Curtains in the kitchen may seem out of place, but only if they are chosen without taking into account important points. There are five of them.

If you avoid mistakes, curtains will give the room a special coziness and make the kitchen a real home.

1. Light

The main thing is that the curtains do not make the already dark room even darker. Therefore, you need to pay attention to the amount of daylight. Based on this parameter, choose the material for the curtains. If the side is north, then choose light fabrics and vice versa.

2. Security

The main thing is that a draft does not throw the curtain onto a burning gas stove burner. Therefore, if there is a risk of contact between the material and dangerous areas, it is better to exclude this idea.

3. Color

It's easier here. However, you shouldn't get carried away and it's better to choose textiles of a neutral color, adding accents with edging, but everything should be harmonious. Don't forget that it's advisable to choose textiles for the kitchen in one color scheme.

4. Material

Curtains in the kitchen are more of a decorative element. It is believed that thin material makes the room lighter and more comfortable. It is these curtains that should be chosen so as not to disturb the harmony in a laconic interior.

5. Length

This is the last point. The length of the curtains depends on the dimensions of the kitchen. If these are classic "6 squares", then long curtains made of thick and heavy fabric will reduce the already tiny kitchen to toy-like dimensions.

In this case, you need to take into account the presence of a balcony exit. Curtains should not interfere with the exit and closing of the door. In addition, you will have to refuse to use tulle, which can get dirty after a couple of door openings.
