2. Japanese. They have vertical rectangular folds.
3. Austrian. This - linen products, which are collected with laces.
4. Liver resistant. They are draped with special eyelets straight into the vertical folds.
5. Roman blinds. They are collected by means of rings.
6. Italian. They are draped with special cord stitches.
7. French. They are transparent or silk canvases that gather in festons.

It is recommended to give preference to such combinations of curtains with cornices:

1. Metal cornices are ideal in combination with traditional curtains, for example, tulle.
2. Japanese curtains are originally combined with forged metal cornices.
3. Italian curtains are combined in a remarkable way with baguettes. This option is more preferable due to the fact that the baguette allows you to hide all the fasteners and create the effect of leaving the curtains directly from the ceiling.
4. The roller blinds gracefully complement the profile cornices.

Despite all the above recommendations, the last word is yours. Each person has his own concept of an ideal style and how to create it. Experiment in your own pleasure, but remember that the main thing here is not to overdo it.
