks;
  • braid (exactly the same as attached to the bar).

Jalousie

Such a decorative element is found a little less than portieres. If the opening is very wide, mostly vertical fabric blinds are used. But a small window should be decorated with horizontal PVC structures. But a common feature is the accurate accounting of geometry and window area. Since the installation is extremely complex, it is recommended to entrust it to professionals.

The cost of blinds is higher than the curtains of the classic performance. However, investments are fully justified, because these decorations last longer and use them much more conveniently. On windows that have one bevel, vertical-format blinds are most often placed on the ceiling. But on the windows with a pair of bevels, the installation of blinds over the opening is recommended. If we are talking about a horizontal element, then it is necessary to mount it directly on the sash to ensure their autonomous use.

Pleated

Under this name is hidden a relatively new, but already reached great popularity subspecies blinds. The advantage of such structures is the possibility of their installation on the openings of various forms. The curtain is formed by 2-3 profiles of aluminum, the intervals of the profiles are filled with cloth. When the blinds are raised or lowered, the matter folds into even stripes. The width of these bands is 2.5-5 cm, in general, the composition is similar to an accordion.

Manufacturers process canvases with special reagents. Thanks to them, even after several dozen washes, the form and color are preserved in their original form. Another advantage of the pleated is the installation on the sash, that is, the absence of problems with the use of any parts of the windows. Appearance laconic: the newest blinds occupy the minimum part of space. With their help, it is possible to clearly emphasize the geometry of the opening.

When choosing between these structures, you should consider the specific advantages of each option:

  • traditional curtains offer an extraordinary scope for design delights;
  • vertical blinds help to expand the window visually;
  • With the help of plisse and horizontal blinds, it is possible to fully use windows with multiple doors.
