Curtains as a decorative element should also be functional. Depending on the purpose of the room, the requirements for textiles also change.
For example, in the kitchen you can do without curtains at all, but in the children's room you will have to gather all your accumulated experience and knowledge. Here are a couple of tips for this case.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, told what you need to pay attention to in addition to the color and quality of the material.
First, the gender and age of the child
Bright colors with a pattern will also be suitable for a room for children. If we are talking about a teenager, then here there can already be only single-color curtains, or with a geometric or abstract pattern. For young men - simple and straight, and for girls - elegant curtains with drapery.
Secondly, it is easy to care for.
Curtains in the nursery will need to be washed more often. Therefore, they should be easy to remove and put back, and not shrink after washing.
It is also better to use linen or cotton, wool or bamboo fabrics - they do not collect dust as much.
Thirdly, functionality
They should protect from bright sun and night street lighting. These can be either roller models or classic floor-length curtains.
Fourthly, aesthetics
With all these qualities, curtains should harmoniously match the interior, the color of the walls and furniture, as well as the textiles in the child’s room.
Fifth, the cardinal directions
If the windows face west or north, experts advise choosing warm shades. In this case, the room will be cozier and brighter.
