Brief description of the structure, advantages
The eaves are usually closed with a special niche. Its arrangement, design features should be planned in advance - even at the stage of finishing the ceiling. In the niche, you can hide all objectionable functional parts of the curtain, set the backlight, create the effect of a floating curtain.
The space of the niche does not require special finishing, it is still hidden by curtains
For a secret fastening of curtains suitable cornice of any convenient design
Note! If you do not foresee a niche in advance, in the future you will have to dismantle a part of the finish, change the tension structure, or come up with a decorative element to hide the suspension.
The size of the niche depends on the design that must be placed in it.
When to use?
When it is necessary to place the curtains behind the ceiling plinth, in a special niche? There are two objective reasons for this.
- Functional need. Such a need arises in rooms with a stretched ceiling. Rigid structures should not be mounted on the surface of the film; wall eaves are not all suitable either. It is easiest to provide a special niche at the stage of installation. Its dimensions are determined individually.
The threads of this curtain seem to flow from the stretch ceiling, with the eaves of an open type this effect cannot be achieved
- Interior preferences. Standard curtain rods have long lost their popularity. They are difficult to fit into modern interior styles. Today it is fashionable to decorate the windows with air curtains flowing from the ceiling. This spectacular design technique is particularly relevant for the styles of minimalism, modern, loft.
If the eaves do not match the style of the space, you can simply hide it.
Benefits
The most important advantage is aesthetics. In how attractively, a floating curtain looks unusual, the photos in our article will make it possible for everyone to be convinced.Closed suspensions mask unattractive parts of the wall, visually correct the height of the ceiling, make it possible to decorate the design with light illumination.
Hidden fastening curtains appropriate in rooms with low ceilings
Ability to adjust the distance from the window. In some apartments are installed wide windowsills. In this case, the wall-mounted version of fastening the curtains is absolutely not suitable. On the ceiling, fabric can be placed at any distance from the opening - for any width of the window sill.
Fastening the curtains in the niche removes the problem of choosing the design of the eaves and accessories
Focusing on the decor. Not quite attractive fasteners will not distract from the beautifully flowing fabric. Even the backlight installed in the niche will not pay much attention to itself. They only slightly emphasize the textile composition.
With the backlight, you can easily create a unique atmosphere in the bedroom
Thick wall curtains will make a narrow room visually wider
Variants of hidden ceiling eaves
There are two options for masking:
- in a special niche;
- masking with the help of framing designs.
The first option involves the construction of a notch in a stretch ceiling or in a plasterboard ceiling. The optimal niche for curtain sizes will be individual. They depend on several criteria: the width of the window sill, the characteristics of the curtains, the dimensions of the gimbal itself (it may have several bands). The depth of the trench is usually standard - from four to fifteen centimeters. Depth will depend on the features of the ceiling structure.
Niche may be provided when installing a suspended ceiling
You can also make a separate design, covering only the eaves itself.
If you do not want to install curtain walls, you can resort to the standard mounting method - wall. At the same time, the unsightly suspension is masked by decorative baguettes. Decorative plates will be able to close the fasteners, decorate the interior, do not require effort to install. This design method is relevant for classic designs.
Making a hidden suspension by yourself
To close the eaves, the easiest way is to make a drywall trench. To do this, you need to know in advance the features of the curtains, the length, the width of the eaves.
Niche width calculation
You should also prepare some tools, materials:
- building roulette;
- drywall sheet;
- long metal ruler;
- knife with replaceable blades;
- peeling plane;
- ceiling, guide profiles;
- screwdriver;
- self-tapping screws.
First you need to prepare drywall. Cut it into strips of the right size - from four to fifteen centimeters. Drywall cut with a knife.
Having made the workpiece, you can begin to install the ceiling, guide profiles. Of them need to build a metal frame niche. Profiles are mounted on the markup. It can be applied to the ceiling with a regular pencil, a masking cord. When fixing, we adhere to one rule - the dowel pitch is at least 60 centimeters.
First, strictly on the markup set the first profile.
Then mount the frame of short jumpers and lower profile
Then we form the sides of the box. To do this, use the prepared plasterboard sheets. Sheets are fastened in increments of at least fifteen centimeters. Then in the similar way we mount face parties. They are treated with a plane. At the end of the sewn bottom box.
The box is ready for the putty, which is performed with a reinforcing mesh
After that, you can engage in the design of the decorative component. The box can be putty, paint, paste over the wallpaper.
After completion of the dirty work, you can attach the eaves
Choosing a cornice
The choice of hidden curtain rods is usually in the selection of designs for three main criteria: the weight of the curtains, the length of the window opening, the number of strips.Also, when choosing, it is necessary to take into account the material from which the suspension will be made.
First you need to decide on the design of the curtains, and then choose the eaves
A separate niche above each window is a time-consuming decision, but a very original one.
Types of materials, a brief description of the eaves are discussed in the table:
| Type of cornice on the material used | a brief description of |
| Wooden | Absolutely suitable for any room. Especially well in tune with the styles of classic, provence, country music. Most often wooden models are installed in children’s, bedrooms. High environmental requirements are always put forward for these rooms. Wooden hangers can withstand high loads. |
| Plastic | Modern plastic does not turn yellow for a long time, is eco-friendlydurable. Affordable price is another important advantage. Plastic models are usually chosen for light curtains. |
| Metal | They are distinguished by a variety of design, high durability, and are capable of withstanding enormous loads. Ideal for hanging heavy, layered curtains. |
| String | Ideal for light, air tyuly. They are a metal string. The design of the eaves as simple as possible, will be able to serve for a long time. The main condition is not to hang heavy curtains on the strings. Due to the high load, the string will begin to sag over time. |
The most commonly used option is a plastic profile tire that can be hidden in a niche that is only a few centimeters deep.
