So, hidden constructions intended for attaching curtains and curtains are equipped in the ceiling, but not plates of overlapping, but created additionally. It can be like a tension and suspended ceiling, which uses drywall.
Naturally, such a niche is created next to the window opening, because its location in another part simply does not matter. Its dimensions depend on the dimensions of the structure, that is, what size will hidden cornice, which curtains are planned there to hang there. An example is shown in the photo. For example, if you plan to hang thin curtains, the depth of the opening will be three or four centimeters, and if large, massive curtains are already ten-fifteen centimeters.
Making a niche in the suspended ceiling
Suspended ceiling, to create plasterboard, can be found quite often today. It is easy to make it yourself, as well as a niche in it.
It must be provided for it at the project creation phase. In this case, nothing complicated in the work. The main thing, follow a certain sequence of work:

As you can see, there is nothing complicated. It is important that the ceiling is ready. The photo shows the individual stages of work. The end result is a high-quality hidden cornice that allows you to hold the curtains of any weight. The plasterboard used during installation should correspond to what was used in the ceiling arrangement.
And if you need a backlight?
In some cases, an LED tape is used, providing the ceiling and curtain backlight. In this case, plasterboard should not be trimmed with the whole design. It is better if it will play for the frame for about three or five centimeters. There and it is worth placing the tape.
In the photo you can see the finished niche. This is a comfortable and pleasant design of the design, which can be made independently.
And what if the ceiling is stretching?
If you have a stretch ceiling, then a niche of your own hands is also quite realistic, which is shown in the photo. Although such a hidden cornice, guaranteed retention curtains, it is best to entrust professionals. But if you want to save or really confident in your abilities, the instruction is below.
Before the tension ceiling will be mounted, it is necessary to secure a hidden cornice on the slab, capable of withstanding any curtains - after all, it is possible that today you decided to hang light tulle, and in time you want to replace it with heavy curtains. Do not break all the trim?
The model is best fixed by durable, reliable dowels, which will serve as a guarantee of the durability of the product.
After the hidden cornice is installed, but before the stretch ceiling is mounted, prepare the basis of the niche. To do this, it is necessary to secure a special wooden bar, which will later become the main entire stretch design. It must be installed approximately two centimeters (but not further and not closer to one centimeter) from the eaves. The bar must be in the same plane with the stretch design - not to perform for it.
