The window, as one of the most important elements in any living space, needs proper design. And, as a rule, window decoration should not only harmoniously complete the interior of the room, but also be its highlight.
Today there are simply a huge number of design options for window structures, but despite such diversity, curtain tulle ranks first among the most popular materials. The fabric market is so diverse, and the emergence of new trends is not long in coming. But even such material cannot completely guarantee a successful design if you don’t know how to beautifully hang tulle and how to combine it correctly.
Window decoration
Curtains with eyelets: brief description, varieties
Tulle is one of the most popular design elements for window openings. Suitable for windows of various shapes and sizes. The fabric of such a curtain is very thin, almost transparent. However, it copes well with its basic functions and can be used independently, in combination with curtains.
A lightweight tent can be made from natural and artificial materials. Cotton, linen, and polyester are popular. The fabric is cheap. Its main feature is that it can be painted in any color.
Eyelets - loops, rings. They are located in the upper and dense part of the tent. The rings are used for fastening to the cornice. Retaining rings give a dramatic look to curtains that fall in beautiful waves.
The right combination of tulle with curtains
Standard cotton or organza tulle without large patterns is often complemented with curtains without patterns. Or vice versa, hang thick curtains with a pattern and plain curtains.
Curtain tulle in combination with curtains can quickly and easily balance the excessive bulkiness and severity of curtains.
Important. It is not recommended to combine curtains and tulle made from natural fabrics. For example, a linen curtain and an organza curtain will simply look ugly.
In addition to the standard, familiar thick curtains, light curtains are combined with:
- roller blinds, if the transparent sheet covers only half of the window, regardless of the length;
- contrasting Roman blinds, which are attached inside the window or hung on the other side of the cornice;
- with thick thread curtains, provided that the tulle is openwork or translucent in a single color.
In any living room, window decoration is the main interior decoration, emphasizing the style of the room.
How to choose the right tulle curtains with eyelets
The first step is to decide on the purpose of the tulle in the decor of the room. It can play the role of the main decoration, be the highlight of the interior, or simply be a complementary detail. In the latter case, the curtains should unobtrusively emphasize the main decorative elements. Curtains should be in harmony with the style of the room.
If different styles are used to decorate a room, then it is better to stick to pastel curtains. When combining tulle with other fabrics, do not forget that only one material can be structured. It’s the same with color - only one fabric can have a rich shade, others must shade it. When combining materials, it is necessary to choose the right tones. It is necessary to correctly calculate the required amount of material.
Tunnel
This is the simplest method that does not require additional material:
- A strip of fabric from the curtain is folded up.
- It is stitched, forming a kind of tunnel into which the pipe is threaded.
Hanging thread curtains in this way is not difficult. The only thing to consider is that when preparing the tunnel, you need to give the canvas the design you want.
Disadvantage: limited movement.
Advantages of eyelets
Eyelets are small hooks that are attached to the window opening. They are pre-attached over the fabric to securely secure it to the curtain rod.
Rings can be made of different materials. The cheapest models are made of plastic, but there are also metal and wooden rings on sale.
This method of fastening has gained wide popularity due to the fact that it looks beautiful and is practical and highly functional.
In fact, thanks to the use of eyelets, the curtains lie in even folds on the floor and can be opened and closed without much effort. This is especially important if the tulle used is made of thin, easily torn fabric.
Of course, few buyers seriously think about the functionality of the stand. Because, first of all, they value appearance. Fortunately, the design looks very cute and very presentable. Therefore, there are no particular difficulties in choosing a suitable model.
In addition, some metal eyelets look much more expensive due to the variety of stones used to decorate them.
Such models are usually used to decorate a room in an apartment, rather than an office or conference room. The photo of the tulle on the eyelets shows how light the whole structure is.
Therefore, for offices, plastic or wooden eyelets are a more suitable option, which can also add lightness to any chosen window project design. Very often they are also used in restaurants.
The main advantages of the design, in addition to practicality and aesthetic appearance, are:
- versatility - the design looks beautiful without the use of additional decorations, so you can refuse to buy it;
- durability - eyelets of any model can significantly extend the life of the fabric, minimizing the risk of its breakage during operation;
- reliability: the curtains are very securely attached to the eyelets, so you don’t have to worry about the design just falling on your head one day. It will not happen.
Some designers also note that with the help of eyelets you can successfully play with light and shadow. By choosing the right window opening design, you can even visually make the room more spacious.
Types of curtain tapes
Curtain tape is a fabric strip that is sewn to the back of products. The width of the material is conveniently adjusted with cords located in the ribbons.
Thanks to the braid, you can create a chic drapery for any fabric. This eliminates the need to sew additional loops for such hooks. The threads on the sides are sewn together as quickly as possible, the total sewing time is reduced several times.
There are several types of curtain tapes that are used in practice by designers:
- When using adhesive tape with loops everything is secured to the cornice.
- If you use hot irons for gluing.
- Involving the use of sewing machines.
- With assembly coefficients from 1.5 to 3. The number determines how many folds there will be on the product.
- When there are a lot of draw-out pockets for hooks, or vice versa.
- With the formation of bows.
- With tucks.
- Wide up to 15 centimeters.
- Narrow.
The following elements are often included with curtain tape:
- Cords for tie.
- Fastening with hooks and pockets.
- Sealing elements.
- Ring parts for eyelets.
The size of the folds determines the length of products such as tulle on curtain tape.
Types of eyelets
Material type. Eyelets can be metal or plastic. The cost of the latter is lower, but their characteristics are not inferior to their metal counterparts. In addition, they are not afraid of corrosion, are fixed manually, and their low weight allows them to be installed even on very thin materials.
Shape and size. Most often, eyelets are made in a round shape; oval-shaped products are less common. Their peculiarity is strict requirements for placement on the material, the inadmissibility of the slightest distortion. Rings come in different sizes. For curtains, products with a diameter from 1 cm to 5 cm are used.
Color and design solution. Eyelets are available in a wide range of colors; options for various metals, leather, and wood are also used. An interesting idea of the designers are models of geometric configurations related to the nautical style (steering wheel, porthole).
When choosing color, configuration and pattern, it is necessary to take into account the direction of interior design in general and curtains in particular.
The density of the curtains affects the material of the rings, so plastic products are usually used with tulle. The diameter of the eyelets must be selected based on the parameters of the frame.
Metal
The metal elements are durable, but when the coating is abraded, they can become covered with a layer of rust. For this reason, it is recommended to remove them before washing and carefully inspect them from time to time. If dust has been wiped off the surface, the element can be coated with colorless varnish. This will help prevent rust stains on the curtains.
Stainless steel
This option is ideal for interiors in high-tech, minimalism or loft style. However, the elements do not cause problems in operation and are not very cheap.
Plastic
Plastic products are presented in a huge range of colors, which allows them to perfectly match any fabric. They are non-corrosive, lightweight, and suitable for tulle.
Tree
Wood products are not the most practical option. Over time, they dry out or become deformed after drying. They are rarely used.
What should you pay attention to before purchasing curtain mounts?
Curtain fasteners are a very important component in the design.
It can completely change the impression of the canvas. Therefore, you should carefully consider your choice. The first thing you should pay attention to is the overall style. Do not forget about the type of frame and the density of the material. For example, if you decide to attach curtains to the ceiling, ribbons or hooks are best.
In the vast majority of cases, they are attached to a ceiling or wall frame.
Some types of reinforcement allow the material to remain flat, while others allow it to fall in waves. In some rooms, strict design is more important, in others certain freedoms are allowed.
An incorrectly selected frame can negate the entire attractiveness of the curtains and disrupt the stylistic unity of the interior.
You should think in advance about how you want the structure to look. Decide whether it will be heavier or lighter. Please note the following recommendations:
- select fastenings for curtains to the wall at the renovation stage;
- you need to respect the interior as a whole;
- if you have a frame installed, it must match the color scheme of the furniture or upholstery;
- for fastening you can use rings, braids, loops, clamps;
- for low ceilings, it is better to attach curtains to the ceiling, which will give the room a more spacious look;
- it is recommended to fasten heavy materials to more durable structures (for example, metal);
- It is recommended to decorate narrow windows with a semicircular frame.
The cornice fasteners are selected based on the design of the cornice itself, the density, texture and color of the fabric, as well as the characteristics of the curtain model.
Selecting a cornice
You can see that eyelet tulle looks very attractive in professional photos. However, the appearance of the composition depends not only on the canvas itself. It is important to choose the right decorative element, especially the cornice. The frame can be made of different materials:
- Plastic. This is the cheapest option. Available to consumers in a wide range of colors. However, it is not at all distinguished by reliability and durability. For light curtains in the kitchen, it is better to buy a plastic curtain rod. But you shouldn’t expect a long shelf life from it. Plastic can be damaged by sudden changes in temperature and high humidity.
- Metal. These products have a unique design. They look elegant and sophisticated. The metal cornice goes well with metal eyelets. This is a good solution for decorating a large room. The metal curtain rod may be slightly wider than the window. This will prevent the curtains from looking jammed.
- Wood. An excellent option for a nursery or bedroom. The wooden cornice goes well with metal, plastic and wooden bushings.
By choosing the right curtain color, the interior of the room will look unique and rich.
Important! When purchasing a curtain rod, you should consider the diameter of the bushings. The frame should be smaller than the width of the rings.
Calculation of tulle length after choosing cornice and fittings
When answering the question of how the tulle should hang, you should first correctly calculate the required length of the fabric, taking into account the type of cornice chosen and the corresponding fittings.
Typically, the length of the tulle is taken with the expectation that 1-2 cm is required from the floor or ceiling. A more practical fit would be to hang the tulle 10-15 cm from the floor (window sill). The calculation is performed by measuring the distance from the cornice to the floor, taking into account the allowance for the hem at the bottom and for fixing the tape at the top.
The choice of cornice directly depends on the style direction of the interior. For the kitchen, you should use the most practical type, such as a rod or ceiling cornice.
As for accessories, they can be divided into 2 main categories:
- fastening elements (clips, rings, loops, hooks);
- decorative (braid, cords, fringe).
Tulle hooks
Tulle on eyelets: how to hang
There are several ways to hang the canvas:
- on the cornice strip,
- with hooks on the ledge,
- to special clamps installed in the wall.
The easiest way is to choose the first option. The hanging doesn't even last two minutes. The main condition is that the cornice has a smaller diameter for the rings. The number of rings must match. Then the edges of the curtain will be turned to one side.
Attaching curtains to a string cornice with photo
Let me remind you that in a wire frame the load-bearing element is metal or elastic PVC wire. However, it is preferable to use a metal cable, since the PVC can stretch over time, causing the curtain to sag.
Indeed, attaching curtains to string curtain rods is not much different from the options for attaching curtains to tubular curtain rods.
In laced frames, the curtain can be attached to the rings using hooks and hangers of all types, eyelets, loops and lace. All these methods of attaching curtains are described above.
Perhaps the most significant difference is that the diameter of the string is much smaller than the diameter of the support pipe. Therefore, consider this point when choosing the size of rings, hooks, loops and rings. Don't choose them too big. It is desirable that all elements be commensurate with the diameter of the rope.
The photo shows examples of attaching curtains to a string frame.
Curtain design options
For each window and room you can choose your own special curtain design. In this way, the individual taste of the owner can be emphasized.
Striped
Striped tulle curtains go well with other furniture and also help regulate the proportions of the room.
Lace

Monograms
Monogrammed canvases are always distinguished by their artistic craftsmanship. Such an unusual picture brings beauty and special sophistication to the room.

Flowers
Tulle curtains with eyelets with flowers look very harmonious. To enhance this effect, you can collect items with similar motifs in paint on the headboard, dresser door or cabinet door.
Tulle decorations
There are many ways to decorate a curtain using additional elements made on your own from scrap materials or purchased from specialized stores that sell sewing accessories. The choice of jewelry depends on the preferences of the housewife; the only condition is the weight of the decor - too heavy objects on light fabric will look out of place, and under their weight, the tulle will sag in the most inappropriate places.

Dormer windows
The attic has a complex configuration, with windows located on an inclined wall. In this case, light drapery would be appropriate. When decorating attics, curtains are complemented by a lower cornice.
Wide curtain tapes, creating folds
It is better to make tulle from transparent fabric. Then it will not shine through and will not spoil the overall appearance of the structure.
Next, calculate the length needed for the tape:
- The length of the ribbon is proportional to the length of the tulle.
- They rely on the size of the window opening, adding 10-15 centimeters in reserve.
- Example - for 1 meter of window they take 2 or 3 meters of tulle.
The process of sewing ribbon to tulle itself should also not cause much trouble:

- The tape is stitched along the edges at the bottom and at the top when everything is ready. This must be done near each cord if the design is quite complex.
How to sew curtains with eyelets with your own hands
Making a spectacular display “dress” on rings yourself is not difficult, the main thing is to buy the accessory in the right quantity. Plastic or metal rings vary slightly in size, and if there is a round frame, then the diameter of the hole should be much larger than the core section of the baguette. Equal distances between sections are preliminarily marked, which subsequently form soft folds. Non-woven adhesive material is used to seal the eyelets.
There are 2 options: process the seam using rings or tuck the entire area under the holes, this fastening will be more reliable. At equal distances, make round holes for the grommets, which have 2 snap parts. Under curtains with eyelets, it is better to take light plastic rings for light tulle, and metal rings for heavy curtain fabrics.
Methods of attaching curtains with photos
- At the cornice. Classic positioning of fabrics. There is a large selection of similar products on the modern market. They vary in shape, assembly, material and color. The structure can be attached to both the wall and the ceiling.
- Fastening systems without cornice. If the design does not have cornices, the curtains are attached directly to the windows, ceiling or wall. Iron or clear PVC hooks, stiff rope, electrical tape and even a dry branch can serve as accessories. There are no restrictions, it all depends on the designer’s imagination.
The photo shows a bedroom with an unusual window opening, the eyelets of which are attached directly to the wall.
Tulle on eyelets in different rooms
Elegant tulle on rings is an excellent design solution for residential and non-residential premises for various purposes. It can be used to decorate the windows of the corridor, nursery, bedroom, kitchen, balcony.
The effect of eyelets in such situations is difficult to overestimate, because tulle itself is a simple fabric, and it is these rings that make it truly presentable and beautiful. However, the choice of model for each room has its own characteristics. The color of the rings is matched to the tone of the canvas, cornice, and furniture in the room, which will allow you to create a single composition.
Kitchen
When choosing tulle for kitchen eyelets, you need to take into account some features of the room. There is often a foreign smell and bright sunlight in the kitchen. This room often needs cleaning, because this is where the best culinary masterpieces are created, and the whole family sits at the table. Curtains should not absorb foreign odors, be easily removed from the drain, and be easily washed in the washing machine.
In order for beautiful folds to form on the tulle curtain, its top must be reinforced with a special thick tape.
In addition, when choosing tulle for the kitchen, you should consider the following recommendations:
- Don't buy floor-length models. In the kitchen, light and short curtains look more relevant. Long canvases will look good in the interior of the dining room.
- The fabric of the product must be mixed. The last option is linen. These fabrics are easy to wash if necessary.
- When buying a ready-made curtain, you should take into account the features of your kitchen. All features matter: size, interior style, furniture color. So, for small rooms you should choose a canvas made of light, plain fabric.
- A light shade will visually enlarge the space.
- The position of the oven must be taken into account for safety reasons. If the slab is located near a window, then the length of the canvas should not be less than the window sill.
If there is no suitable one among the ready-made patterns, you can sew the curtain yourself.
Note! In order for the fabric to retain its appearance for a long time, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of caring for a particular fabric. The washing and ironing temperature specified by the manufacturer should not be exceeded.
Bedroom
Long tulle rings are always gorgeous. This option is considered ideal for the bedroom. It can be safely combined with roller shutters and roller shutters.
The color of the curtain should be in harmony with the main color of the design. If the bedroom is small, it is better to give preference to light shades - white, beige. A larger room size will give you more freedom of choice. You can take a closer look at models with small or medium patterns and bright colors. For the bedroom you should choose models made from natural materials - cotton, linen.
Important! At first glance, a red, yellow or black curtain in the interior looks elegant and charming. However, it is not recommended to use several too bright colors at the same time in the bedroom design. They can negatively affect the process of falling asleep. Colorful colors excite the centers of the brain, preventing you from relaxing and getting ready for sleep.
Children's
Tulle with such a durable and convenient type of fastener as eyelets is especially suitable for a children's room. It can be used either independently or in combination with curtains. It is also often used as a canopy over a children's bed.
In a children's bedroom there is always an individual interior idea. Accordingly, tulle should catch the eye. Here you can simultaneously use sheer curtains and night curtains on the eyelets. For these cases, you will need to choose a frame with two tubes.
Patterned tulle looks impressive on eyelets with an interesting fold shape. From the outside they look starched. Do not forget about the strength of the structures - the eyelets should be metal, silver-plated or gold-plated. But at the same time, choose so that their shadow is close to the one that is present on the canvas.
Living room
Tulle is most often used in the living room with curtains, but sometimes as an independent unit. Suitable for all styles, from modern to classic, and linen and cotton complement high-tech or minimalism.
When choosing a canvas, first of all, take into account the location of the windows and which side they are facing. For example, in a room with sufficient natural light, it is better to use curtains made of thick, heavy fabrics. You can also hang tulle with a similar fastener or Roman blinds here.
It is also important to pay attention to the cornice. It should look attractive and harmonize perfectly with the color of the curtains. For example, a gold or silver cornice will go well with white tulle. In most cases, it matches perfectly with the color of the loops on the curtains.
Cabinet
Laconicism will emphasize the character of the room and provide maximum comfort. Fabrics with simple prints, such as stripes, are popular.
What is important to know about the practical use of tulle in the interior
Tulle is a word of French origin, masculine, although in the Russian-speaking environment there is also a feminine version. The name was fixed after the invention of special textiles at the manufactory of the town of the same name. Since then, many have been interested in the question of how tulle should hang on windows and at the balcony door.
The concept of “tulle” unites many fabrics produced using different technologies from various materials.
Today, under the general name “window tulle”, several textile samples are produced from different types of fibers:
- veil;
- taffeta;
- marabou gas and almost invisible illusion gas;
- nylon with embroidery;
- large, medium and fine mesh;
- analogue of “tulle”;
- organza (made of silk or viscose);
- curtain fabric made of polyester fiber;
- polyester curtains;
- linen textiles for windows;
- non-flammable synthetic fabrics for kitchen decoration (also suitable for smokers’ bedrooms).
The veil comes in classic white, colored and draped
Before purchasing, you need to have an idea of what material is suitable for draperies and how to hang tulle correctly. For southern windows, dense taffeta that diffuses daylight is more acceptable. This material bristles at the folds, so it is not used for soft draperies.
The choice of tulle largely determines the illumination of the room
Important! Warm yellowish tulle shades do a good job of imitating the sun's rays on the north side of the house.
A yellow veil will add bright colors to the kitchen interior
Some fabrics are made from transparent or almost invisible fibers. Before hanging the tulle, it is important to consider how to attach it, for example, with loops or eyelets. The use of “gas” is multi-layered styles and curtains for dark rooms where you need to let in as much light as possible.
Tulle, produced by a special weave that leaves space inside the material, is called gas tulle.
The colors are very varied:
- flower bouquets;
- all kinds of plant elements;
- gradient (color transition from dark to light);
- abstraction, rainbow stains;
- large and small pattern;
- drawings on ethnic and oriental themes.
The choice of textiles depends on many factors. The mesh looks extravagant, but does not diffuse light well. It is more suitable for rooms that do not receive direct sunlight.
Among the varieties of mesh tulle there are models with different sizes and shapes of cells
Types of curtains with grommets
Curtains with eyelets have a number of differences in their purpose, type and configuration. In this section we will look at the main types of such curtains for the home.
Combined
Curtains consisting of two panels of fabric of different shades and textures are called combined or double.
Short
Short eyelet curtains will be your best choice if the space below the window is intended for indoor use and cannot be draped. Such models are used, for example, in small kitchens, where built-in cabinets and other furniture are located under the window. These curtains look great in the bedroom too.
Curtains
Curtains are thick fabric curtains that are combined with tulle to protect yourself from the sun. Using eyelet curtains, you can decorate the window opening and the entire wall on which the windows are located. This type of fabric is distinguished by a wide variety of curtains and design solutions. They can have an interesting shade to match the room or have an unusual texture. The advantage of curtains is that they can be fixed at any time at the desired angle and draped to your liking.
With lambrequin
A canopy is a short curtain that is hung on thin tulle. It helps to decorate and disguise the frame, as well as make it more elegant. Lambrequins can be the same color as the lower curtains or differ from them in shade or material. Short curtains are often decorated with drapery and other decorative elements. On sale there are sets of lambrequins and curtains, made in a single style.
To the floor
Floor-length curtains with eyelets are an interior classic. With their help, you can close the opening of a window and radiator, and in some cases, the entire wall. Floor-length curtains look elegant and expensive in any interior. However, when choosing this type of design, you need to think about the practicality of such a solution - floor curtains can get in the way and quickly get dirty from below.
Design tips
Despite the fact that hanging tulle on a cornice is not difficult, some designers still offer some tips on how to beautifully assemble a tulle composition for a window, for example, the necessary drapery and the shape of the curtains.
How to create the necessary drapery and curtain shape
Tulle draping can be done in 2 ways:
- fixed;
- using accessories.
Fixed drapery should be done at the stage of sewing the curtain using a special curtain braid, which is glued or sewn on the wrong side of the fabric. They create drapery by pulling out the adjustable laces with which it is equipped after sewing the curtain tape.
Creating drapery using accessories: using staples or tiebacks, this allows you to adjust the number of folds and change the shape of the curtains at any time.
Draping curtains
How to create folds
Before draping the tulle, you should first decide what type of folds you want to make.
There are mainly 3 types of basic folds:
- one-sided, where the tulle is laid in one direction;
- counter, where they are laid so that the folds are folded towards each other;
- bow ones, where paired folds are laid so that their folds are located in opposite directions (the wrong side of the opposing folds).
Tulle today has considerable popularity, not only because this fabric is light and airy, but also because of the possibility of creating an original and unique window decoration. Light and elegant tulle can fit perfectly into the interior either as a single design or in combination with curtains.
Curtains with eyelets: choice of material
Depending on the type of curtains used, you need to choose a mounting method. Curtains and tulle with eyelets are not only a beautiful design, but also functional.
Therefore, the choice will have a direct impact on the useful life of the structure. However, making this choice is much easier when using grommets. After all, there are no strict restrictions.
It is permissible to choose not only light fabrics, but also use thick curtains. However, tulle is usually attached to the eyelets.
Tulle can also be made from different materials:
- organza - the fabric has a very pleasant texture. The main advantage is lightness, since such fabric can be secured in any convenient way. Inside, it looks not only organic, but also weightless. In this way, it becomes possible to create an almost magical atmosphere in the room;
- Voile is a more durable fabric, so it is often preferred by buyers who are afraid that tulle will quickly tear. The veil will look great in any interior, so the process of choosing the right tulle will not take long;
- muslin is a practical material, ideal for decorating a window opening in the kitchen. This is such tulle that you can hang it in the kitchen without fear that its appearance will quickly deteriorate;
- Mesh is another very durable and practical material that is commonly used for kitchen window projects. Because it has excellent resistance performance.
If the room is too dark, you can use a veil paired with a regular opaque fabric. This will decorate the room.
To make the composition more original, you can use printed curtains and plain tulle. This way the combination will look not only presentable, but also unusual. This option will suit any interior. You just need to harmoniously choose the pattern of the canvas.
Briefly about tulle: advantages and applications
Tulle is a light transparent fabric that has a smooth, mesh, openwork or patterned structure. Due to different variations in thread weaving, this curtain fabric includes organza, mesh, veil and muslin.
The choice of tulle largely determines the shading of the room - whether the window faces the sunny side or whether the room is twilight for a long time during the day.
Regardless of the variety, curtains have significant advantages, namely:
- inexpensive and noble, with some laconic simplicity, window decoration;
- transmission and dispersion of sunlight, filling the room with daylight;
- visually increasing the space, adding some airiness to the interior;
- ease of care, draping and good retention of a given shape.
Window decoration is selected based on the color scheme of the room, zoning of the space and taste preferences of the residents.
Note! If you beautifully collect tulle on a cornice, you can both decorate and visually expand the room. It is also important to choose a canvas that matches the stylistic design of the room.
How to properly care for tulle eyelets
There are two ways to wash curtains with rings: by hand and in the washing machine. If you are washing by hand, remove the curtains from the curtain rod, then place it in a bowl of warm, soapy water. Leave for two hours. After this, rinse the curtains well, remove dirt (you can also use a brush) and hang them on a rope at full length.
When washing by machine, first load the curtains into a special bag for delicate laundry. Add a few drops of shampoo (it will not leave streaks after spinning and will remove dust well). Wait until the washing cycle ends, after which you can immediately hang the curtain on the curtain rod, since after the machine rotates there is practically no moisture left.
Nowadays, the popularity of tulle with eyelets is only growing. The variety of types of material allows everyone to choose the most optimal option for themselves, which will ideally fit into the existing environment and add style to it.
Using eyelets, you can create beautiful folds that allow you to visually increase the volume of the room. Rings have many other advantages, so try to choose the eyelets and frame that are optimal for you, which will harmonize with and complement the curtain material.
We hang a lambrequin on a curtain tape
The case is similar to ordinary curtains, there should be no problems. The work requires the following equipment:
- Braid.
- Duct tape.
- Cornice.
The principle of fastening has much in common with ordinary curtains. Only the ribbon remains need to be cut off, which is also done with laces. Sometimes glue serves as an additional fixative.
Installing curtains only at first glance seems like a complicated process. Even if various additional devices are used. The main thing is to determine decorative solutions from the very beginning. Only then do you select the appropriate fasteners.

Features of tulle products
Before hanging tulle on the cornice, you need to take into account the characteristics of the room. If we talk about the kitchen, then lambrequins and various waves will be inappropriate in it. Experts also recommend using light tulle in small rooms. It will visually expand the space and make the room brighter. Very often there is a balcony door in the bedroom, so it is necessary to ensure that the tulle does not impede access to it.
Each room in the house is a separate space that you need to be able to decorate correctly and harmoniously:
- Bedroom. Very often, massive, multi-layered compositions are selected for the bedroom. These compositions are fixed to the ceiling and baguette cornice. You can simply drape the tulle using curtain tape.
- Kitchen. Since there is high humidity in the kitchen, soot and grease constantly settle on the surface, it is best to choose a short tulle that reaches the window sill. It is better to choose a rod or telescopic cornice, and fabric loops will do just fine for fittings.
- Hall. To decorate a living room, tulle in pastel shades and fittings made in the same colors are perfect. It is important that the fittings are not too provocative, but are fully consistent with the chosen style.
