- Corner. The edge of the curtain is folded in the middle and fixed to the wall.
- Cross-shaped. Opposite ends of curtains are attached to opposite walls.
Single curtain
Usually such a curtain is tied in the middle. If the product is of calm tones, then the garter is taken in bright, contrasting shades. A harmonious solution would be to gather the curtain only on one side and fix it with a grab.
