Pickups are very diverse. You can purchase fancy vintage metal hooks or small gold rings. You can pick up the curtain in any part of it, it all depends on tastes and design. You can also sew beautiful hooks with your own hands and decorate to your taste.

Brushes and cords

Cords and tassels are great for decorating heavy curtains. They are usually made in large sizes, due to which they are clearly visible on massive curtains. Choosing large brushes - don't overdo it. One or two will be enough. Due to their size, they will create an unusual accent on the windows. You can also play with flowers. The basons can be chosen in a contrasting color to the curtains. Beautiful screw cords are used to secure the brushes. You can also create an unusual window interior by grabbing the lambrequin in the middle to the cornice with a beautiful cord with small tassels.

It is worth noting that such trims are suitable only for massive curtains. It is better to use decorative pins to decorate light fabrics.

Fringe

Fringe allows you to create a lush decoration on your windows, as seen in the photo. Fringe can be chosen:

  • plain or variegated;
  • with pom-poms and tassels of various lengths;
  • twisted or straight.

You can also choose the most diverse color. Beige - golden is already considered a classic. But you can also choose a rich fringe to decorate the pastel curtain. This will make the curtains unusual and original.

In order to attach the fringe to the curtain with your own hands, a pattern is not required. You just need to calculate the length of the curtains, where you are going to attach the decoration and buy the required amount of fringe. And then everything is in your hands. Take the curtain, fringe and attach it in the right place. A little effort and curtains will play in a new way, creating a bright accent in the room.

One will perform the main function, and the second will be decorative, on which an air lambrequin will be beautifully placed. It is better to take the second cornice shorter than the first, so it will be possible to create an unusual design of the window opening, which will become the main accent in the whole room.
