1. At the level of the window sill - the most common method of attachment. With this method, the windows do not seem too wide, and there is enough light in them. Holders for curtains divide the space of a vertical wall exactly in half, which looks as harmonious as possible. This method is suitable for bedrooms, living rooms and children.
2. Above the middle of the wall, dividing the space at the window into the upper third and lower two thirds. Ideal for narrow windows. Such placement of holders for curtains or curtains visually expands the window, while retaining all the light entering the room outside. However, not too heavy fabric is suitable for this type of fastening.

For example, in the kitchen, where the tulle comes down only to the window sill, and there are no curtains, the mount above the middle of the wall will look natural and attractive, thus increasing the amount of light coming into the room. On the contrary, an office or library needs heavy curtains that can be held by fixtures below the sill line. This will give the room the appropriate attitude - working, secluded. For a usual bedroom or a living room, the traditional method of fastening curtain holders is suitable.
