Rules of choice: what is acceptable, and what to refuse?

The trend of last season was the rejection of curtains in favor of roller blinds, Roman blinds, vertical and horizontal blinds. However, this trend has not taken root. The interiors have become poorer and often the owners lacked comfort, warmth and special charm. An additional advantage can be hidden marriage, which is often allowed by builders when finishing slopes and corners.

Great advantage for hiding window flaws

The main principle of choice - the curtains should not "catch" in the eye and distract from the overall decor of the room.Otherwise, an association with middle-class houses of the past arises. The main direction - the rejection of screaming decor.

An interesting combination is given by two - three-layer models consisting of a fabric of the same color, but of different density. A large range of freedom is guaranteed. You can create various decoration options with hairpins, coarse and fine drapery.

Three-layer curtain models provide an interesting combination.

It is not necessary to use diametrically opposite textiles in one interior: velvet and floral print, flax to decorate with golden fringe, to combine a cage and a bouquet drawing.

Use harmonious color curtains in the interior

If the living room is combined with a bedroom, we need a thicker curtain to ensure a comfortable rest. Thin curtain with impenetrable laconic curtains - a win-win. In modern trends there are no tails, frills, massive brushes and a long fringe. Accessories: clamps, laconic grabs with no pretentiousness, rhinestones.

What to look for?

What begins the choice of textiles. Imagine not with research catalogs and trips to salons. There are several issues to consider:

• What is the general concept of living room design. In classic styles, roughly textured linen and cotton fabrics are unacceptable. And country and Provence reject velvet and taffeta.
• Where the windows go to the cardinal points: you need to add coolness to the southern rooms, and softness to the northern ones.
• It is important to decide on your favorite colors, otherwise the interior will be annoying.
• How complex or easy to maintain selected textiles.
• How the cross principle will be applied. If the walls are plain painted or decorated with plain wallpaper, choose floral and fancy prints. Rooms with pictures on the walls require a smooth fabric texture.
• Window decoration should attract attention or emphasize the design of the room.

Choose your favorite curtain color

Thus, no mistake will be made. It is better to pre-consider the choice than to live in an eye irritating interior.
