How to attach curtain holders

The interior of a house or apartment depends on the design of windows. They are sources of light, which means they should look the most attractive. Windows are most often decorated with curtains and tulle. However, curtain holders are a more “talking” part of the interior.

These are special hooks or clips that can be attached to the wall. Holders for curtains hold curtains or curtains, at the same time being a significant decorative part of the interior. They play such a prominent role in the design not only of the window, but also of the room, that they should be carefully and thoughtfully arranged.

Types of curtain holders

Today the choice of holders for curtains is quite complicated. A large variety of these decorative elements makes us think not only about their preferences, but also about the acquired holders to reflect the interior of the entire room, responding to its spirit and style.

Holders for curtains or curtains differ in the production of materials:

• Holders of wood.
• Plastic holders.
• Holders of their metal.
• Cloth holders.
• Combined holders.

The choice of holders depends on the weight and type of curtains. If heavy curtains are used to decorate the window, then the holders should be more massive, able to hold this particular fabric.

Mounting options

In determining the location of the holders for curtains, every detail matters:

• The height of the window sill;
• Fabric curtains or hail;
• The color palette is not only the textile design of the window, but the whole room;
• The style of the room.

For premises, furnished with antique furniture, ideal large holders. They will perfectly fit into the interior of the room, giving it the charm of antiquity. Modern style of the room requires the use of modern holders for curtains - metal, unusual shape. For children's rooms, the best choice will be special fabric holders for curtains in the form of small fabric toys.

Before you attach the holders for curtains, you need to determine their location on the wall near the window opening. It plays a big role in the overall interior of the room. There are three main options for mounting decorative elements to hold curtains or curtains:

1. At the level of the windowsill - the most common method of attachment. With this method, the windows do not seem too wide, and there is enough light in them. Holders for curtains divide the space of a vertical wall exactly in half, which looks as harmonious as possible. This method is suitable for bedrooms, living rooms and children.
2. Above the middle of the wall, dividing the space by the window into the upper third and lower two thirds. Ideal for narrow windows. Such an arrangement of holders for curtains or curtains visually expands the window, while retaining all the light entering the room outside. However, not too heavy fabric is suitable for this type of fastening.
3. Below the middle of the wall, as well as the line of the window sill. This way of placing holders effectively narrows too wide a window. At the same time part of the natural lighting of the room is lost. Heavy curtains are remarkably suitable for such fastening.

The choice of this or that method depends on the style of the room, its purpose and the desired way of lighting the room. For example, in the kitchen, where the tulle comes down only to the window sill, and there are no curtains, the mount above the middle of the wall will look natural and attractive, thus increasing the amount of light coming into the room. On the contrary, a study or library needs heavy curtains that can be held by fixtures below the sill line. This will give the room the appropriate attitude - working, secluded. For a usual bedroom or a living room, the traditional method of fastening curtain holders is suitable.

To determine the mounting method that is right for you, you need to try to assemble the curtains or curtains in a certain place and evaluate the resulting effect. Selecting the desired point for attaching the holders, you need to fix it - with a pencil or a narrow strip of adhesive tape.

The main motto in determining the location of the holder: measure seven times, attach once.

Experts recommend not to rush to make a decision, and try to temporarily fix the curtains or curtains in one way or another and live with each of them for several days. The method of fastening curtains, which will be the most harmonious, and will be the most successful for a particular room.
