for ceilings more suitable curtains of dense and translucent fabric. Tulle can be used if the window on the sides is covered with curtains, but this option is not the best for hinged ceilings, as the width of the cornice for fastening the curtains is too large.

curtains What better with StretchM ceiling look
It's better to stop your choice just on the curtains, which will be supplemented by some kind of figured lambrequin. And all this will be kept on the same level. Moreover, it is better to fasten the cloth itself closely to the bend of the box. Thus, the excavation under the cornice will not be noticeable at all and the impression is created that the curtain goes directly to the suspended ceiling.
Based on the foregoing, it is recommended to choose the curtains of the following materials:
- silk;
- velvet;
- atlas;
- jacquard;
- solid organza;
- suede( paring).
Tips on how to fasten the curtain to the tension ceiling
Attach the curtain to the tension ceiling through a hidden curtain rail. In practice - this is an ordinary metal profile with a groove in which hooks are inserted, but it is located in the recess of the ceiling( about 3-5 centimeters).
Of course, you can use some kind of wide decorative cornice, but looking at all this in sum will be too pompous and "expensive".This is already creating a too pretentious situation, which in no way decorates the interior.
So, to fix the curtain to Stretch ceilings can be as follows:
- a hidden ledge;
- on just a stretched string;
- on plastic fasteners;
- on aluminum fasteners( the cheapest and unreliable option, especially if the curtains are heavy).
Hidden curtain on the suspended ceiling: installation
On the ceiling under the concealed curtain is mounted a groove-groove. It is best to use the most common drywall with primer and glued film. You can install it even with conventional screws or dowels, only the caps should be hidden also( those that are included in the profile).
A hidden niche on a stretch ceiling is made with a width of the border of only 5-10 centimeters. You can do more if curtains close the window opening, or, for example, access to the balcony, attic, stairs. In them, and installed ceiling cornices, which are the most common metal profile with a groove.
The design can also be hanging, if it allows space allocated for this. The same bending of the film can be hidden with a smooth transition upwards, closed also with a film( simply by pulling).
is necessary to pay attention to the so-called baguette cornices.
From the usual they differ:
- by the presence of a decorative front part;
- Curtain wound on the cornice in several layers;
- on the sides remain protruding parts of the baguette( and a characteristic bend of the tree).
But this option is suitable only if the installation is performed on a very wide window or hides the balcony exit. In the latter version it will be necessary to carefully choose a composition from the curtains and curtains, so that the exit is convenient and hidden behind the decorated cloth.
Niche under the curtain in Stretch Ceilings: options
If you plan to hang the curtains is a hidden niche, then mount the cornice in this case, the ceiling on capital. You can close it with whitewash or with the same film( glue it better on a polyurethane base).You can generally leave a slit only a few centimeters, which will be covered with a wooden or gypsum plasterboard beam.
Another simple option for a niche is the installation of a wooden bar. It is fixed not to the wall, but to the ceiling. In the cavity of metal profiles, a wooden beam is simply installed and the cornice attached to it. The deepening of the niche will be minimal in this case.
And here it is better to screw the hidden cornice profile with screws for concrete( or bricks).That's only necessary to choose the color such that it completely when combined with a touch of stretch film( or plaster ceiling finishes if it was done).
In this case remains:
- open access to the window( where you can place potted plants);
- possibility to open a window;
- install also blinds( to adjust the sunlight in the room).
Deficiencies in hidden niches only one - the difficulty in attaching the curtains themselves. The procedure simply takes a long time, because the hooks will be in a small and narrow niche.
How is the niche created?Of the same metal profiles or plastic slats with grooves( if the film was mounted in this way).The simplest option is to set the profile perpendicular to the ceiling. The empty cavity of this cavity turns into the ceiling. If the width between the film and the base is too small, then the groove is created by a transverse profile with a choice of thickness( not less than 12 millimeters).But when the projection is planned to be made smaller - it is better to abandon it altogether and pay attention to the construction of other cornices. Which ones will work in this case?If you want to get results, when the curtain falls down without a gap in front of the ceiling, it's best - a baguette option.
It is recommended to pour a niche inside the house with a construction or mineral wool fiber. If the ceiling was made deep, it will improve its sound insulation. Otherwise, in the apartment, it will drastically decrease.
The niche can also be created on the basis of a wooden decorative beam that is fastened under the ceiling. From its back side the cornice is mounted, which is the same metal groove in the tongues protruding from above. In such designs, the fastening of the curtain is advantageously carried out on rivets.
At what distance from the ceiling to hang the curtain: the choice
In principle, you can hang the curtain at any distance from the ceiling. If you use open cornices, you do not have to guess at all - the indentation is automatically adjusted( the cornice is attached to the ceiling, not to the wall).
That is, the external fasteners in general will not be visible and will have an impression that the fabric falls straight from the stretched ceiling film. It is allowed to indent only in case of using a molding cornice. But at the same time it will still be a hidden decorative strip( wooden or plastic).
So when selecting curtains fixing distances can use the following guidelines:
- Ideal - the same level of a stretch ceiling.
- The concealed niche is also closed with a curtain, close to the box.
- You can also hide the cornice with a stretch film. Only the groove remains visible. There will be no indentation at all.
- If the composition is supplemented lambrequins, then there is better to consult with the designer. For example, a decorative canvas is better to hang higher, whereas curtains or drapes can be lowered below. Here you should already consider the style of the interior.
