Curtains are an important part of the house, which performs not only a practical, but also an aesthetic function. In the article we will tell you what to look for when choosing.
What you need to know when choosing curtains
When choosing curtains, it is important to focus on three factors: composition, style and lighting.
The height and width of the curtains will determine how the room will look.
Curtains to the floor look best, so that they gather at the bottom with soft folds.
How to choose the right curtains for furniture or wallpaper
- it is better to choose curtains in the color of wallpaper or other textiles in the room (furniture, pillows, bedspreads), but one or two shades darker or lighter;
- if the walls in the room are decorated quite variegated, it is better to stay on plain curtains of restrained tones;
How to choose the right color for the curtains in the room
It is recommended to choose a color that matches the interior. Usually they should be close to the color of the furniture. Such combinations are suitable for small rooms. But so that the curtains do not merge with the walls, you need to choose a shade 1-2 tones lighter or darker; you can also hang curtains with a pattern.
How to combine curtains and tulle
For curtains of bright color, with a print, glitter or a pronounced texture, a smooth plain tulle is best suited. If it is necessary to highlight the original tulle, the curtains should be neutral in color and texture. Another favorite technique of designers is a combination by texture.
What curtains are no longer in fashion
Namely, curtains with lush tails, lambrequins, curtains lying on the floor, textiles overloaded with patterns and prints without a refreshing monotone, and so on. Too “dry”, office solutions, such as typical roller blinds, also look out of date - it is better to replace them with Roman ones.
