How to Beautifully Decorate Windows: Designer Tips
Window decoration is an important part of the interior design of any room.
Windows not only perform a functional role, but also create a certain atmosphere in the room.
According to Yulia Tychino, an expert in the field of design and interior design for the online publication BelNovosti, when choosing window decoration, several key points should be taken into account.
First, it is important to decide on the interior style. If the apartment is dominated by classics, it is better to choose thick curtains of calm shades, heavy fabrics such as velvet or plush.
For apartments in a modern style, light, discreet fabrics, Roman blinds or blinds are suitable.
Secondly, you should pay attention to the lighting of the room. Light diffused fabrics are better used in dark rooms, and for well-lit rooms - denser options.
Thirdly, when choosing the color and texture of the fabric, it is important to consider the direction of the windows. For the north side, it is better to choose light shades and natural fabrics, for the south side - brighter and denser materials.
To make the windows look harmonious, the designer recommends choosing the design to match the color of the walls and furniture. This will visually increase the space.
In addition to the choice of fabrics and colors, the type of design plays an important role. There are several basic options, each of which has its pros and cons.
According to the designer, the most popular solution is classic curtains on cornices. They look good in rooms of any size and shape. The main disadvantage is that the curtains block a lot of light.
Another popular option is Roman blinds. They are attached directly to the window frame, so they let more light into the room.
The disadvantages include the complexity of installation and the inability to completely close the window.
For small rooms, the designer recommends using Austrian or French curtains. They visually expand the space and let in a lot of light. The downside is that such curtains do not create complete darkness.
An original solution can be blinds - both horizontal and vertical. They are functional, easy to maintain, but have a rather modest appearance.
In addition to classic curtains, there are other interesting options for window decoration.
For example, designer Ivanov talks about curtains - voluminous fabric structures that are mounted directly on the window.
Curtains can be straight or gathered into folds. They look great in interiors in a classic style, but require proper installation taking into account the features of the room.
Another stylish option is lambrequins. These are decorative trims that are attached to the top of the window opening. They allow you to focus attention on the curtains, creating a rich effect.
Roller blinds and jalousie are often used in modern interiors. They are laconic, functional and easy to install. The main thing is to choose the right texture and shade of fabric.
Thus, when choosing window decoration, it is worth considering the style of the room, the features of the space and your decorative preferences. A competent approach will help make the interior harmonious and expressive.
