How to choose the right curtains

Every housewife knows how important curtains are for creating home comfort in a house. If the curtains are chosen correctly, then they are able to visually enlarge the room, make it lighter and “warm”. But to buy the first curtains you like will be fundamentally the wrong decision - you need to consider several important factors, such as material, texture and color of the product. If one makes a mistake, the room will become uncomfortable and repulsive. How to choose the right curtains?

The main types of curtains

Curtains and furniture

Curtains and the interior should first be in harmony with each other in texture, patterns, colors and sizes. For example, a small room visually increase light curtains. At low ceilings, you should pay attention to curtains with vertical stripes, and it is better to look into the narrow and high room with horizontal stripes. Curtains with beige, red, terracotta and yellow shades will fill the room with cozy warmth, and blue, violet and gray tones will give coolness. Designers usually resolve this issue using the traditional classic trio - they select 3 primary colors and create a common color scheme based on them.

 

Pay attention to the fabric curtains. Material of the same color without any patterns is much easier to combine with the interior of the home. If you want curtains with patterns, then they should be combined with wallpaper, carpets or upholstery. The main role here is played by the size of the pattern, and its theme. But you should not get carried away with the variety of patterns, it is better to follow the contrast so that the wallpaper and curtains do not merge into a single background: you should choose curtains that are darker or lighter than the color on the wallpaper.

 

 

Always the color, texture and style of curtains should be carefully selected for the color, texture and style of the furniture in the room. Wallpaper should not be in tone with future curtains True, there are exceptions: the modern style of the interiors in many apartments allows you to choose curtains that do not harmonize with furniture either in color or in other factors, but despite this they fit perfectly into the overall.

Each room has its own curtains.

For example, for bedrooms the most acceptable curtains are not bright in color, which will help relax and rest, and not bother with brightness or extravagance. To a greater extent, they truly have a relaxing effect, muffled blue and green (pistachio) curtains, as well as cream and pearl curtains. And if you want to add brightness to the room, then it is better to do it on some small accessories.

But in living room just unlimited flight of fancy. The main thing is only to choose the right tulle and drape for the style of the room. And so here you can experiment with the shape, color and texture of the curtains as much as you like.

For the kitchen in style country curtains are better to try to choose light colors, cold shades are ideal for high-tech kitchens, and for a classic style you can choose without a picture, any colors that would combine with the overall interior.

Curtains, as you know, are a very important element of the interior in every home, because they can change the room with a minimum of cost and effort beyond recognition.
