Eyelet Tulle

Modern designers offer many options for fixing curtains in the room. The most unusual - hooks fixed on the wall above the window. But today we will consider a fairly common method of fastening curtains on grommets.

This method has gained popularity because of the convenience, functionality and beauty. The curtains form even folds, and the rings allow you to open and close the window without any problems. In addition, the grommets have an aesthetic look.

Rings give ease to any window decoration and can be used in any room of the apartment. As well as in offices, restaurants and conference halls.

The main advantages of tulle on the rings:

• convenience - the curtains on the grommet easily glide over the eaves and allow you to adjust the level of lighting of the room;

A thin translucent veil, combined with a cloth on the rings, will allow you to adjust the lighting level of the room. And the unusual combination of monophonic linen and tulle with a subtle print in the same color scheme looks very original.

Grommets are divided into categories:

• material - metal, plastic, wood;
• ring diameter: from 1.5 cm to 5 cm.
• the form: circle, square, triangle and other curly variations;
• color and design: under a tree, bronze, gold, leather, matte, glossy, with rhinestones, etc.

Metal rings are the most durable, but they are susceptible to corrosion, which will have a negative impact not only on the grommets themselves, but also on the fabric. Rust stains on light tulle will definitely attract attention.

Crests of wood should fit and complement the interior of the room. But such rings can not be subjected to frequent wet cleaning, so for the kitchen it is better to choose another option. The most versatile, simple and durable option - plastic eyelets.A wide color palette and a variety of forms will allow you to choose the appropriate option for different styles of rooms.

To keep the curtains in shape and not lose their attractive appearance, the upper part of the canvas is fixed on the grommet.
