When choosing curtains, everything is important. First, you need to determine the style of the room and the function that must be carried in the curtains. For example, the kitchen usually has a light summer curtain that does not reach the floor, but curtains are better suited to the bedroom - opaque curtains that protect lovers from the bright morning light, especially if your windows look to the east or south, and your privacy. In the children's room you can choose something cute and fabulous.
Next about the colors. It is desirable that the color of your "window clothing" should be in harmony with the color of the furniture, the best option if they are sewn from the same fabric as the upholstery of sofas and armchairs. But with wallpaper you need a contrast so that the window does not merge with the walls. It is desirable to avoid bright colors: unfortunately, they get too fast. Muffled tone - blue, salad, gray, purple make the room space visually cooler, but beige, pink, peach, lemon, terracotta - on the contrary warm. The contrasting transverse strip has the property of increasing the width of the room space, but the vertical visually elevates the ceiling. On the high windows, the narrow curtains with frills are amazing.
It is also important what kind of curtains you choose. Classic curtains in the sides, perhaps, to replace, say, the Roman. They fold in accordion, half-opening the window. The same principle also applies to roller blinds. Instead of curtains, nonwovens can be used, such as straw blinds or very tight paper screens. Very relevant French curtains, called marquises, they also fold horizontally to the middle of the window, and form on the lower edge of a pleasant wave. Such curtains can be seen in theaters and official institutions. If the two-layered curtains are boring to you, boldly experiment, combining several types of tulle, one under the other and play with light, depending on the mood. Even the traditional type of curtains can become exquisite if you correctly apply to them the transformation of the form, tie knots, bows, pick or toss. Do you want to update the view of the room a little? Do the application directly on the fabric in the style and color of the wallpaper.
As for the materials, the most popular are organza and silk. From the category of non-natural materials, polyester and viscose are leading, in which cotton and flax can be added. Embroidery and metal threads are very actual. Linen curtains with the addition of lavsan are coming more and more from the west, which, as is known, is experiencing a boom of an ecological way of life. In any case, the quality material should be treated with a special dust-repellent impregnation, it is resistant to sunlight and crease burning, and also loyal to various types of cleaning and washing, if you want the curtains to last as long as possible. Unfortunately, the more quality curtains, the more biting their price, in pursuit of quality is inevitable. If it is difficult for you to decide on the material and the style of curtains, you can always go to specialized shops where a competent designer will help you to develop a unique option.
And remember, properly selected curtains will not only revive the room and give finish to the interior, but quite can be leveled by a non-partial look from the window.
