Curtain gliders & co.: harmonious staging of ready-made curtains & drapes thanks to ideal suspension

Ready-made curtains are the all-rounders among curtains and offer you a great way to embellish your home quickly and easily at any time. However, to ensure that your room really comes into its own, choosing the right hanging system is crucial - both for easy handling when hanging and for skillfully setting the scene in your rooms.

In this blog article, you can find out why curtain gliders are particularly popular, what other suspension systems are available and how you can find the ideal solution for your curtains and rooms.

First things first: what curtain hanging systems are there?

Before we go into the details, we'll give you a brief overview here. There are several common options for hanging ready-made curtains, each of which has different visual effects and practical advantages. In addition to the classic curtain gliders, which can easily move even heavy fabrics, loop and eyelet systems are also extremely popular options. However, the wave suspension system, which we also offer for many of our made-to-measure curtains, is particularly exciting. This system ensures even waves in the fabric and creates a particularly flowing look for your curtains.

Ready-made curtain gliders, loops and similar: which system for which curtain & room?

Now that we have given you an overview of the different suspension types, the question remains: Which system is best suited to your curtain and your room? Light fabrics such as voile or silk look particularly elegant when using curtain gliders, as they fall gently and symmetrically. For heavier curtains, such as blackout curtains, eyelet curtains are the better option as they offer more stability and at the same time create a structured drape.

As the choice of suspension is therefore directly dependent on the type of curtain and the function of the room, let's take a closer look at the various options and their possible uses:

Curtains with gliders - practical, modern & flexible:

Curtains with gliders can be hung directly into the curtain track and allow them to glide silently and effortlessly. This type of hanging is particularly popular in modern interiors as it creates a minimalist and sleek effect.

In addition, curtain tracks offer the option of combining several curtains at different levels - so you can use blackout curtains and decorative fabrics together, for example.

Advantages of curtain tracks:

• Easy opening & closing:
• The curtain glides smoothly in the track and can be moved without much effort.
• Flexibility in pleating:
  You can determine the distance between the glides yourself, which gives you a lot of design freedom. The closer the glides are positioned, the tighter the pleats will be.
• Elegant look:
  As the suspension is barely visible, the curtain itself takes center stage.

When are curtains with glides suitable?

Curtain gliders are an excellent choice for rooms where you want to move the curtains frequently and easily, such as in the living room or bedroom. Curtains with glides are also ideal for large window fronts or high ceilings, as the glides ensure a very constant, flowing drape without being bulky. Another advantage of gliders is that this type of hanging makes it easy to attach and remove ready-made curtains and the like, which makes cleaning or washing the curtains particularly easy.

Loop curtains - charming & cozy:

Curtains with loops are particularly decorative and easy to attach. The loops are simply slid over the curtain rail, allowing any curtain to be integrated in no time at all. Thanks to the loose drape of the fabric, they create a relaxed, cozy atmosphere that invites any room to linger in comfort.

Advantages of loop curtains:

• Easy to install:
  You simply have to pull the loops over the rod - uncomplicated and quick.
• Casual appearance:
  The loose drape has a particularly homely and informal look, ideal for cozy rooms such as the living room or bedroom.

In which rooms do loop curtains look particularly good?

Loop curtains are particularly suitable for rooms where the curtains are not moved on a daily basis, such as guest rooms or less used living areas where the decorative aspect is the main focus.

Of course, you will also find a large selection of loop curtains here in our store, which are perfect for modern and cozy living styles. With their loose yet stylish drape, our curtains with loops go wonderfully with relaxed furnishing styles, but also in rural or rustic settings without being overbearing.

Eyelet curtains - clean lines with a subtle look:

Curtains with eyelets are characterized by metal rings incorporated into the fabric, which allow for an even and clear drape. This hanging system is ideal for rooms where a modern and structured look is required.

Advantages of eyelet curtains:

• Quick & easy installation:
  The eyelets are pulled directly onto the curtain rod.
• Uniform drapery:
  Thanks to the spacing of the eyelets, wide, elegant folds are formed, giving the room an orderly and elegant appearance.

Which rooms are eyelet curtains suitable for?

Curtains with eyelets are ideal for modern rooms such as living rooms or bedrooms where the focus should be on a clear, structured look. Thanks to their even folds and easy handling, they are particularly popular for large window fronts or balcony doors. The metallic eyelets are easy to move and also give the room a modern, high-quality look. Perfect for rooms with frequent light incidence.

Curtains with wave option - loose waves for a cool look:

The wave hanging option is a very special way to drape your curtain in super even waves. This type of hanging works with special tapes on the back of the curtain that create balanced spacing for wave formation, whether the curtain is open or closed. Wave curtains are the perfect choice for modern, purist rooms where an elegant yet subtle design is desired.

Advantages of curtains with Wave:

• Harmonious wave formation:
  The special suspension creates even waves that give the curtain a harmonious, structured look.
• Flexible & easy to handle:
  The waves remain uniform both when open and closed, making the curtain a visual eye-catcher.
• Modern design:
  Curtains with a wave option fit perfectly into modern living spaces and set hip accents.

When are curtains with wave hangings the right choice?

Wave hangings are the perfect choice if you want a soft, flowing look for your curtains. They create sophisticated pleats that are ideal for rooms such as the living room, dining room or office. This type of hanging is also particularly practical if you appreciate a trendy but understated design that blends harmoniously into the interior design. The clear, uniform waves create a calm and harmonious overall look that is convincing in both private and business spaces.
