Relatively recently, corner curtain rods have appeared on the market, which can be installed both in an ordinary room and in a bathroom. The purpose of these two types of construction, or more precisely, the curtains located on them, is somewhat different. The cornice itself is also different. There are many options for colorful decoration of a window space or bathroom using such an unusual piece of furniture.

Corner cornice for the room

Almost all households have a standard layout, so the use of special corner cornices for windows is not so relevant. However, they can become indispensable if you are the owner of an apartment with an irregularly shaped corner window. Such a space always requires careful attention and correct design. Corner curtain rods for curtains in a room may also be needed if two adjoining walls have windows located close enough to each other. The use of a special design suggests several possible design options. The window can be completely covered with one piece of fabric or decorated with several identical curtains.



You can choose several types of corner cornices:

  • tire. Profile design, the main material of which is ordinary plastic. The use of rotating elements allows you to create a cornice of any shape. The structure itself can be installed both on the wall and on the ceiling. Curtains are fastened using loops, curtain tape and special runners;

  • design with internal rail. Can be made of aluminum or plastic. Can be installed both on the wall and on the ceiling. A single-row variation of the cornice is most often used;

  • arcuate. Can be suitable for both asymmetrical and rectangular bathtubs;
  • L-shaped. Most often used when there is a rectangular bathtub.

The advantage of any type of bathroom curtain rod is that its installation does not require special knowledge.

Also, designs for hanging curtains can be divided according to the material of production. It should be borne in mind that in the bathroom there is almost always high humidity, so you should choose curtain rods that are highly resistant to corrosion and rust. Plastic construction doesn't change his appearance, however, over time, under the weight of the curtain, it will sag. Best choice- cornice made of polished stainless steel.

Attach the bracket to the point you left earlier so that it is exactly in the middle of the location of the part. Mark holes for mounting visible points, then do the same steps with the other wall on which the cornice will be attached. Drill holes in the places marked with a pencil. Their optimal depth is 45 mm. After this, insert the dowels into the holes so that they protrude approximately 0.5 mm. Unscrew the clamping screw, then stretch the silicone liners onto both sides of the curtain rod. You also need to put on special caps there. After this, you can insert the cornice into the pre-prepared mounts. Pull the caps with the liner all the way to the wall.

Installing a cornice in a bathroom

Corner cornice is a modern, stylish piece of furniture that has great functionality. His right choice and subsequent installation will allow you to colorfully decorate the interior, achieving maximum benefit from the design.

If the plumbing fixtures are installed in the corner of the bathroom, an L-shaped curtain rod is ideal. By installing a corner cornice, you can avoid many problems and design design bathroom It fits harmoniously into the interior, is easy to install, protects against flying splashes and the spread of unnecessary dampness throughout the house.

It is better to buy a corner cornice from a material that complements the design of the bathroom. A corner cornice made of stainless steel is considered universal. This material is durable, highly polished and suitable for the manufacture of taps and other plumbing elements. Attaching curtains to such a curtain rod is possible using rings or hooks.

Installing a corner cornice in the bathroom looks advantageous in terms of the aesthetic design of the bathroom. A curtain in bright colors will add a cheerful touch to the room.

Corner curtains are a godsend for decorating both standard and non-standard window openings. You can buy them or sew them yourself. Such curtains are chosen to decorate a kitchen window, balcony, room or attic. Their original look will be appropriate in any room. But for corner windows, both straight curtains and triangle drapes are suitable.

Features of corner curtain design

Curtains with an oblique cut can become the highlight of the interior if their design is chosen correctly. Let's consider what they are and in what case the choice of such curtains is the only option.

Triangle-shaped curtains can be divided into several types:

  • symmetrical/asymmetrical;
  • single/double;
  • with/without lambrequin;
  • top corner/bottom corner.

A model with a bevel along the top edge is most often chosen if the geometry of the room does not allow the use of a straight cornice. Sometimes cornices are hung at an angle intentionally to emphasize the peculiarity of the shape of the window opening. In this case, only models with an upper cut are suitable.

The corner at the bottom edge gives the room a romantic and somewhat playful feel, so this design is often chosen to soften a strict interior or enliven a standard layout. For the same reason, such curtains are not hung in work area, study, and even more so in the office.

Models with a lambrequin need to be chosen especially carefully, because not all styles “love” such decor. For example, in a high-tech style, a curtain with an upper corner may look organic, but a lambrequin would be clearly inappropriate there. But in classic interior Such textiles will take root in all types.

If you are choosing decor for the windows in a living room decorated in the Art Nouveau style, then an asymmetrical curtain with a lower cut will ideal option. In this case, the textile print may contain stylized images of animals, fairy-tale characters or plants.


Which design to choose for attic decor?

Dormer windows often have a non-standard shape, so you need to approach the choice of curtains for this room based on the characteristics of the opening. If it is symmetrical, then you can be guided by your preferences, but if not, then curtains are only suitable for asymmetrical types.

For inclined windows in the attic, either a curtain model without a lambrequin or a lambrequin on a rigid base is suitable. Buy double curtains corner or choose a single curtain, also often depends on the shape of the window in the attic. If it is beveled asymmetrically and there are two cornices, then there is no point in buying a single model.


Corner curtains for the kitchen

Corner curtains for kitchen windows are a very practical solution that is also successful from an aesthetic point of view. After all, in this room the curtains most often only reach the window sill, and it’s hard to come up with original design for short textiles it is sometimes quite difficult. If they are sewn from light translucent fabric, they will fully correspond to the purpose of the kitchen:

  • provide the necessary privacy;
  • will give an opportunity sun rays illuminate the room sufficiently;
  • will create good mood, which is so important for the hostess in order to prepare culinary masterpieces for her family.

The pattern on the fabric and the presence of lambrequins can be chosen based on your taste preferences and general design kitchens. But symmetry/asymmetry depends on how many windows there are in the kitchen and how they are placed.

It is better to hang two single curtains on the corner kitchen window, maintaining symmetry. If the window openings are located opposite each other, then double symmetrical curtains will look more organic. One standard window can be decorated with either single or double curtains.

Choose practical textiles for the kitchen. After all, curtains here need to be removed and washed more often than in other rooms.


How to choose curtains for corner windows?

Windows in the corner of the room are rare, and the question of which curtains to hang in the corner of the room sometimes turns into a whole problem. Although, in fact, such windows give scope for the designer’s imagination, and the competent implementation of fantasies evokes admiration among both the owners of the house and their guests. To select textiles yourself, without the help of a specialist, you need to consider which window the curtains are intended for.

Corner windows are of the following types:

  • single window located in the corner of the room;
  • two windows located close to the corner and to each other;
  • a bay window with two or more corners, located in the center or close to the center of the wall.

When choosing drapery for corner windows, try to emphasize their unusualness, and not turn them into two separate standard openings.


We design two windows in the corner of the room

When choosing curtains for a bedroom or living room for two windows, you first need to decide on the basic design idea. There are two options - unification or separation. Based on this, you need to buy both cornices and textiles. If the windows are narrow and there is a large partition between them, then you can separate them - hang single panels in such a way that they move symmetrically, with the center of symmetry being the corner.

You can merge two windows in the following ways.

  1. The curtain is hung in one piece.
  2. Two or more canvases are combined with one cornice and lambrequin.

In the first case, the cornice must be of such a design that the canvas “walks” freely along the windows, that is, its movement should not be limited by fasteners. The curtain in the living room, combining two windows, should be long, and the fabric for it should be soft and flowing. Heavy fabrics are not suitable for corner curtains on two windows facing the living room: they will turn the drapery into a heavy structure.

If there is a partition between the windows, then it is better to make a drapery of three canvases. The middle one will mask the wall and can be static, the side ones should move/move apart. With this design, it is very important to pay attention special attention top elements - lambrequins and ties, swags. After all, it is the top that makes a whole decor from individual pieces of textiles.

The unifying element for Japanese curtains or other curtains without additional upper elements, there will only be a cornice on the corner windows in the living room, so special attention should be paid to its selection.


How to decorate windows in bay windows?

Bay windows can be decorated using a variety of design ideas. Both strict laconicism and the splendor of theatrical scenery are suitable here - it all depends only on the interior of the room and the taste of the hostess. The main thing is visual unification individual elements windows located at an angle to each other into one whole. In this case, the curtain can consist of one sheet, or it can be made in the form of a complex drapery consisting of several layers.

If the bay window is perceived as usable area and is used for practical purposes, for example, as dining area kitchen or dining room, then you should give preference to a discreet design. In this case it is convenient to use roller blinds. This solution eliminates the need to select a cornice of complex shape.


  • Textile fabrics on corner windows will go better with Roman blinds than with traditional curtains.
  • A rigid lambrequin with a laconic shape will help to combine the canvases if classic lambrequins do not fit into modern design rooms.
  • Light weightless organza looks very advantageous on a corner window, especially if it is covered with one panel.
