Curtains are an important detail of the interior, so their choice should be taken seriously. Properly selected curtains can visually expand the space, make the room more cozy or, conversely, add to the atmosphere of solemnity. Recently, curtains on the eyelets for bedroom and living room, for children's and kitchens have become increasingly popular - in short, for any room they can be a great stylistic solution.
Technical features
The term "eyelets" refers to metal or plastic edging that frames holes in the fabric. Initially, this word was used in the sailors' environment: the so-called sail holes, reinforced with metal rings, through which cables were passed. Today, these details can not only play the role of a way to fasten curtains, but also be part of the decor. If you decide to purchase thread curtains on the eyelets, you need to first determine what kind of best fits in the interior. So, you can choose metal or wooden eyelets, round or square, small or large, monochrome or colored, matte or shiny. Most people prefer that the color of the fasteners coincides with the shade of curtains or eaves, but if you are not afraid to experiment, you can take contrasting or even decorated with rhinestones details.
The attachment methods can also be different. The most common is the threading of curtains through the eyelets directly onto the eaves bar. A slightly more complicated variant is to thread the connecting elements through the eyelets and, with their help, fix the fabric on the cornice. Finally, you can do without a cornice at all, fixing the canvas on the wall with special hooks. However, in the latter case, the curtain can not be moved.
About the choice of fabric
Another significant advantage of the eyelets in addition to aesthetics and ease of use is that they can be used with absolutely any material, from heavy velvet to the lightest organza. Therefore, you can sew as curtains for the kitchen on the eyelets from transparent tulle, and curtains for the living room of dense brocade - both options will look stylish. As for the palette, its choice depends entirely on your imagination and design of the room. As a fresh trend, interior specialists call two-color curtains on the eyelets. You can combine not only colors, but also textures: very unusual looking curtains, consisting of the base, hanging on the cornice, and the upper band, holding on the eyelets. The base curtain can be made of a material of a reserved shade - dark blue, emerald or wine, and the upper one - from a light fabric with a print. This arrangement of accents allows you to visually make the room more spacious, and the window - high.
No less common is the option with two-layer curtains, when both panels have the same length, but different density. This can be, for example, curtains in the nursery on the eyelets. As the first layer is used opaque material that protects furniture and toys from exposure to sunlight, and as the second one - a translucent tulle adorned with funny drawings and giving a small master of the room a good mood. When sewing curtains in this case it is recommended to use dust-repellent cloths and in advance take care of reliable fastening.
In conclusion, I want to emphasize that curtains on the eyelets are truly universal. They not only allow to create a unique interior, but also easily combine with other types of curtains - French, Japanese, roll .
