Heavy curtains made from high-quality, expensive fabric can fit perfectly into the interior of a large space, where residents or guests have the opportunity to admire the curtains from a distance.

But in small spaces, as the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , confidently states, such a solution cannot be called successful even by a stretch.

Because the curtains will attract all the attention, they will visually narrow the space.

If you don't want this result (and you probably wouldn't want to achieve this effect), it's better to choose light tulle or translucent curtains in light shades.

Being light and airy, they are suitable for any interior style.
