Mounting a baguette on the wall
The kitchen cornice looks beautiful and stylish, but in addition to the aesthetic side, it is also important to take into account the technical side - the quality of fastening of the structure.
Note! The more complex the structure, the heavier its weight - when fastening it is very important to take this point into account.
If you are installing a structure for fastening curtains with your own hands, then you will need the following tools:
- screwdriver;
- perforator;
- building level;
- pencil and tape measure;
- ladder;
- screws and dowels.
Kitchen cornice: fastening - diagram
Before you get started, there are a few things to consider:
- Make sure that the product will not interfere with the opening and closing of the window.
- The brackets that usually come with the kit should be larger than the protruding part of the window sill so that the curtains will not fall on it.
- Make sure that heating pipes and other communications do not pass through the location of the cornice.
After making sure that the work surface is ready for installation, you can begin the process.
The instructions for carrying out the work are as follows:
In the process of marking
- Make markings using a level and tape measure. The markings for the brackets should be at the same distance from the window opening.
- Plastic and wooden brackets are fastened with one screw, and metal ones with three.
- Having decided on the markings, start drilling holes. After this, insert the dowel into the hole, then attach the bracket to it and secure everything with a screw.
Creating holes using marks
Advice! To make the fastening of the structure more reliable, you can pour a little epoxy resin into the prepared holes for the screws and then insert the fasteners.
Subsequent installation is carried out after the additive has completely dried.
- Before attaching the second bracket, check the markings again.
- Having fixed the brackets, connect them to the rod and check the reliability of the entire structure. When installing, it is important to remember that the rings for attaching the curtains must be put on the rod in advance.
Installation
It is very convenient when the kitchen is straight and the upper cabinets are located on the same level, without protrusions. Then all that remains is to attach the decorative blank, apply the markings, and then secure it.
It is more difficult if the furniture has a more complex configuration. It has internal and external corners when transitioning from facade to facade. Then you will need to make a cut at the right angle and connect the elements, perfectly joining each other.
It's like installing a ceiling plinth. You can't do without a miter box. The task is not easy. You need to take accurate measurements and then cut. If in doubt, you can contact specialists.
As for installation, there are 3 options:
- On the outside with self-tapping screws
. To do this, a hole is made in the workpiece using a drill, and part of the facade is also drilled. Only the drill should be smaller in diameter than the self-tapping screw. Then the fastener is screwed in; - From the inside with self-tapping screws
. This way the screw heads will not be visible on the cornice. A hole is drilled from inside the furniture body, but not through the decorative element. And it is screwed with a self-tapping screw; - On glue
. Simple option. But it is impossible to guarantee that the decorative overlay will adhere well. That’s why they are mostly fixed with self-tapping screws.
Don't worry about the fastener there. It can be painted over if the cornice itself can be painted. Or cover with decorative plugs. Finding the right color is not a problem.
Cornice above the hood
Cornices for kitchen furniture are not only devices for fastening curtains. These are also additions to the top drawers of the kitchen unit, which hide the air outlet pipes of the ceiling hood and ventilation space. Such designs perfectly complete the interior.
If you want to save money, then you can make a cornice for a kitchen set at home from chipboard and MDF, or by combining them. But such work requires precise calculations and certain skills, so if you are not confident in your abilities, then it is better to seek help from professionals.
In general, furniture cornices for the kitchen are not a cheap pleasure, and not everyone can afford such a set. But considering how wonderfully it completes the interior, such a design is definitely worth the money spent.

Kitchen cornice: material matters
Modern light industry produces curtain rods from three materials: plastic, wood and metal. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. And to choose the best option, you should familiarize yourself with them.
- Plastic curtain rods are the most popular among housewives. They are inexpensive, practical material is easy to clean, and the design fits the vast majority of kitchen interiors in our country.

General recommendations
- The smaller the diameter or thickness of the cornice, the lighter the curtains should be and vice versa.
- The more complex and elegant the fabric design, the more laconic the cornice can be and vice versa.
- If the ceiling in the kitchen is low, then it is recommended to give preference to a ceiling cornice or install a wall cornice, but slightly higher than the upper edge of the window niche.
- The color of the cornice should match the curtains, kitchen furniture handles, chandelier or other interior details.
- To ensure that the curtain always remains on the edge of the rod, when installing, do not forget to place one ring in the gap between the mount and the tip.
- The clips can be alternated with round rings, then the curtains will hold tighter.
- If the length of the cornice is more than 2.4 m, and also if the curtains are very heavy, then for reliability, a third bracket should be installed in the middle.
- To prevent kitchen curtains from getting dirty when opening and closing them, add a special driver strip to the curtains.

What types of curtain rods are there depending on the installation location?
According to the method of fastening, cornices can be divided into ceiling and wall. The choice depends on the methods of finishing the ceiling and walls, as well as the materials that were used.
- Wall cornices.
Such products are attached to the wall above the window opening and are not located close to the wall, but are placed at some distance from it. Rod models remain the most popular (as they were decades ago), but profile cornices are also not far behind. According to some people, profile products can only be attached to the ceiling, but this is a misconception, and such structures can be installed to the wall with equal success. Cornice for kitchen photo - Ceiling cornices for the kitchen are a great help if the room has high windows and there is no space to attach wall cornices.
In addition, this version of cornices will appeal to owners of apartments with low ceilings - flowing fabric from ceiling to floor visually stretches the room in a vertical direction. Another advantage of such curtain rods is the fact that they can withstand more curtain weight than wall options. Therefore, it is definitely worth paying attention to them if you plan to hang heavy curtains, and even with lambrequins. Ceiling cornice for the kitchen photo
One common opinion among buyers is that it concerns the installation of ceiling cornices on a suspended ceiling.
They say it's impossible. However, only a person unfamiliar with the technology of installing a stretch ceiling can say this. In fact, it is possible to install a cornice on a suspended ceiling, and this process is similar to installing a chandelier - holes are made in the ceiling in advance, then the cornice is hung on long brackets, and the place where the bracket passes through the ceiling is covered with decorative overlays.
How to hang a ceiling curtain correctly
The procedure for installing a curtain hanger on a ceiling space is no different from mounting it on a wall. But there are still some nuances here. And the main one is the material from which the ceiling is made. Drywall and tension structures are very common in residential apartments. And such materials are not capable of holding a large load.

There are special fasteners for drywall. These are the same dowels with screws, but only of a special design. Each of them is designed for a certain load, above which the element cannot be loaded.

This cannot be done without preliminary analysis. A significant role is played by the type of cornice, the material of its manufacture, the number of crossbars or grooves for curtains, as well as the type and density of the fabric. These parameters determine the mass of the entire product. After all, it is known that drywall is a fragile composition. Its edges can easily crack, and the cornice will simply jump out onto the floor.
Curtains of any type can be attached to a suspended ceiling.
There are no special fasteners for suspended ceilings. If it was planned to attach the curtains to the ceiling system, then it is necessary to provide wooden (metal) bars under the base. In this case, installing window textiles on ceiling fasteners will not be difficult.

And this is what it looks like in reality
It is important to know at what distance to hang the curtain from the ceiling. The determining parameter is the gap between the curtains, the window and the heating radiator (battery). It is best to visually try on where the curtain goes by attaching a curtain. This way you will achieve an accurate result.
When determining the location for attaching the ceiling cornice, the width of the protruding part of the window sill and the presence of folds on the curtain are taken into account
The order of work is as follows:
- Marking the ceiling space.
- Drilling holes for dowels with screws.
- Fastening brackets and crossbars.
If you are installing a plastic (aluminum) profile-type cornice, then there is no need to attach brackets. The product is attached directly to the ceiling surface using dowels. Additionally, this solution is decorated with a decorative baguette.
When installing a stretch ceiling, curtains can be fixed in a niche, then the design of the cornice will not matter at all
Types of cornices by type of design
In this part of the article we will look at the types of curtain rods for the kitchen, which differ from each other in design features. All of them, depending on the type of curtains and the chosen interior design, can be found in the kitchen.
- Rod cornice. It comes in round, square or other shapes and is attached to the wall using brackets. The material can be anything - metal, wood, plastic.
- Profile cornice. It is installed mainly on the ceiling and is considered the most attractive from a design point of view. It can be either straight or shaped, opening up wide possibilities for designers when designing a window opening not only of a standard shape, but also of bay windows.
- String cornice.
It is not particularly durable and is unlikely to withstand heavy curtains. But such cornices are unpretentious in installation and can be installed both on the ceiling and on the wall. They can be not only single-tiered, but also two- and three-tiered. The main thing is not to hang curtains that are too thick and heavy. String kitchen cornice photo - Baguette cornice.
A distinctive feature is its decorative qualities. If you need to hide the cornice itself or its fastenings, then it is difficult to find anything better than this option. A baguette cornice is a product whose design includes a decorative strip that covers all fasteners, hooks or rings. It is an integral part of the interior and must be in harmony with the entire decor of the room. Curtain rods for the kitchen photo
It should also be noted that not all types of curtains can be hung on the above curtain rods. For example, there are separate types of curtain rods for sale for Roman and Japanese curtains. They take into account the design features of curtains, so they have different designs - we are talking about Japanese and Roman curtains.
For Japanese curtain rods, various sliding systems are offered (single-sided, double-sided, symmetrical and asymmetrical), and the number of tracks varies from two to five. Roman curtain rods are equipped with an aluminum profile with hard Velcro for fastening curtains, a lifting mechanism with a chain and weights. Such curtain rods differ from traditional ones, however, the curtains for them are designed differently.
Curtains for the kitchen and the choice of baguette
Before choosing a curtain rod for the kitchen, you need to understand the terminology.
The following designations of concepts are accepted in professional vocabulary:
- Curtains are the curtain fabric itself;
- A baguette is a rod or strip on which curtains hang;
- A cornice is a decorative panel that masks, covers or frames something.
To successfully select all the details of the kitchen interior, you need to have logic and interior design skills.
There are curtains for the kitchen:
- Single-layer, consist of one row of curtains;
- Double-layer, consist of two rows of curtains;
- Multilayer, formed by an infinite number of rows of curtains, usually from 3 to 5.
You need to choose a baguette for the kitchen based on the style of the curtains. The baguette can be attached to the wall (the traditional version, this design is colloquially called “curtain”) or placed on the ceiling. Ceiling moldings are suitable for rooms with low ceilings because they visually increase the volume of the room.
Depending on the material, baguettes are::
- Metal;
- Plastic;
- Wooden.
All metal parts in the room should be stylized as the same metal. If the fittings of the set are bronze, you need a bronze baguette, and if they are silver, then a silver baguette. The shape of a baguette for curtains is usually a rod (stick). There are baguettes in the form of a flat plank with rails or in the form of two brackets, between which a rope or fishing line is stretched.
If the curtains are short, light or single-layer, you can use baguettes with fishing line.
The influence of a baguette on the visual impression of the kitchen:
- A dark wall molding clearly outlines the window opening, attracts attention and reduces the width of the window;
- Light and inconspicuous baguettes visually expand the window;
- Ceiling moldings are used when you need to make the ceiling higher and the room brighter.
If there is no aesthetic load placed on the curtain molding, you can safely cover it with a cornice. Interiors where the curtain fastenings are hidden from prying eyes generally look more stylish and exclusive.

If you are still wondering which curtain rod to choose for the kitchen, then take into account a few more key points that will make your purchase more successful. Firstly, the length of the cornice should not be long. If in the living room you can hang curtains on the entire wall, then in the kitchen you are usually limited only by the length of the window opening, which is decorated with a curtain.
Secondly, before buying a curtain rod, you should decide on the type of curtains that will hang in your kitchen - as you already understand, for some types of curtains, as well as for different types of fabric, special curtain rods will be needed. Thirdly, you need to immediately decide how many rows there should be on the cornice - if your apartment is located on the lower floors, then it is quite logical to provide space not only for the curtain, but also for the tulle. And fourthly, do not forget that the kitchen curtain rod can be electrically controlled - a remote control or control unit will make your life much more comfortable.
We recommend
The design of the kitchen usually has special requirements - if everything is clear with the bedroom - the space should have a calm and conducive atmosphere for sleep, then with the kitchen everything is different - the room should combine style, functionality and comfort.
Details play a significant role, the kitchen window is one of them. Read on to find out which cornice to choose for your kitchen.
The kitchen window should fit harmoniously into the overall interior
How to make it yourself
You can make a profile yourself and install a furniture cornice on the set.
It can be made from MDF or natural wood for painting. Installation is not particularly difficult.
If you look at the cornice in section or cross-section, you can see 3 areas to be processed:
- Facial area
. Decorative patterns are milled here; - Second section
. This is a cut that goes from the bottom of the front side to the edge of the back side. As a result, a platform is formed intended for attaching the element at an angle to the cabinet; - Third section
. It is located on the back side and looks like a V-shaped groove. Makes installation easier.
To make a structure, it is not necessary to take a lined MDF board.
Thickness can be used from 16 mm. This also applies to natural wood. But the deeper your section relief is, the thicker the slab will be required. Plus, look at the desired sizes of the curtain rods. When the cross-sectional width is less than 80 mm, a 16 mm slab is suitable. Or take more.
If you want to align the bottom edge of the decor with the front plane of the kitchen facade, then it is advisable to increase the mounting area. Therefore, the thickness of the slab must be at least 26 mm.
Using hand routers, you first need to cut the strips to the size and width of the milling on the front side, as well as on the corners of the mounting pad. Then the milling process comes into play.
To obtain the desired relief, you will need more than one cutter. It is optimal if you have at your disposal a special cutter designed for skirting boards, as well as cornices.
The mounting area is made with a V-shaped cutter at a given angle. But it is better to do this using a format-cutting machine, where you can change the angle of inclination of the saw tool.
Ideally, furniture cornices are made on CNC machines. This allows you to make identical elements. Manual processing may cause errors.

What material are they made from?
When the type of construction has been chosen, we proceed to the selection of materials. String cornices are always made of metal, while others allow for different options.
Plastic
The main advantage is its low weight, which does not burden the space, and the ability to be painted in almost any shade. You can disguise the cornice in the kitchen to match the color of the ceiling or make it a catchy accessory. Very often, plastic models are decorated with decorative details that imitate natural texture, such as leather, textiles or wood. If you don't look closely, this finish is almost invisible. Plastic curtain rods cannot withstand heavy loads, but here you need to look at the quality of the material itself and the type of construction, especially if you plan to weigh massive curtains.
Wooden
This is a classic that adds chic and originality to the kitchen interior. Wooden cornices come in different types - from standard to baguette. They often look massive, so they are not suitable for small kitchens with low ceiling heights. To achieve a harmonious environment, you need to choose appropriate curtains. Wood combines beautifully with curtains made of massive, dense fabric and with airy curtains. They can handle the heaviest textiles, so the only limitation is style.
Metal
These are the most expensive curtain rods because of their strength, beauty and variety. Metals of different colors are used for production: white, black, bronze, brass. You can find your own version for any style. There are beautiful forged models that attract all attention and can become the main element of the kitchen. But they require a strong wall covering; for example, drywall will not withstand such a load.
On a note! The texture of the cornice also plays a significant role. Gloss is more appropriate for classic kitchen interiors, while matte will decorate modern designs.
Mounting a baguette on the wall
The kitchen cornice looks beautiful and stylish, but in addition to the aesthetic side, it is also important to take into account the technical side - the quality of fastening of the structure.
Note! The more complex the structure, the heavier its weight - when fastening it is very important to take this point into account.

How to attach a curtain to a loose wall
People often face the problem of installing curtain rods in loose walls. A thick layer of old plaster tends to crumble when installed in the drilled holes of plastic dowels. Naturally, nothing serious will be held in such a wall. You'd better forget about beautiful Italian curtains.
Loose material will not be able to hold a heavy curtain
To get rid of this problem it is not at all necessary to do a major overhaul. It is enough to drill holes of a larger diameter than the dowels purchased. The holes are sealed with tile adhesive or wooden “chops” with liquid nails. After complete hardening and drying, all you have to do is screw the screws into the wood.
