Windows without curtains - is it a correct design decision or a gross mistake? Expert's answer

06.10.2023 01:30

When decorating a living room or bedroom, some people decide not to hang curtains at all.

On the one hand, this design move is correct: the product “eats” a lot of space, which makes the room visually smaller and more cramped.

And one more thing. The absence of curtains is a guarantee that the room will always have enough light and brightness. Do not forget that even undrawn products prevent sunlight from entering.

However, despite all the advantages, Yulia Tychino , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of interiors, calls this design decision a mistake.

Why you can't do without curtains

The point is that the products protect from the scorching sun. This is especially important during hot periods and if the windows "look" to the south.

Curtains protect from both too bright light and high temperatures.

Therefore, it is not recommended to remove the curtains: sooner or later the moment will come when they will seriously help.

What to do if curtains are still in the way

But what should you do if the curtains really take up a lot of space and clearly do not decorate the room?

The answer is simple: you need to choose laconic curtains without unnecessary details and an abundance of colors.

But the ideal option is to replace the standard product with roller blinds. Such a device can be completely removed at any time: only a small roller will remain above the window.
