White color - a symbol of purity

White curtains create a special atmosphere

First of all, I want to note that the white color represents the symbol of purity.

Although there are fears that rooms with such curtains will look hospital-like or simply cheap, this color is often used in interior design, especially in cases where you need to visually expand the space, increase the illumination of the room, add not only space to it, but and the presence of air. This is most relevant for rooms located on the north side - white curtains will perfectly create a light atmosphere in the interior, “raise” small ceilings, wonderfully complementing the windows.

By the way, in rooms with low ceilings, white curtains are just perfect. In this case, the cornice should also be white or must be hidden under a lambrequin. And it is mounted right under the very ceiling. And the more he is invisible, the better for white curtains.

What rooms are suitable for white curtains

Most often, the white color of the curtains is chosen for the bedroom and living room. Also, white curtains can be decorated in such rooms as a kitchen, porch, gazebo, patio. And sometimes a children's room. However, in no case should there be a completely white children's room. And if the walls are white, then the curtains should be of a different color. But if the walls are green, emerald, blue, pink or terracotta, then the white color of the curtains is the best suited to such an interior.

Blue walls with white curtains look wonderful

Well, it doesn't even make sense to talk about black and white design, he himself speaks for himself, because this is a classic of the genre.

As we know, the bedroom is primarily used for relaxation and privacy. In this regard, pure white color is the optimal solution to these main tasks. In addition, white curtains have excellent light transmission, even if the curtains are very dense and completely closed.
In cases where the bedroom area is very small, it is recommended to hang a white tulle and completely close the wall with windows (from wall to wall and from ceiling to floor). Then you can visually add a few meters to it.

For the living room, white curtains are no less successful than for the bedroom. And if you hang a dense draped white tulle, then you can add luxury at all. Dense linen curtains give a neutral effect, and therefore can wonderfully fit into any interior, even the most unexpected.

Accents in a bright dining room interior with white curtains

And in order for the room not to look like a hospital, you should add bright accents to it, for example, paintings, colored pillows or carpets - all this will brighten up the excessive severity that white creates.

For a veranda or terrace (as well as for a balcony) it is best to choose a white tulle, which can be either very thin or dense linen. In any case, for such premises this is a very practical and advantageous option. And in the heat, white curtains will not make you soar like curtains of any other color, because they absolutely do not restrain light from the sun and do not heat up. Most appropriate in styles such as colonial and Moroccan.

Children's room with white curtains

But in the children's room, white curtains are not so often used. Most often they are necessary in those cases when you need to create an atmosphere of judgment and tranquility. For example, if your child has a rebellious character or is inclined to leadership qualities. Neutral white color will come to the rescue perfectly.For these purposes, you can use curtains not only pure white, but also with any shade of it (ivory, milk, etc.). Moreover, the color is suitable for both girls and boys. Only for boys it is best to use a more strict version, without ruffles and other frills, for example, Roman curtains.

Children

White curtains are easy to care for.

It only seems that white curtains require special care. And many people are most confused when buying this moment. Do not worry about this. On the contrary, with white textiles during washing the least problems arise. After all, various bleaches can be applied to it, unlike colored fabrics. And modern automatic machines do an excellent job of this task. It is only important to buy curtains made of quality fabric. Then, with proper care, such good-quality curtains can serve you for very long years.

White textile does not require special care

A very nice shade of white is ivory. It is warmer, softer and more pleasing to the eyes. And if you categorically reject and do not accept white, but want to have light curtains, then the color of ivory is what you need. They are perfect for both the classic interior and the romantic.

The color itself is very relaxing and languid. In this regard, it is simply ideal for a bedroom, living room or even a children's room.

White curtains have a number of advantages over others. Here they are:

  • with white curtains, even the darkest and darkest room will become much lighter and more comfortable;
  • in order to visually stretch the height of the ceiling of the room, it is necessary to place the cornice at a distance of 40 - 50 cm from the window;
