Window decoration completes the renovation and can give the room a special atmosphere and coziness or ruin everything.
In some cases, experts recommend abandoning curtains altogether in favor of light curtains. Sometimes it is simply necessary to take fashion trends into account.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to choose curtains and not make a mistake.
1. It is not enough to simply select a fabric that matches the color – you need to take into account the style of the interior.
If it is a classic, then you cannot do without thick curtains made of high-quality fabric (velvet or jacquard).
Minimalism allows for light curtains or Roman blinds.
2. It is necessary to achieve harmony in color with the decor in the room.
Curtains should match the color of the upholstery of upholstered furniture, carpets and other textiles.
3. For windows that are constantly exposed to sunlight, you will need blackout fabrics or roller blinds.
If this is the shady side, then darkening the room would be a mistake, so a light curtain will be enough.
When choosing curtains, it is important to take into account the type of cornice.
Firstly, a combination of curtains and light transparent drapes is considered a stylish solution.
You can use three types of curtains at once, or combine roller (Roman) blinds with tulle or curtains.
Secondly, it is recommended to choose curtains in such a way that large folds are created.
It is recommended to avoid unnecessary decoration, which allows you to use this type of window decoration in any interior.
Thirdly, you can decorate not only the window with curtains and drapes, but also the entire wall on which it is located.
This option is good for interiors decorated in a minimalist style.
It is recommended to use thick, plain fabric and hidden cornices.
Another option is to use lightweight materials that allow light to pass through, such as veils, organza or other options that do not prevent light from penetrating into the room.
