Eyelets or braid - what to choose

Among the modern ways to hang a curtain there are two main ones: braid and eyelets. We offer to evaluate the benefits of each.

TAPE | With the ribbon in the first place it turns out that it is simpler and clearer. If you already have a sewing machine, you can easily do it yourself.

The modern range of ribbons allows you to achieve very different visual effects in the drape. Here you can fantasize and not do without uniform waves.

When choosing a ribbon, you have a certain backlash in height. The tape allows you to hang the curtain above or below a few inches. Agree, sometimes it matters.

The tape has certain difficulties of care. The curtain assembled on a tape is more difficult to iron.

It will take up more space if you want to remove it for a certain season and put it in the closet.

LOVERS | Eyelets are valued for stylish uniform two-way waves, which descend the fabric. It is austerity of style and ideal for classics. Here you need to show a lot of imagination to achieve freedom and playfulness. But if you do - the effect will be stunning.

Eyelets are easy to iron. You straighten the fabric and iron, and the waves on the cornice will lie by themselves, naturally and not forced.

Only one type of cornice is available for eyelets - a pipe. Which does not always fit into the interior of the room. After all, it is believed that visually it reduces the space.

Eyelets are more difficult to install and easiest to do with a special machine. Yes, you can install it manually by cutting a hole with scissors. But unpredictable nuances can arise. Everything should be at a clear distance from each other and from the edge of the curtain. Otherwise the waves will be uneven and the curtain will be skewed.

Eyelets need precision when hemming, because you will not have backlash.

Which option to choose is a matter of taste, personal preferences, general curtain design and interior in general. You can't say what's better, what's worse. You just have the opportunity to choose what you like best.
