After all, it will be much more practical option Roman blinds or roll, and even better - blinds.

Tulle is a thin light fabric of a transparent type, smooth or with patterns, which can be of several types. Who else is not familiar with the main feature of the curtains, I will tell. This unusual fabric opens up a good overview on the one hand, blocks visibility on the other.
Tulle for panoramic windows in the kitchen
She appeared according to legend in the XV century. The bride of the French king needed to make a dress with a veil that would hide her face from the people around her, but did not limit her appearance. A lot of weavers tried to fulfill such an order, but only masters from the city of Tulle managed to cope with the task.
It was decided to leave the material the name of the city. People liked the new material so much that they began to apply it not only for making wedding dresses, but also for creating casual clothes, hats, and after, and for improving the interior.
Kitchen interior with short curtains in Provence style
Inspired by this legend, you and I can hang out tulle in the kitchen and imagine that we are in French Provence. But first, I better tell you about the main functions of such curtains.

Curtains can hide the defects of the window frame
The choice in favor of tulle for the kitchen is usually determined by such basic functions of curtains:
- Adjusting the light - the lighting in the room should be enough. The fabric should not block it completely, it is important to leave some coolness in the room.
- Visual elimination of defects in window openings or frames - if there are design flaws, distortions, cracks, cracks or other defects, then we hide all this with curtains.
- Addition of design - without a curtain, the room looks somehow uninhabited and bare. If you hang the curtains, then immediately becomes so homely cozy. Sometimes this is the one whose element is not enough to create a full-fledged kitchen interior design.

Basic properties
In fact, tulle is a versatile, lightweight, translucent material used to curtain windows. Universal, I called it for a reason. It can organically fit not only into the interior of the kitchen, but also into the design of any other rooms in the apartment.
Selected tulle will decorate any room
But it is worth returning to the advantages of such material. As far as I know, tulle has long been at the peak of popularity. Keeping confident positions helps him to constantly update models, the release of stylish new products. Although tulle curtains do not completely protect against sunlight penetration, they are very comfortable and practical, and also have several virtues:
- material must be strong, durable;

Types of fabrics
The main types of fabrics for sewing cloth are:
- organza;
- veil;
- grid;
- kisja
I will tell you a little about each species.
The combination of different materials curtains: tulle and silk curtains
Organza
Organza is the most common material that is made from polyester. Its fibers are strong enough, and the material itself is light, transparent, it creates a feeling of airiness, weightlessness. Orgaz made of viscose and silk, but this variety is quite expensive. Like most other tissues, organza has its advantages and disadvantages. The main disadvantage is that it is badly breathable.

But she has more advantages:
- do not serve as a place of accumulation of dust;
- it is easy to wash, dries quickly;
- does not crumple;
- It has high wear resistance and light transmission function.
Veil
Light and thin veil
The veil is another light, thin, translucent material that is used to decorate windows. The veil can be made of cotton, silk, wool, but the wear resistance and durability is better than that of polyester products.
It is more soft from organza. This property is useful if you need soft folds drape. The advantages and disadvantages of this fabric coincide with the features of the previous one, but additional care will not be needed here.
Grid
The grid is a peculiar type, having a perforated structure. The sun's rays perfectly pass through this material. There is a huge amount of colors.
Tulle-net for the kitchen
The grid can be combined with drapes or other types, used as a separate element for decorating windows. But there is a drawback - the mesh will become an excellent dust collector in the kitchen. People with allergies should not choose this kind of food for their cuisine.
Kisey
Kisey - unduly the least common form. It is a curtain consisting of numerous shiny threads. This material can be made of synthetic, cotton, silk, flax. Threads turn out air, do not create feeling of overloading of space. Very often used for zoning rooms.
Light and translucent curtains
Muslin
There is also such a type as muslin - this is a dense synthetic fabric for the kitchen, a very convenient solution.

Choosing the optimal length
Conventionally, the length of all the curtains for the kitchen can be divided into two categories:
- long;
- short
I want to figure out with you exactly when short curtains would be appropriate, and when long.
Design of the kitchen window with a balcony door
Short tulle is ideal for pet owners. After all, cats, dogs love to play with everything that happens to be on their way, including your curtain. The short version will be useful if the dinner table or table top kitchen unit located at the window. In this case, the shortened curtains will be convenient to move or retract at any time.

Long tulle is suitable for those who have large kitchen dimensions, there is free space around the window. If the kitchen is located balcony, the option with short curtains will not be appropriate here. In addition, with a large draft, long tulle will not take off the air like a short variety.

If you still do not understand, then I will explain to you clearly. Beauty is most often in simplicity. It is not necessary to buy designer curtains for fabulous money to decorate the interior of the kitchen.
Selection of interior items in the same style
It is enough to buy a simple exquisite variety and show some creativity. For example, make beautiful folds on the curtains.
I will even give you several options:
- Fold-pencil - the most simple and well-known option. It is an even vertical wave.
- One-sided folds are obtained by fastening the fabric on one side across the entire width of the curtain.
- Diverse folds are created on the principle of one-sided, but arranged towards each other.
- Fold champagne glass - at the top with a small indentation from the attachment at the same distance from each other, volumetric folds are formed and sewn in one place each. It turns out the similarity of the tops of glasses, the bottom should be set in free fall.
- Horizontal folds that form on the tulle when it is thrown over the eaves and the creation of horizontal semicircular sagging in a chaotic manner.
- Cross festoons - the lower part of the drapes resembles a W-like crease, which is located closer to the lower edge of the fabric. It is created with the help of magnetic clamps, pins.
Creation with pleats
Color selection
The basic rule by which it is worth choosing a curtain color for a kitchen or any other room is its compatibility with other design elements. Sometimes this rule can be neglected.
Kitchen design in bright colors
There are quite useful recommendations on the basis of which you can choose the colors of the curtains:
- For the interior of the kitchen in the style of modernism and postmodernism, you can choose curtains absolutely any color. These styles suggest a full flight of fantasy hostess. But with the ornaments you need not to overdo it, it will be enough oblique or wavy lines.
- Other interior styles mainly favor compatibility of shades of detail and color of the selected tulle.
- It is better to complement a pure white curtain with draperies of such shades that are combined with other kitchen items.
- Most often, the advantage in choosing the color of the curtains is given to light, warm tones, among them are white, coffee, beige, gold, pink, peach. This is the most practical and correct decision. Light curtains will always expand the kitchen space and make it lighter.
- Do not forget about the reception of contrasting colors. As an experiment, you can focus on the window using bright screaming curtains, for example, red, yellow, blue, green. It is important not to overdo it and harmoniously fit this attribute into the interior design.
- A curtain of cool shades, including blue, gray, blue, mint, will help you to relax, to find peace.
- In large kitchens, you can hang curtains of dark colors, such as brown, chocolate, pistachio. This option will look advantageous, especially if the curtains are chosen exactly to match the interior palette.
Contrast solution: dark curtains and light tulle
There is nothing terrible in acquiring not monophonic tulle for the kitchen, but with printed drawings or ornaments.
You can safely choose:
- geometric ornaments;
- various lines;
- abstractions;
- floral patterns and color transitions.
Creative design ideas
Tulle can be combined with curtains in unusual ways, which I will tell you below:
Stylish color combination
- The color block technique involves a combination of several shades arranged in lines. Transitions between them can be contrasted. You can purchase a ready-made version, sew or paint the curtains yourself.
- Obliquely positioned tulle can cover only one part of the window. You can beat this option as one-sided, and securing two curtain linings on both sides. This option would be appropriate if there is no need to hide the window from prying eyes or when the room has an exit to the balcony.
- You can slightly open the window. For this purpose, an asymmetrical arrangement of canvases is used. One part of the tulle should be left hanging freely, and the other should be fixed on the side.
- On the most ordinary transparent fabric, you can sew ornaments made of thick fabric or whole strips to ensure aesthetic appearance.
It is sometimes useful to combine tulle with other curtains. Such a tandem performs many useful functions:
Kitchen design in vintage style
- in the dark when the light is on, the curtain will shine through and show the world what is happening in the kitchen, and the presence of curtains can solve this problem;
- in the presence of a reverse situation, namely bright sunlight beating into the room during the day, the curtains will be able to immerse the room in a quiet twilight.
Mounting method
Among the possible methods of fastening tulle for the kitchen, it is advisable to consider options for hooks, velcro, eyelets, and it is also possible to sew tulle to the hem.
Option hooks gradually and surely fades into the background. They are almost invisible, but very fragile, most often made of plastic. But the disadvantage of using this method of attachment is that the hooks often fly off or break.
Tulle hook fastening
On velcro fasteners, Japanese curtains are most often attached, which consist of several parts and can move separately from each other. Such fastening will be imperceptible, the velcro curtains look neat, beautiful, organic. You should not choose such a mount in the house where there are animals or small children, since any sudden or careless movement will accelerate the unstuck of curtains.
Beige Curtains with Velcro Loops
Fastening with stitching is a stretching on the tulle cornice with the help of special stitched holes. The larger these holes, the simpler the tulle is in terms of stretching, lifting, sliding.
Tulle on the drawstring
I left you with a variant of grommets for a reason. This is the most popular and convenient method of fixing curtains. Eyelets are like rings.
They have many advantages:
- made of any materials - metal, plastic, wood;
- come in all sizes;
- easy to install;
- added to the style of curtains refinement;
- make the process of clinging curtains significantly simplified;
- perfectly hold the fabric, which makes it easy to move the curtain on the eaves;
- allow you to create symmetrical folds.
The curtains on the grommets form deep uniform folds.
It's time to move away from the usual outdated methods of fastening curtains, I recommend you to choose the grommets.
